A Week at the updated Coronado Springs

Before summer slips away, we thought we would do a review of the updated Coronado Springs resort at Disney World since we had the opportunity to stay there this summer.

As I mentioned before, I am on a quest to stay at all the Disney world resorts. This isn't as easy as it sounds because 1) We find our favorites and we like to go back more than once, I'm looking at you Polynesian Village, and 2) Disney keeps adding more resorts.

We booked our most recent Disney trip sort of at the last minute, so of course availability was limited to only a few resorts but when we saw Coronado Springs was one of them, we decided we wanted to try it!

The Grand Tea at Disney's Grand Floridian

During our Disney vacation, we like to take at least one day away from the parks and do something at one of the Disney resort hotels. Last year we did horseback riding at Fort Wilderness. You can read about that HERE.

This year we decided to do the Grand Tea at Disney's Grand Floridian.

Disney's Old Key West Fun Run

After doing all the official Run Disney races, my sister and I have made a point to start running the Disney Resort races.  These Resort Fun Runs are fairly new and started just at the right time ( a time when we were over getting up at 3 am for a race).

The Resort Races are definitely not

Weekend in Virginia Beach

Last weekend I visited my friends in Virginia Beach.  

The main purpose of heading down that weekend

Thank You...

I'm sure most of you have seen this picture of Baylee before, but I thought it was quite appropriate for this post today.

4th of July 5k

Yesterday I ran a 4th of July 5k race. The only thing patriotic about it was that it was on the 4th and the Star Spangled Banner was sung.

Anchorage Marathon Race Recap

 Last Saturday a friend and I ran the Anchorage Marathon in Anchorage, Alaska. We woke up the morning of the race and of course it was daylight out. It was actually daylight everyday from 5am until about 2am. This race was fairly small, less than 700 runners. We drove to a parking lot to ride the bus to the start. There was no problem parking or getting on the bus as one came by every 15 minutes. When we arrived at the start there was barely any lines for the porta potty. That's one indication you know it's a small race. 

Soon it was time
