Little pickers wear big knickers (on/off site July 2016) **COMPLETE**
 
Hello and welcome!
I am now home one week from an amazing 3 week trip!
5 nights SSR
2 nights St.Pete beach
2 weeks in a Dibb villa
1 night HRH Universal

The title of the report is a nod to Slimming world and a few of the phrases I used to tell myself every week, along with...
Take the C off chips and that's what your left with!
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels
A moment on the lips, a life time on the hips!
I lost 1st 3lbs before we left and was ready to put it all back on, I spent months looking at photos of food and drooling over reports on here.

I totally failed... damn you Slimming world and jet lag, it took me a good few days to get into my stride, and sometimes I forgot to take a photo. All plans go out the window when your there and tired from the parks and hot from the humidity. :mad2:

Lets begin;

Applegreen Dublin
BurgerKing
Me,DH Nigel and DS2 Liam all had burgers.

DS1 Joseph had chicken strips.




This was a yummy little pot of choc brownie and ice-cream.

Premier Inn Dublin
We paid for 2 adult breakfasts and the kids ate free, 20euro.
I failed to take any pics but it was the usual cooked breakfast and cereal ect.

Aer Lingus
Up 1st were the little bag of pretzels and a drink. I had a white wine and the others had a glass of coke.

The kids also got some pringles

The in flight meals done the rounds a little while later and we had the choice of chilli & wedges or chicken in a BBQ sauce along with salad, bread and a choc pudding... they were just okay!






An hr or so before landing we got a cuppa and a sandwich with a little chocolate bar

B.O.G Lunch
Today we were having lunch in the Beasts castle, I only ordered 3 meals between the 4 of us and it was just the right amount, any more would have been a waste.
We left this for Mousekeeping before we left!


Nigel and I shared the beef and Turkey baguettes, they were yummy. Turkey was the best.

Joseph and Liam shared the Ham & Cheese toastie

We choose the strawberry cup cake, the Masters cupcake and a cream puff for pudding. The Masters cupcake was the best, we found them all extremely sweet, like hurt your teeth sweet!:D


T-Rex cafe
We had a reservation for 5pm, but had to wait 20mins as the queue was out the door! This was Liams choice and he was really excited and we promised to let him build a Dino after!
We were seated at the fire pit and our server was lovely, we ordered drinks and I got the cocktail that he recommended, I didn't realize it came with a souvenir glass. I was flagging at this point and too tired to care :nonono:

I got fish & chips $20.99

Nigel got the Bronto burger $15.99

Joseph had the Pepperoni Pizza

Liam ordered the cheeseburger sliders

He also got the souvenir dino cup witch was $8.99 with 2 refills.
Overall the food wasn't great, it all seemed a bit cheap and frozen like you could buy it from Iceland. The place looked amazing but we were too tired to enjoy it and I don't think we'd rush back. The total was $129.23 we used 4 dining credits and paid tip and cocktail $55.

Here's Liams Dino, with the clothes and bag it cost $65!
