Slept in the next morning, since we
didn't need to get to the Mini-meet at Beaches and Cream until 11am.
Finished getting all the bags arranged and then had the Bellhop place most
of them in storage. We kept the kids carryons, and our swim gear.
Headed back to Disney World and arrived at the Beach Club just before 11am.
Walked in and through the lobby out to Beaches and Cream entrance where we
immediately found Karen (TigH) and Ross her husband. Karen recognized
us right away and we all started talking about the trip. I think Karen
must have memorized our trip reports! :-) She remembered more
about what we did than we did. It was great! She had brought
her trusty camera and took a few pictures of the girls (who were a bit too
shy to cooperate much - sorry Karen)
Beaches and Cream was pretty empty when we first went in, but filled up
pretty fast. Not too many people made it to the meet (I can completely
understand, there are so many choices to make with your time spent at Disney,
its hard to fit everything in) We sat with Karen and Ross and
enjoyed a great conversation with them. It was like we'd been good
friends for a long time. It was great to finally meet face to face.
Inside the restaurant we met Sheryl, her husband Terry and their two sons:
Zachary and Nicholas. They are vacationing from Buffalo,
NY. We also met CindyB from Pixie Gifts. It was great finally
meeting people I had only 'talked' to over the Internet. We talked
about our various vacations, and learned how much Karen, Ross and CindyB like
living in Florida. Part of me would love to relocate near Orlando, but
family and friends back home in NY make that a tough choice. Kristen
waffles back and forth as to whether or not she could move there. Right
now, we plan to stay put for a few years at the very least.
Everyone had ice cream but me (still full from the Hard Rock the night
before), and those are some mighty big sundaes! Karen got some pictures
of the different sundaes, but no one went for the kitchen sink. :-)
Sheryl and family were so nice and had toted presents for Brinn and Maddy
and several bottles of Buffalo Wing Sauce all the way to Florida! She
had bottles for each of us (and a few left over since not everyone came).
I LOVE chicken wings (or pretty much anything with Buffalo Sauce on it -
had some GREAT Buffalo Shrimp in Ocala...), so my bottle will go to good use!
Thanks Sheryl and Terry!
