Best places to eat near Disney but not Disney

Image
Dr. Phillips of Orlando is just minutes from Disney and home to the best restaurants of Orlando ( I should add hundreds of restaurants along Sand Lake Road). We are so fortunate to live less than 5 minutes from these fabulous eating establishments. Just a suggestion...if you are able to have a car at Disney...USE IT! Just a few of the fabulous places that offer amazing deals and lovely atmosphere are the following.... Roccos Tacos   https://www.roccostacos.com/  is known by the locals as one of THE places to go here. It is a large Mexican restaurant located on Sand Lake (we live off of this lake). The views are amazing and you can opt to sit inside or out. They have music just about every single night of the week. We stopped in on a Tuesday around 9pm and the place was packed. Tuesday night is all you can eat tacos. They also make killer margaritas (a pitcher is about $24).                                                                                                         On

How it all started

So this is a little late but we wanted to share how this journey began. Tod was very unhappy at his job in private practice as an intellectual property attorney. He had desired an in-house council position for a very long time and a position at Siemens finally came along. In the early spring of 2015, we decided to take a leap of faith and accept the position in Orlando leaving everything else behind...the house, our families, everything that was comfortable in our lives. We have had many firsts this year....a brand new 3rd baby, a new job, a new state and new school. Change is always good although it's never easy. This video made by our son (with a lot of  the baby in the middle) speaks volumes.

Layering?

Layering is on trend. You may see a lot of necklace layering these days. It's such a cool, easy breezy look that is easy to accomplish everyday. Here are some of my favorite go to pieces. The arrow and my engravable disc  monogrammed with my initials are a must when it comes to layering my delicate pieces!                                                                    This combo is also a favorite of celebrities!                                                                                  I love to layer my engravable disc with anything from the delicate arrow to a statement piece.                                       An engravable piece is unique to you. Such a fabulous piece for your jewelry wardrobe! Who can afford to change their clothing wardrobe every season? Not always easy...but adding a few accessory pieces changes the look of jeans and a t-shirt OR a cocktail dress.
