My dad was in town so I met up with him for some  yummy oysters at Johnny's Hideaway.

Friday--rest.  Kory I headed to Disney for our Christmas fun outing.  We went to the Hollywood Studios to see the Spectacle of Lights.  We got engaged there so it holds a special place in my heart. 

 Then we went to Epcot to try some of the tasty food for Holidays Around the World.  We had the turkey waffle, which was okay, but the hot salted caramel drink was amazing!  It tasted like melted Werthers!  We stayed to watch the special holiday fireworks. I'm not a fan of Illuminations but the Encore during the holidays is amazing!  My cousin sent me her "Flat Ashlynn" so we took some pictures with her.

Then I met up with Meghan and Karen to head out of town to Cape Coral for the night.  We were running the Best Damn Race Cape Coral Half Marathon the next day!  We stayed at the Westin and it was really nice!  We went to the Expo to pick up our goodies then headed back to the hotel to check it out.  We had a drink at the Nauti Mermaid bar.  Then we browsed the shops and had dinner at Pinchers.  We had to get up early so we headed to bed around 8 (the earliest I have gone to bed since elementary school!)

Sunday-- Best Damn Race Cape Coral Half Marathon.  13.21 miles in 2:11:36.  A 1:31 PR!  It was freezing and I was sooooo not in the mood to run so I'm quite proud of myself!  Mile 1: 9:23, Mile 2: 9:06, Mile 3: 9:07, Mile 4: 9:16, Mile 5: 10:06, Mile 6: 10:40, Mile 7: 10:06, Mile 8: 10:25, Mile 9: 10:12, Mile 10: 10:57, Mile 11: 10:14, Mile 12: 10:34, Mile 13: 10:05, Mile 12-13.21: 9:10, Average Pace: 10:00.

After the race, we took quick showers then stopped at Perkins for a quick brunch.  Then we headed back home.
