Life's like a box of Chocolates, you never know what you're gonna to get... especially in the Palmetto State

You've heard the saying "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get" quoted from the famous movie Forrest Gump. Well remember Forrest's friend during the war Bubba and his dream of having a shrimp business? Well yea his dream is a reality not only here in Charleston,SC but also in other locations up and down the east coast. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has been providing fresh seafood and a good atmosphere to the people of Charleston for many years now, and if you haven't heard of the famous movie... then I recommend you go to the movie store and rent it and also go to the restaurant to learn more about Bubba's dream. Now I didn't come here to lecture you on not seeing the movie, so keep reading and I'll share my great dish and perfect cocktail at this prime movie location.

First with the cocktail. Now what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't start off with the cocktail. Served in the most southern way possible, in a mason jar, I present to you Bubba Gump's Poolside Punch. Served ice cold in a mason jar and garnished with an orange wedge, I give you one perfectly mixed cocktail. 

 Now typically I don't order cocktails like this in the middle of December... but when it is sunny and 75 (basically summer), obviously I'm gonna indulge and grab myself a summer time drink. 

 Alright alright, time to move on to the food. Keep reading and see what seafood sensation I devoured and just possibly I will make your decision as well.

Now tell me, what sounds better than shrimp, pasta, cheese and bread crumbs baked in the oven in a cast iron skillet? Cant come up with anything?? Yea cause their is nothing better than shrimp, pasta and cheese baked in the oven with bread crumbs till it becomes golden brown and crispy. 

Shrimp Shack Mac & Cheese is a must at this tourist hot spot. As the menu describes it: Southern cookin’ meets the sea! Noodles mixed with sautéed Shrimp, Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Parmesan Cheese. Topped with golden brown Bread Crumbs. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is and Im dying for some of this right now (but it is currently 11pm at night, and I'm pretty sure they are closed). 

 Now Bubba Gump's have other fan favorites like a Shrimp Po'Boy, Mama Blue's Southern Charmed Fried Shrimp, and Lt. Dan's Surf and Turf. Choose anything and you definitely can't go wrong. Need help with a recommendation? Either look at my suggestions (which I would never steer you wrong) or ask your server, but no matter what you choose you won't go wrong.
So have I made your decision on your next meal choice? I sure hope so! The next time you are wondering where to go for a good meal, sweet treat or homemade recipe, come right here and this southern girl will take care of you.

Dancin along to the Hoop Dee Doo Revue

Image
Ah.. the joys of booking your Disney vacation and planning every detail down to the fast pass times, dining locations and even what time you need to catch the bus back to your resort at the end of a busy day. Well if you want to make your trip interesting.. plan a surprise dining location (which is what happened on my latest trip) to start your vacation off on a good note. My twin sisters boyfriend booked our first night dining at Fort Wilderness Lodge at the Hoop Dee Doo Revue! A location I have heard so many great things about, it was an awesome surprise to start our week long vacation. Nestled in the depths of Disney's Fort Wilderness and sitting along Seven Seas Lagoon, you will find the Pioneer Hall where you will sit and enjoy a countrified feast. If I can give you some advice, be prepared to sing, clap and stomp along to some good ol' rustic country tunes. But i bet you are really interested in the country fare that we dined on.. well keep reading and I will share...

Dining with Chip and Dale around the Garden Grill

Image
Nothing like enjoying the day exploring Magic Kingdom, riding Big Thunder Mountain or visiting your favorite princess; but after all of that walking, you are going to need a filling dinner. Well for us we ventured to Epcot and dined with Chip, Dale, Mickey and Pluto at The Garden Grill. An all you can eat fare dining with some of your favorite characters is a perfect way to end the day.  Nestled in The Land Pavilion located right above Soarin' Around the World sits Garden Grill; a rotating restaurant that serves your meal "family style" all while dining with Mickey and some of his farm friends! Upon walking up and checking in, you take one look up and you see Mickey and his friends walking around saying hi and snapping photos with diners (and if you are like my twin sister, you are bouncing up and down waiting anxiously to meet Chip and Dale). We were fortunate enough to be greeted by David and walked to our table. He had a great personality and was one of the many outs...

"Crusin" into Nassau, Bahamas Day 2

Image
So Day 2 and we have found ourselves in the port at Nassau, Bahamas. Arriving into port early in the morning, the sunrise was beautiful and the views from our balcony were spectacular. Now Matt and I decided to not venture off the boat (since it was our first cruise) and what a smart decision that was. Literally everyone got off at the port and we basically had the whole ship to ourselves. After indulging in the Lido deck buffet for breakfast, Matt and I wandered around the ship and really got to explore (since during days out to sea, the ship is crowded). On the Carnival Liberty you will find: the Casino, The Fun Shops, The Venetian Palace (the place where Matt and I scored big during Bingo!), the Serenity deck (for those of you 21+), and so much more.  After really walking through the ship, we decided to go out on the Lido deck and enjoy the nice day, grab a drink and watch the on-board movie (the new Beauty and the Beast)! Now many of you would think I went right for...
