Eating in California might just be the best experience you’ve ever had on your family vacation. If it’s ever worth the money spent on eating out – California would be the place!

FlipBelt Review
Hey guys!
Since this week started off so awesomely amazing and threw all my blogging schedule off, this is not your usual Workout Wednesday post, BUT – it is fitness related.
Gonna drop some knowledge on you today 🙂
Have you ever experienced the dilemma before going for a run/grocery shopping/picking up the kids/to the gym of whether or not you should bring your purse with you, or in case of workouts – what to do with all this stuff you need (car/house keys, phone, etc..) once you get to the gym?
Don’t answer, we all did. 🙂
Well, I got a solution for you – FlipBelt.

FitBloggin’ 14: Tastes and Sights of Savannah
Hey guys! How was Monday?
I was dragging after the FitBloggin’ weekend. Lil’ better today, but still catching up on my sleep and getting back to my routine.
So! As you may have noticed, yesterday’s brief overview of the whole experience did not touch the two exciting parts of the trip to Savannah – food and sights 🙂
Since it is Tasty Tuesday, I’m going to tell you what I ate in Savannah as well is what I saw.
If you get to Savannah by air, here’s what you see when you get to the airport:
yep, that is INSIDE the airport
Most of the meals were provided so we had just a few chances to go and explore Savannah and eat out. Here’s a glance at our typical breakfast:
fruit, eggs, sausage, potatoes and a muffin
On the first night, Jennifer and I decided to eat at the hotel we were staying at (Hyatt Regency Savannah) at their Lounge called “Windows”
I ordered a crab cake sandwich looking forward to tasting the delicious fresh crab in it!
Mmmmmm
Well, that crab cake was HOT! It was so spicy I could not eat it. Thankfully Jennifer came to my rescue and we swapped halves of our sandwiches. The lounge was so nice as to give us 50% off that crab cake sandwich since I didn’t like it.
After dinner we headed out for the Ghost Tour with Peg Leg Ron and his shipmate Jacob 🙂 It was a ghost tour in a real hearse!

I didn’t take many pictures on the tour. I mean I did but none of them really turned out. Mysterious, isn’t it? 🙂
except this one pic of this spooky house!
But don’t you think Savannah is all that spooky and dark. It’s not. It is a very beautiful place – full of history and beautiful places to see and go to.

But back to the food….
FitBloggin’ 14 was sponsored by many yummy brands 🙂
California Almonds had a whole snack bar set up for us to use!
California Avocado Commission made THE BEST blueberry muffins ever!
Run Disney provided lunch one of the days while presenting to all the runners in the audience 🙂
We also had a chance to explore Savannah and grab some food outside of the conference venue, so Jennifer and I went wondering around and found this:
Pralines from River Street Sweets
Remember I got a Foodie Penpals box from Tiffani with a bear claw from this store in Charlston? Yep, that was the same chain and their sweets are ahhhhhh-mazing! They deliver, you know? 🙂
On Saturday we had dinner to ourselves (not arranged) so we ventured out to Ruan Thai Cuisine where I had this delicious reminder of my days in Thailand:
Fried rice with scallops. YUM!
All in all, guys – I am in love with Savannah! Despite the heat and humidity – I’m ready to go back TODAY!
Now link it up! Share your recipes or any food related posts below. Nothing to share? Tell your friends!
Take care and talk to you soon!

Five on Friday
Hello, my friends! How have you been this week?
Hope you’re doing well on this beautiful day!
Today I am sharing the things I’m loving lately/great things happening in my life/exciting news – Five on Friday.
Ready?
{{ONE}} Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary and Trip to NYC!
I will post the trip recap some time this week. This One of Five is about this awesome guy I met years ago and married 2 years ago – best “YES” I ever said!
He is my best friend, my one and only and I am SO lucky to have such a wonderful man by my side!
{{TWO}} Mantra Bands!
Aren’t they awesome?
My Mantra Band
I found these online and I was obsessed ever since. Head over to the Mantra Band and order your own to help you stay motivated on your fitness or any other journey!
See how it motivated me? 🙂
{{THREE}} My latest kitchen gadget – crock pot!
My new crock pot
Now this is a blessing for a family of 4 where both mom and dad work full time. I’m sure you know, but I just love saying it – throw the ingredients in, turn on, leave for work, come back to a delicious hot meal – that is what a crock pot is and I can’t believe it took me so long to get one.
Look at these wonderful things you can make in a crock pot:
Home made crock pot split pea soup
Home made crock pot chili
if you add too much water to it like I did – you get soup instead of the stew, which is not too bad either
{{FOUR}} My upcoming trip to Russia in November!!!
Super excited about it! I haven’t seen my family and friends for 2 long years!!!!
Got tickets in my pocket – leaving on November 27 and coming back on December 11. 2 weeks with my dearest ones! CAN’T WAIT!
{{FIVE}} Overnight Oats
Gotta love those! Easy and quick breakfast for week days. Just combine oats, almond milk and chia/flax seeds in a jar and refrigerate!
Take out of the fridge in the morning, heat up, add fruit, nuts, etc.. and your healthy breakfast is ready!
Your turn!

NYC Adventures – Part I
Hello, friends!
As I promised, here’s the trip to NYC recap for you with lots of pictures!
We took Friday off and got on the train in Harrisburg, PA on Thursday night. It was my second time in NYC, and both times we took the train – you can relax for 3.5 hours and don’t have to worry about parking (which is pretty expensive) and traffic in New York. I am like Sheldon Cooper – big fan of trains. When I was little my grandparents would take me and my brother on vacations/to visit relatives and we’d always travel by train. I have a fascination and love for trains ever since then. And trains these days are pretty awesome – WiFi and all 🙂Continue Reading
