And it was delicious!! <br />
<br />
The Lee Vista location is new. It's only been open a few months. And it feels like a place where all the locals can get together to eat, drink, and be merry.<br />
<br />
But on to the food and drinks! The Ribs & Whiskey menu ends on October 17th so you have one more week to enjoy it!<br />
<br />

<br />
I started off with the R&W S'Weet Tea which was Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka, Fresh Lemon, Agave Nectar, Topped with a Shot of Shock Top Beer and a Kick of Orange. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have to admit. If I can taste the alcohol, I don't really like it. But this was delicious! But warning--it packs a punch!<br />
<br />
We started off with Blistered Polbano & Jalapeno "Popper-Style" (Roasted Corn, Cheddar, Mozzarella & Provolone and Fresh Herbs with BBQ Ranch for Dippin'.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I'm also a weakling when it comes to spice. But there were so many cheeses that I had to try it. And the spice wasn't overpowering. In fact, I might have grabbed more after I was done!<br />
<br />
For a main entree we had the Slow-Cooked Smithfield James River St. Louis-Style Ribs, Granny Smith Apple Cabbage Slaw, Pimento Cheese "Stuffed" Tater Tots & House-Made Sweet Corn and Jalapeno Muffins.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The ribs were just as good as I thought they'd be! Delicious! But the surprise was the slaw. I'm not a slaw girl, but this one was so perfectly flavored that I ate it all!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We had 3 different sauces to try with our ribs: East Carolina BBQ, Jack Daniels Glaze, and Chiptole BBQ. My fav was definitely the Jack Daniels Glaze.<br />
<br />
We also got to try the Beef & Buns which was 24 Hour Smoked Beef Brisket Sliced Thin Slathered in Jack Daniel Honey Glaze, Granny Smith Apple Cabbage Slaw and Crispy Tobacco Onion on Buttery Onion Roll.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yum!<br />
<br />
<br />
For my second drink, I had one off the Girl's Night Out Menu (which I'll get to later). But it was called the Loco Coco. Loved it!<br />

Bourbon Bread Pudding!! I'm not a bread pudding fan so when we were told that people get angry when this goes away, I just kind of shrugged it off. Oh but I shouldn't have. The Creme- Brulee-Soaked Cuban Bread with a Splash of Honey Jack, for Sippin' was maybe the biggest surprise of the night for me. The blogger that I was sharing this with had maybe a few bites before she declared she was done. I couldn't just let it go to waste! So I did my duty and finished it off! <br />
<br />
There are so many great options and things going on at Marlow's Tavern. General Manager Joel Diaz wants to to be a place that locals look forward to coming to. They have Girl's Night Out every Wednesday which has 3 appetizers and 3 drinks that aren't on the menu for $5 each. And every Friday and Saturday night they have live music.<br />

<br />
This Sunday, September 25th, Orlando will host the <a href="https://www.globalenergyrace.com/en/ciudades2016">Global Energy Race</a>, which benefits in part the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FeedHopeNow/">Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.</a> <br />
<br />
37 cities around the world, in 22 countries, will be participating in this race. <a href="https://bimbobakeriesusa.com/">Bimbo Bakeries USA</a>, is the US host with 4 cities in America. Runners will be working to "stomp out hunger" as they run. For each kilometer run by each participant, Bimbo Bakeries USA will donate two slices of bread to a <a href="http://www.feedingamerica.org/?referrer=https://outlook.live.com/">Feeding America</a> food bank, or a loaf of bread per 10k.<br />
<br />
The race, which has a 10k race and a 3k race, will also be a Guiness World Records attempt for the most number of cities participating in the same race on the same day. First place male and female runners of the 10k will receive an all expenses paid trip to ANY 2017 Global Energy Race participating city (side note, when I registered, it said that to win the trip, you must be wearing the race shirt at the race. So if you're speedy, make sure you consider that.) Awards will be given to the top three male and female runners in each city. 10k runners will receive medals and 3k runners will receive pins. Starting this year, both the t-shirts and medals will be part of a series, with this year being from Beijing. <br />

<b>Monday--softball</b><br />
<br />
Starting around the 4th inning, it started lightning really bad. They called the game but it started POURING while we were in the dugout. We tried to wait it out but we were still getting drenched so we eventually headed to the car, completely soaked!<br />
<br />
<b>Tuesday--dance</b><br />
<br />
This was the last dance class of this session. I need to decide if I'm going to sign up for the next one or not.<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday--rest</b><br />
<b><br />Thursday--rest</b><br />
<br />
Kory and I headed to the Ocoee Taco Company to meet up with Faith, Jordan & Ava Joy to celebrated Cinco de Mayo. It was a little party! Yummy food and a bounce house for the little ones! Then Kory and I tried out <a href="http://www.sweetjessiesicecream.com/about.html">Sweet Jessie's Ice Cream</a>. They had some fun flavors!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Friday--rest</b><br />
<br />
I went to an MRTT meet-up at <a href="http://www.servandos.com/">Servandos </a>for more Mexican food and margaritas! It's always great to get together outside of running!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Thursday--rest</b><br />
<br />
Kory and I had dinner at <a href="http://www.raglanroad.com/stuff-yourself/cookes-of-dublin">Cooke's of Dublin</a> before going to see the Jungle Book. Since I love anything deep-fried, I had to tried the Battered Burger & Chips (Hand battered beef burger topped with garlic mayonnaise, tomato chutney and mixed greens) although I had it minus the tomato chutney. And since I love all things cheese, I had to get the Irish Vintage Cheese & Bacon Dip.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had the school carnival that night. I love seeing all the kids out!<br />

We decided to water park hop between <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/blizzard-beach/">Blizzard Beach</a> and <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/typhoon-lagoon/">Typhoon Lagoon</a>. I feel like I got some exercise in though. We hit up Blizzard Beach for all of the slides (which have tons of stairs to go up to get to each one) and Typhoon Lagoon for the wave pool (which is exhaustingly fun!)<br />
<br />
Kory made a delicious steak dinner with mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and lobster ravioli!<br />
<br />

<br />
This race was rough! It didn't start until 8 and was way too hot. I had to stop way more than normal. I was first in my age group, but my time was 4 minutes off my normal time. They need to make the race earlier in the year.<br />

Friday--rest<br />
<br />
We signed the contract to build a new house!! We've been looking for 5 years and it's finally done! (well, we have to wait for the house to be built, but you know what I mean!) I'm so excited! Hopefully we'll be moved in by the end of September!<br />

<br />
Softball had a bye so the team had a little outing to watch the Braves Spring Training game.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Tuesday--dance class</b><br />
<br />
It was belly dancing night. I've learned that while I might be pretty okay at Irish Step Dancing, last week (latin dancing) and this week showed me that I have absolutely no hip action!<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday--rest</b><br />
<br />
We had portfolio night at school. It was a looong day!<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday--rest</b><br />
<br />
I took Faith over to see the house we liked and to take more pictures.<br />
<br />
Then Kory and I headed to the Studios. We ate dinner at the <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/hollywood-studios/hollywood-brown-derby/">Hollywood Brown Derby</a> out on their new patio bar. Then we headed over to the Streets of America to say goodbye since it's being demolished. Sigh. I'm not happy about the changes. The park will no longer be what it was created to be. It makes me sad.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then we watched the Star Wars fireworks before they change it up. I'm not a Star Wars fan but it was neat to see them over my ride and the actual fireworks were pretty cool.<br />

<b>Saturday--rest</b><br />
<br />
Kory and I went to go ask some more questions about the house and ask about how to go about signing the contract. Only to find out that it had sold that morning. I was really upset. Thankfully the sales guy emailed me a few hours later with an even better floor plan. While it would unfortunately mean having to wait another 6 or so months, it will be exciting to watch our house built from the ground up. We're hoping to get that approved and sign a contract!<br />
<br />
We headed to out to run errands and ate at Zaxbys.<br />
<br />

Then it was bed time since we had to be up early for the race.<br />

<br />
The race was seriously the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm so glad that I had Faith by my side! <br />
<br />
After the race we got a wonderful massage then headed back to the room because we were disgustingly filthy and muddy. After showering and a quick rest, we decided to have a drink in the hotel bar, the <a href="http://www.bohemianhotelasheville.com/dining/">Red Stag Grill</a>, and there was a cheese plate so I had to get it.<br />

<br />
We slept in. We were going to tour the <a href="http://www.biltmore.com/">Biltmore </a>House but for the price, we weren't sure we'd have enough time. So we walked around to kill time and had lunch at the <a href="http://www.thecornerkitchen.com/">Corner Kitchen</a> and then dessert at this cute bakery. Then we caught our flight home.<br />
<br />
<b>Tuesday--Dance & Tone Class</b><br />
<br />
I started a new dance class at Epcot. I loved it! The first half of the class is learning a routine--each week is a different theme. This week's was Irish Step Dancing. Then the second part is toning the body. It definitely kept me entertained!<br />

It's this fun challenge for Cast Members that's divided into two parts. First is really hard Disney trivia. Then the second part is where you have to go around and solve puzzles to get clues for the final word. Usually they're verbal/wordy puzzles that Kelly and I are good at. This year, they were mostly visual and extremely hard! But it was still lots of fun!<br />

Soon it was time to head over to the Magic Kingdom for the Disney Vacation Club 25 and Beyond Bash! We ran into Kate and Katie and had a great time hanging with them all night. It was almost time for Wishes so I had this great idea to time it perfectly so we'd be on Thunder Mountain during the fireworks and it worked. </div>

I've seen Zoes Kitchen in Gainesville and Jacksonville and wanted to try it out. So I was excited when a Central Florida Lady Bloggers event was held there. <br />
<br />
Zoes Kitchen is a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant. And there was tons of yummy foods to try! I think my favorite was the hummus trio.<br />
<br />

There was traditional, red pepper, and basil pesto served with pita bread and cucumbers. The basil pesto was the overall favorite of the group. We couldn't stop eating it!<br />
<br />
Then we tried the Greek Salad which had tomato, cucumbers, olives, onions, feta, and greens. We topped it with Zoes Kitchen Greek Dressing.<br />

I am not normally a bean person. And I can't believe I'm saying it. But this dish was a very close second favorite of mine of the night. They were absolutely delicious! I could easily have eaten the whole bowl and not shared at all!<br />
<br />
Some kabobs came out next.<br />

Shrimp & salmon kabobs with zuchinni<br />

<br />
Be warned--the shrimp and salmon ones had a kick to them! The steak was my fav of the three. Often times the steak can be tough and dry, but not here! It was cooked perfectly.<br />
<br />
We also go to try Spinach Roll-ups which were tortillas with mozzarella, fresh mushrooms, feta, roasted tomatoes, and scallions served with a dipping salsa (we were warned the salsa was spicy so I didn't try any)<br />

<br />
It had the texture of being not quite all the way done--which I love!! I *may* have had three of these pieces! (Hey, that's why I run!)<br />
<br />
We walked away stuffed! They're opening a restaurant on my side of town in Dr. Phillips by the end of June and I can't wait to go try more items off the menu (especially the Mediterranean Baked Feta). And I'll definitely be ordering more of those braised white beans!<br />

My friend Meghan over at Meghan on the Move is celebrating in memory of her pup, Pepper's 11th birthday. She asked friends to do something special for puppies or kitties over the weekend. #RAKsForWoof In honor of Pepper, I gathered up all of Bella's things from when she was a puppy that she didn't use like training pads and toys, and I'll be donating them to the local animal shelter. Hope you're having a wonderful birthday over that Rainbow Bridge, Pepper!</div>

I attended a Central Florida Lady Bloggers event there last week and got to try a bunch of yummy items!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first item we tried was a Turkey Tostada. It was lightly fried corn tortilla with refried beans, melted cheese, toppings, salsa, and of course--TURKEY! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Outside of dessert, this was my favorite menu item of the night! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up we tried the Mahi Tacos topped with cabbage, pico de gallo, and a southwest citrus vinaigrette. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mahi in it was cooked deliciously!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next came the Blackened Chicken Flautas. I'd been wanting to try these but always stick with my standard so I was excited!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They were perfectly crispy and I loved that it came with queso to dip in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our last entree item of the night was a Ground Turkey Norrito Bowl (no + burrito = norrito).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved their take on the bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And finally--dessert. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Flautas!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are simply amazing!! I could eat the whole platter by myself if allowed!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We left stuffed and happy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I learned some fun facts about Tijuana Flats--it was started in 1995 by a UCF grad and is now in 6 states! And they have a foundation called the Just In Queso Foundation where all proceeds from the sale of each bottle of Just In Queso Hot Sauce go to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And another fun fact that I especially enjoy but didn't until now-- with ID, all teachers get 10% off!</div>

Last year we stayed at the hotel where the start was literally out the front door. It was amazing. But this year when I called to book all the cheaper rooms were already gone so we ended up canceling our reservation. And getting up at 3:00am to drive over to the Tampa area.<br />

<br />
This race is my current half PR but I'm nowhere near the shape I was in last year. And since it was the weekend between our two fulls, Faith and I decided to run it together and enjoy it.<br />
<br />
We stopped for our race tradition of McDonalds on the way back. Then Kory and I went looking at some houses. We saw some we like but we need to sit down and really look at our budget.<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday--rest</b><br />
<br />
I met up with some Yelpsisterhood gals at Eastside Bistro at Avalon Park for a quick brunch before heading back home to Kory to look at more houses. Then we went over to Ron & Kelly's to watch the Superbowl. I had a very happy hubby that the Broncos won!<br />

Kory and I joined Dad at <a href="http://hotnjuicycrawfish.com/?p=489">Hot n Juicy Crawfish</a>. I don't do spicy so I just had the garlic butter crab legs.

We went to the expo for the <a href="http://www.celebrationmarathon.com/">Celebration Marathon</a>. I love that they gave towels this year!<br />

<b>Saturday--rest</b><br />
<br />
I slept in then met up with a bunch of MRTT ladies at <a href="http://www.bravoitalian.com/menus.html">Bravo! Cucina Italiana</a> for a pre-race dinner. I had my normal boring dinner of grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and rice (well, orzo this time) but the other food looked so yummy!<br />

I was nervous about the race because I really wanted to break 5 hours again. And I did! So I got my second best marathon time and beat last year's time by all most 2 1/2 mins. There were so many great supporters on course--lots of MRTT ladies and Faith's family! And Faith and I ran in to the finish together with a bunch of our MRTT ladies joining us!<br />

Then later on that night--we'd just finished running a marathon--what were we going to do next? Go to Chuck E. Cheese! We went with Jordan, Ava Joy, her sister Bergen and her sister's kids. <br />

I attend the event last year and had tons of fun so I was looking for to attending again! This year it was held at the Odyssey Center in Epcot.<br />

We started off with a yummy lunch and I saw <a href="http://livesweatsleeprepeat.com/">Caitlyn</a>, a fellow BDR Ambassador so I joined her group. <br />

We had each been given a character sticker when we checked in and after lunch we divided into groups that matched our sticker. I was team Mickey!<br />

<br />
We played lots of games and learned fun trivia.<br />
<br />
For the pencil challenge, we had to see how many pencils we could balance on the back of our hands, flip over and catch. Talk about hand-eye coordination! I got 4.<br />

<br />
We played a trivia exercise challenge where a trivia question was given, and to answer the question, you had to do a specific exercise.<br />
<br />
There was a balloon game where we bounced balloons around and when the music stopped, we grabbed a color and certain colors won or lost.<br />

<br />
One we all had fun with was the dance/lyric challenge where a song would be played and cut off and you had to touch your body part that was the next lyric in the song.<br />
<br />
There was a yoga tree challenge where you had to balance on one leg, close your eyes, then sway from side to side. I got up to the very last part. I guess all of those years of flying in cheerleading paid off.<br />
<br />
There were other fun games but the last one we did was a pasta challenge. You had to take raw a spaghetti noodle in your mouth and using only that thread penne pasta onto it and dump it into a bowl. That was hard!<br />
<br />

<br />
I learned all sorts of interesting facts but came away with 3 most important things to remember:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Get an annual check-up.</li>
<li>Know your numbers so you can take care of your health.</li>
<li>Don't be like a third of Americans who say they visit their health care professionals only when they have a health problem.</li>
</ul>
At the end we got to take pictures with the main cheerleaders themselves--Mickey and Minnie!!<br />
