A Fun Day With Tina

Friday, November 7, I picked up Tina at her hotel near the Orlando Convention Center and together we went to Downtown Disney to meet Cassie!

Tina and I don't get to get together often but this was a rare day, our day!

After leaving Cassie and Company we headed to Seasons 52 for a fabulous lunch!

First we had drinks, I got my "guilty pleasure" drink of Grey Goose Vodka along with stuffed blue cheese olives. We started with an appetizer of broiled crab & shrimp stuffed mushrooms with roasted garlic and caramelized parmesan. We also ordered a cup of mushroom and wild rice soup! Since the entree's arrived before the appetizers the chef deducted them from our tab. NICE! Tina ordered the grilled sea scallops

ending witI enjoyed Gulf Shrimp & Fusilloni Pasta sautéed with market vegetables in a light lemon-basil sauce.

We love they way they present their delicate portions of desert without the large portions. Tine enjoyed Mocha Macchiato while I chose the more traditional southern desert of Pecan Pie with Vanilla Bean Mousse. We also enjoyed a cup of espresso!

After dining we took off to the Mall at Millenia. While walking around Tina commented that the difference between the malls she usually frequents in this mall people were not carrying packages! Yes, it's a fun place to visit but totally out of our financial league!

We did wait until 4:00 PM when Blue Martini opened and sat outside enjoying the 77F weather and watching the palm trees blow in the breeze. The cheapest drinks were $12.00 each so we each only had two, only to find out it was "happy hour" and drinks were half price! I could have gotten my Grey Goose but enjoyed the fruity,Sex In The City
Van Gogh Blue Vodka, Peach Schnapps, Cranberry and Pineapple Juice and Mango Madness
Van Gogh Mango Vodka, Mango Schnapps, a splash of Pineapple Juice martinis. Tini chose the more creamy martini's starting with Caramel Swirl
Three Olives Vanilla Vodka, Butterscotch Schnapps, Irish Cream Liqueur, Caramel Syrup, in a Caramel Swirled Martini Glass and h Mochaccino
Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka, Starbuck’s Coffee Liquor, Dark Crème de Cocoa and a splash of Cream, garnished with a Rock Candy Stir Stick. We nursed these two drinks over two hours!

Being on a business meeting with her honey, I dropped Tina off at her hotel and drove home arriving about 8:00 PM! I was very tense in my neck from all the driving and getting lost looking for the resturant and hotel! All in all it was a wonderful day!
