I wasn’t terribly hungry at the time so for my meal I opted for a bowl of French Onion soup and a wedge salad (I have a slight addiction), and honestly both were quite delicious. The soup had a wonderful flavor and was full of tasty bread.

French Onion Soup

Wedge Salad

The one thing that wasn’t the greatest part of the experience was the service. I think our server might’ve been sick at the time, and he wasn’t very attentive or really even that friendly. I definitely expected more out of that aspect given the upscale dining and atmosphere.

Thinking about heading to KRES sometime soon for a nice meal? Take a peek at KRES’s menu before you go. I warn you, though, it will make you hungry!

Have you ever dined at KRES Chophouse? We’d love to hear about your experience.

Needless to say I was pretty stoked when I saw an e-mail come my way about the February 23rd show.

One of the interesting things about this particular Velvet Sessions, is The Lemonheads are going to perform each track from their cult classic “It’s A Shame About Ray” from start to finish. Suh-weet!

This is one of the album’s more well-known tracks:

As you know tickets are $29 in advance online, and $35 at the door. There are also VIP packages available for $50 (includes special viewing area and private bar). For additional details and to purchase tickets visit VelvetSessions.com.

The Park

Walking up to the admissions area guests are faced with this iconic image:

Sure, I’d seen that before. No biggie. I was not at all prepared, however, for what I was about to see once I walked through the front gates:

I mean, can you even get over the massive amount of gators? They’re everywhere. Small ones. Big ones. Gigantic ones! Out. Of. Control!

The Zip Line

So after being in much awe of these animals living basically in our backyard, we headed over to get suited-up and safety training for the Zip Line. We really, really wanted to take some photos and video while on the one-hour plus excursion, but for obvious reasons we couldn’t take our cameras. Here’s a look at what you can expect:

And here’s your Pulse team all suited-up and ready to go! Hawt, right? We’re strongly thinking about making this our everyday wardrobe.

You can get a whole lotta more info on the Gatorland Screamin’ Gator Zip Line.

I have to say we truly had a blast finally seeing what this Central Florida treasure is all about. We highly recommend if you’re looking for something a little different to do one of these upcoming weekends.

In the interest of full disclosure, Gatorland was kind enough to provide us with complimentary experiences of the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line.

Personally, I’m really looking forward to seeing Kelly Clarkson (the best American Idol winner, in my opinion) as well as Cyndi Lauper (you know we’re big fans)! Are you excited to see any of these concerts this year?

Here’s hoping Miss Clarkson will perform her latest single:



The first date Saturday, February 11th. More information and the complete line-up of artists can be found on Universal Orlando’s website.

The morning began with a treat thanks to The Daily City: waffles (via @ Melissa’s Chicken & Waffles)! Much needed at 6:15am, for sure! Then after everyone licked their fingers in delight, we all checked in and got the download about WESH 2 by way of Digital Manager @gabetrav and Team.

One of highlights of the morning, for sure, was getting an opportunity to watch a live broadcast of the news. Fascinating! Thanks to the Wesh 2 Crew for being so curtious:

• Jason Guy
• Syan Rhodes
• Kimberly Williams
• Amy Sweezey
• Aixa Diaz

Thanks, WESH, for this great experience! It’s much appreciated.
