Magical Mini-Vacation (Animal Kingdom Lodge)
Repost from momma mommy bwuh. We had a truly enchanting trip to Disney, and we’re already dreaming of our next magical adventure. We recently enjoyed a long weekend away, sparing no expense, and it was worth every single penny. To celebrate the finalization of Boy1 and Boy2’s adoption, Hubs and I whisked them away to…

Orange Lake Resort (Kissimmee, FL – October 2025): Part 3
We kicked off our day bright and early with an 8:10 a.m. reservation at 1900 Park Fare, our very first character dining experience at this charming restaurant inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. I’ve been to the Grand Floridian before, but I’ve always entered through the second-floor monorail entrance. It’s beautiful, of course, but walking through…

Orange Lake Resort (Kissimmee, FL – October 2025): Part 2
Quiet mornings at Orange Lake are good for the soul. I love to sleep in while on vacation, but there’s something special about waking up before everyone else and soaking in the peace and stillness of the morning. Our condo porch overlooks a tranquil pond — the perfect backdrop for a slow start to the…

Orange Lake Resort (Kissimmee, FL – October 2025): Part 1
Hubs’ family has owned a timeshare in Kissimmee, Florida for over 40 years. I’ve been visiting the resort nearly every summer (and occasionally other times of the year) for the last 22 years. We have so many memories with family and friends, and with our own little family, at this spot. When the opportunity to…

Part Two: Lake Lure Adventures – Food, Finds, and Farewell
Our second evening was one of my favorite parts of the trip. We ventured out to Grey Hawk Bar and Gardens, an outdoor spot strung with garden tables, cozy firepits, and lawn games. A live band was playing when we arrived, setting the perfect mood. I ordered a cocktail called Cool as a Cucumber—so refreshing,…

Part One: Lake Lure Strong – A Return to the Mountains
I know this blog is called Traveling With My Bwuhs, but this time it was just me and my colleagues. Once a year, we retreat to my boss’s cabin in Lake Lure, NC—a chance to disconnect from work and soak up the quiet of the mountains. Last year, we never made it. Hurricane Helene hit…

Beaufort (July 2025): Part Three
A Bittersweet Farewell to BeaufortThe final day of our weekend getaway to Beaufort was a little bittersweet. As much as we were ready to get home to Barkley, none of us were quite ready for the adventure to end. Still, we made the most of our last few hours—and even squeezed in a bit more…

Beaufort (July 2025): Part Two
Beaufort Day Two: Sun, Seafood, and SpontaneitySaturday marked the second day of our Beaufort adventure, and it was another fun-filled, easygoing day—with just the right balance of activity and downtime (yes, there was a glorious mid-day nap). We started the morning slow, savoring a leisurely wake-up before heading downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.…

Beaufort (July 2025): Part One
Weekend in Beaufort, SC – Day OneThis summer, we took a weekend trip to Beaufort, South Carolina—a charming coastal town just about an hour’s drive from our home near Charleston. Most of our getaways require a bit more time on the road, so it was refreshing to take our time leaving home and still arrive…
