"SON OF A ^!#$@ I FORGOT MY SHAMPOO" Disney World Trip Report 2015 Day 3

December 31, 2014

Good morning, Destin!  What a way to start off a new year, right?  It was a chilly day but not cold.  So we headed to the one place a girl who lives in a tiny 1 Wal-Mart town goes to shop when visiting a big city...  Target.  They have Starbucks and that's a luxury we don't have where I'm from.  We picked up a few snacks then went to grab some lunch before heading to the beach.

 

Not the best picture but recognize those stripes?  MmmmmmmHmmmm Feav's first What-a-Burger!  Seriously, Florida gets all the cool things!  With food in hand, well Starbucks in mine, we head to see the scenery.

Pretty phenomenal scenery.  Unfortunately it was getting chillier too.  We had planned on heading out to enjoy the New Year's Eve fireworks at midnight but it was getting colder and catching a cold before Disney would be disastrous for me so we decided to play it safe.

 

We headed back to our nice warm hotel room.  I mean you can't complain at all in a hotel like this.  Mom had gotten a new Fitbit for Christmas and she was happy with some free time to try it out and get prepared for Disney.

She headed to the gym.  The gym had these tall windows with a great view!

She could see the ocean while she walked.  Needless to say, she was a pretty happy camper.  Right, Mom?

It was New Year's Eve and cold out so we took the opportunity to check out a Destin favorite.  Thanks Jason for teaching me to use Yelp!

 

Merlin's had amazing reviews online everywhere I looked.  Finally the moment of truth was upon us!

Verdict is...  it's really good!  Definitely a new Must-Do in Destin! Feav and Mom both enjoyed it.  It was a great finish to 2014!  With full tummies we rang in a new year.

Complete with fireworks from our room!  After that it was bedtime.  Another long drive the next day.  Destination: Crystal River, Florida
