Triple Treat Tour July 2016 Day 11 Get Your Knits Out, yes more Shopping, Carbs and Cocktails

The day before is HERE

Wednesday 13 July

The plan said today was SeaWorld

But we are up early tomorrow for Discovery Cove and no one seemed thrilled at the prospect of two early starts in a row

So last night we decided to switch today to DisneyQuest for the boys and of course shopping for us

It was such a bonus that DisneyQuest was still open – they love it in there and with its even more reduced opening hours we didn’t need to be there until lunchtime

The morning was lovely and leisurely with another dip in the pool and watching daytime tv

Pretty similar to yesterday’s pool action



We set off at 1045 to the nearest Perkins



There was a large queue and after a party of 12 and then another group of 21 were seated before us, we decided to cut our losses as we did want to eat this side of midnight and headed up to the Perkins further along W Irlo Bronson Highway.

We were seated straightaway

The food took 30 minutes to come out. There seemed to be fewer waiting staff and it was a noticeably longer wait to eat.

Anyhoo, the tray of happiness arrived



I had the lemon blueberry pie pancake platter



Only on holiday could ketchup eventually appear on the same plate as whipped cream !

Andy had the heartymans combo




Yes, carb coma time ...



The boys all chose chicken strip melt.

They said the fries weren't very warm



incredibly good value at $76 and we left a $15 tip.



Still a firm fave for brekky. Love their coffee. Had a super server .

Waddled out feeling completely stuffed . Oops

We headed out at 1230 to DisneyQuest



Who put those cones there !



Seriously who takes pics of buses on holiday ?





We drop the boys off after getting their tickets - $144 for three



And arrange to meet them between 5 and 5.30

We then set off for the outlets at Vineland Road

It was busy but after some surreptitious shopper stalking we bagged a spot in the shade within 5 minutes and set off

Random pic – hardly there for the scenery are we ?


I got some fab bargains in Armani exchange – if you have not looked on their clearance rail at the back of the store – do !

I got some superb knitwear

omg , listen to me I sound so middle aged

Wool scarf for me for my horrid commute in the winter $15



Scarf and neckwarmer ( children of the 80s we called them snoods !) $23 a pair



I bought a set in blue and a set in grey as Xmas presents for my friends who go dogwalking. Now they can freeze in style !

Silk Scarf $11



To go with this jumper $28



And finally this black jumper which has a fancy swing design at the back $14




The “RRP” of all these was $670 according to the labels

I paid $115 inc tax.

Go Me !
