RUN
This week, we turn our attention to the final 5K in RunDisney summer virtual series celebrating the Lion King. This month’s virtual celebrates the 2019 “Reimagined Classic” film version of the story. We talk about running this final race on Walt Disney World property at Coronado Springs Resort. It was a great experience and a beautiful setting for us to earn this beautiful medal! We even got a character stop, too!
EAT
We have heard amazing things about the breakfast at Kona Cafe at The Polynesian Resort. We were able to snag a reservation this trip to see what the famous Tonga Toast was all about. But we were also able to sample a hidden plant-based gem in the Loco Moco. In addition, we got some great side dishes, too!
DRINK
Kona Cafe has great beverages at breakfast, too! Dana sampled the Freshly Brewed Joffrey's Coffee™ Hawaiian Kona Maragogype Press Pot. Aimee talks about the flavorful Wasabi Bloody Mary. Whether going for an alcoholic or non-alcoholic option, they are satisfying options!
THAT’S A WRAP!
Don’t forget the virtual race that is near and dear to our hearts that we talked about last week! . We Love Truckers (Rob Nadeau Memorial) Virtual Race. It is a virtual race of a variety of distances honoring the life of one of our own lost too soon, Rob Nadeau. It supports organizations that he wanted to highlight and help, St. Christopher's Trucker Relief Fund and Koch Trucking. These organizations work to support and show appreciation for many Truck Drivers across the United States. We will be running our miles during Truck Driver Appreciation Week (September 12 - September 18), which culminates in Rob’s birthday on the 18th.
