No Parks, All Recreation! Team Jamerica's August 2016 Brexit - Day 4 - Premium Outlets

[markiemark90]

Great explanation of Blob!

I know the game and call it Nomination Whist, I have also heard it called Killer Kirky and Oh Hell. Its a great game. You can sort of make your own rounds up. I like the "misere" round - win no tricks!

Good report. I got a north face coat form there also to stand and watch football! My son now does table tennis and is grown up. Why could he not have done table tennis when he was 7!

Another great day Jo

Amazing bargains with the coats!

Really glad you all enjoyed Olive Garden. We lurve it! Agree about the honk of Parmesan cheese though. GROSS!

Sorry I gave up on reading the rules of Blob! Hahaha!

Had to laugh at the boys, they remind me so much of me and my sister when we were younger... I don't know how my Mum put up with us, we were always winding each other up and bickering! (If it makes you feel any better we are the best of friends now in adult life!)

The food at Olive Garden looks delicious, still yet to try there so it will be on the list for next time!

Hi Lisa, I'm so pleased to hear you and your sister are best of friends now, that gives me hope!

Wait until you read about our next visit to Olive Garden before you add it to your list I'm kidding, it wasn't bad, just not as good x

So there you go for a quick synopsis 😄

You mean we have a thespian in our midst?!

I might give it a go, if it's on Netflix, otherwise I've no chance, I can't work the TV anymore. Bring back the days of terrestrial TV, it's all too complicated for me now xx

Totally hear ya on the bickering kids but they'll grow out of it, promise

Re the Orlando shirt the guy was obvs a weirdo!

You've still lost me on blob

Your Olive Garden Rosemary chicken looked gorgeous, might have to revisit as the last time we went we were not impressed.

Thanks for sharing lovely xxxx

Hey Lisa!

Oh dear, not another one who doesn't understand Blob, it's quiet simple

Hmmmm, Olive Garden does seem to be a bit hit and miss. We had a second meal there that wasn't so good...

Catch up soon! xx

Thanks Lesley I'm fed up of finding half empty (or half full! ) bottles of water all over the place! x

I swear I don’t remember the Olive Garden on International Drive smelling of vomit! But that one at Crossroads does, and if the Rolling Oaks one does too I don’t know what to think! The Parmesan in my fridge doesn’t smell of vomit…

Your food looks really nice though

TFS and all that,

Jo xx

The parmesan in my fridge did smell of vomit, I think it might have been in there a while

I can confirm that Olive Garden on I Drive does too smell of puke...

Loved Daniel's salad. So funny.

Ugghhhh, I am so over "bottle flip". I teach a cheerleading class and they are all at it (after the class of course).

All of the meals at Olive Garden looked delicious. We have never been because everyone else wants "American" food, but then if I ask them where they want to go they will say "Outback" lol. They have no idea!

Looking forward to reading more.

See more...

Haha! I must admit, we'd resisted Olive Garden again for a while because we do enjoy all the American food, but after seeing the picture of the rosemary chicken I had to give it a go

Bottle flipping cheerleaders, it actually sounds like they could incorporate it into their routine!

My boys are the same when shopping, and I know all too well that moment of loosing it outside while people look on!
What a bargain though with your coats

See more...

Thank you for your support, glad it's not just me losing it with the kids!

Another one for the Dibb card night then... x

[Archie14]

Just caught up with your latest instalment Jo, wow what bargains you got in North Face, wish I was as lucky as that.

[abiknox]

Not a bad day overall, shame about the bickering & the rude lady at the sweet shop

Daniels salad did make me laugh. 1 crouton, haha!

[Forkbeard]

I'm binge reading these trip reports, and they are great.

I've watched every episode of Power, even though it's naff

Blob sounds like fun. We play games whilst queuing for rides.

[smithlane]

What fab bargains! Loving the coats they are both exactly what I need for standing in the freezing cold watching football! Will be keeping an eye out for something similar next year.
My 2 are EXACTLY the same as your two! They have a love/hate relationship but my God you want to throttle them at times, I feel your pain 😡
We had written off Italians in Florida after 2 disastrous meals last year but all of yours looks yummy so may need to add Olive Garden to the list.
Thank you for explaining the rules of Blob, we love card games but, um I'm still none the wiser how you play it 😂
PS. bottle flip is now well and truly banned in our house after the playing got too vigorous and one fairly full bottle fell off the table, splitting open and emptying the entire contents over the dog! 😆

[mouselover22]

Hi Jo

Thanks for the Blob instructions I think if we all familiarise ourselves with Trumps, we will give it a go I have brought a few table games for next year to play in the villa and while waiting in restaurants for our food

Result about the North Face coats

Having 2 boys 11 months apart I have no idea what you mean about bickering and winding each other up My current threat of taking away their plastic water bottles seems to do the trick at the moment

For some reason the Brexit comment, the guy asking about the shirt and the sweet shop thing has made me really angry. Is there bitterness developing amongst Americans against English due to brexit? I don't even care about it but I will begrudge going and spending money in the USA if they've suddenly developed a thing about British tourists. Rant rant rant
