Vacation – Page 15

Chilly

I should have packed way more winter clothes than I did. I have a bunch of tank tops just begging to be worn, but instead I have to wear sweaters and jackets—together! But that’s ok. I can’t complain seeing as I left 10 inches of snow. So instead of laying on the beach, we went to the Edison/Ford Winter Estates. It was insightful and pretty cool. My favorite part was all the GIANT trees on the property. I havne’t seen the California Redwoods yet, so I can safely say these are the biggest trees I’ve seen. There may be a few like them in the Missouri Botanical Gardens (one of my favorite places), but not as many and in such amazing clusters.

And I found my new favorite quote:

There’s a way to do it…find it. -Thomas Edison

I wish I could cuddle with this little precious right about now.

Fresh Fish

You guys, I’ve eaten a fish sandwich everyday since we got to Florida with the exception of the day I got fish tacos instead. I just can’t get enough! And let me tell you, they keep getting better everyday!

I go through spurts of things I like to eat. Once I get on a kick, I want it EVERYDAY! When I was a kid I ate Honey Nut Cheerios everyday for about a year and a half. Then, I got totally sick of them and I don’t care if I never eat them again. Most things I don’t get to eat as much as I’d like, so there’s been nothing else like that.

Here are some foods I’ve been obsessed with:

Macaroni & Cheese (the frozen kind you bake in the oven.)
Fried Rice
Rooibos Tea
Fried Egg with spinach, sauteed red peppers, goat cheese, sweet potatoes and honey. YUM!
Chips and salsa with cream cheese
Spinach Ravioli
Soft pretzel with mustard & chocolate milk
Pop Tarts
Peach Ice Tea
Oatmeal Swirlers (did anyone else eat this!?!)

You get the idea. As I’m looking at all these, I realize how random they are. They’re not all in one family of food, like Italian or Mexican. They’re just items I find that I’m in love with eating. Hopefully I’ve given you some new meal/snack ideas. And if you live on the coast, go get a fresh fish sammy that is either blackened or bronzed! Ugh! So good!
