Epcot Food & Wine Festival

Finally a weekend at home. And, we were ready for Food and Wine festival at Epcot. October brought record-breaking temperatures to Orlando. I'm not talking frost. I'm talking 2 weeks of temps in the 90s with a heat index of over 100. Don't get me wrong. I don't miss cold. But, seriously? Getting in the car at 5pm and the temperature gauge reads 100 in October. Ugh. So, when a cold front moved in for the weekend of the Food and Wine Fest, we were most excited. However, we learned that when the temperature drops 50 degrees in 2 days, the body doesn't adjust so well.

We planned on practicing moderation this year. Last year's Food & Wine fest, we ate and drank our way around the world...twice. This year, we planned on taking our time. We had an amazing afternoon slowly working our way through. Until nightfall and we were too cold to go any further. Yes, too cold to eat when it was in the 50s (and, really windy - does that make a diff?)...we are Floridians, afterall (Mr. Chicago in the hooded sweatshirt proves this point)...
