Hi, everyone! I just got back a couple of weeks ago from a quick three day trip with my sister to check out the Flower & Garden Festival! As you can see in the title of this thread, three days is never enough... on the plane ride home, we regretted not staying at least another day. But, the good thing is that we will be back again in November for a six day girls trip, so that’s something good to look forward to!
This quick trip was planned only about forty days in advance. I bought an annual pass for the very first time this year since my hubby, sons and I went in January and we have the November trip coming up, and that AP card was burning a hole in my wallet! In mid-March I kept seeing info about the Flower & Garden Festival, and decided on a whim to book a room with the AP discount at All Star Movies for a quick solo trip from 4/29-5/1. I was able to book a ridiculously early flight down and a super late flight home so I could squeeze the most out of those three days. Bonus that my hubby had a $100 Southwest LUV Voucher from a delayed flight, plus I had Southwest Points... so it was a super cheap visit! Then, when I told my sis, she said she wanted to come, too! Woo hoo! And she bought an annual pass as well! So now we’ve started something... because I know for certain that we will want to renew our AP’s at the cheaper price. A trip or two a year sounds great to me!
In the course of the three days, we took NO pictures of ourselves... which is typical... but I do have some great pics of the scenery, the food, and the topiaries! So come on along with me as I relive our fun trip!
