Hello there :)
Day 2 in Naples…
Breakfast was a huge green monster…and then we were off to Super Target!
TARGET IS THE COOLEST STORE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I died and went to heaven. I’m going to need to go back at least twice more just to see everything!
My mom and I loved the girl’s bedroom decor…I was told that ‘I must have a girl!’ :mrgreen:
How cute would a child’s bathroom be with this stuff?!
Oh my gosh…their dishware section!! Words cannot describe how big my pupils got.
For the record, I took a lot more pictures…obviously! Unfortunately my blog will combust if I post all of them.
This is what I got: 3 plastic plates, 1 plastic bowl, B12 vits (super cheap here), Halle Berry’s new perfume (smells awesome, my mom and I both got one):
I can’t believe that is all I walked out with. I must go back so I can have time to try on clothes.
Eric’s only purchase (LAME!!) bahahah :mrgreen:
Then it was off to the Miromar Outlet– it is a huge outdoor outlet mall. And I mean huge…as in you live here your whole life and you might get to every store.
We stopped at Subway for lunch and I got a big salad.
We only made a dent in this outlet. None of us bought anything either.
When we got back to our rental car, we discovered that someone had hit the car and RUN. :(
We got home and I had a second lunch as that subway salad was AIR in my tummy…
- Eziekel wrap with hummus
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- Mary’s crackers + hummus + tomato sauce
Hit the spot!
Eric and I relaxed on the porch for a while and I did some writing. Then we decided to go for a run-bike!
It was amazing outside. Perfect temperature and blue skies.
All along the trails they have fitness stations to do different exercises.
I love running on vacation.
I also love having time to spend with Eric…we’ve been going mock speed for the past two years and it is nice to be able to just leave work behind for a while and not think about it.
We had been gone for over 1 hour and I got worried because we weren’t sure where we were for a few minutes. I asked the hubby if we were lost and he said NOPE! hahaha…he says that always of course. ;)
Picture below: 1 hour 5 minutes: I was saying to him, ARE WE LOST??? Need…water…!
But alas we made it and pulled in after 1 hour 12 minutes! I have no idea how many miles we covered but I ran quite speedy to keep up with Eric. The terrain is so flat here and I found it easier to run faster than usual.
Once home I had a banana to re fuel and lots of swamp water. Then it was time to get ready to go out for dinner. Eric and I were treating my stepdad to a belated birthday dinner at Carrabba’s. [He is a bit camera shy so don’t expect to see him on the blog!] ;)
I looked at the menu and there was one thing I could get that was vegan- a cheeseless veggie pizza, so I was good to go…or so I thought! When we got there we were told that they were OUT of pizza. Ummm…come again?!. Luckily the chef was very accommodating and made me a custom stir-fry. I had a salad to start (which was decent!) and 6.5 oz of Merlot.
Behold the biggest and most delicious stir-fry ever:
I cannot believe I ate it all. It was massive (the bowl was deep). I think I had about 400 servings of veggies in this dish (and probably 10 tablespoons of oil!). Everyone else loved their dishes too.
I’m still crazy full and it is midnight!
Tomorrow’s plan:
- Fort Lauderdale bound in AM
- Checking into motel
- Lunch: ????
- Afternoon: parasailing + beach stuff
- Dinner: ????
- Bars- Irish pubs
I am pretty sure the motel has wireless, so let’s hope it works…
Night!
I’ve never been to Target before but obvi I need to get there ASAP!! Those plates are sooo cute! Glad you’re having a great vacation :)
Really enjoying your vaction blog….thanks for sharing.
I so wish we had Target here! SOunds like you are having an amazing time!
I love it when restaurants are accommodating, I also love your dress! Looks gorgeous on you!
glad you’re having a great time in Florida.. Target is amazing.. you can’t walk in there and expect to not buy anything.. there’s always something to get..
So glad you loved Target, it’s one of my favorite stores! When I lived in Thailand for a year, I missed it so much and I sounded just as in awe as you do when I came back to the States.
You totally inspire me to go for a run!
YAY! I am sooo glad you loved Tar-jay! …and very surprised you came out with so little. Isn’t it so fun? Now I want to sniff Halle’s scent ; )
Lol, was that your first time in Target or something? I’ve never heard someone gush so much about it!
Your Florida pictures look wonderful! While you were enjoying the flat terrain of FL, I for the first time was enjoying the hilly terrain of Parry Sound. It was my first time there. I am from Buffalo, NY but was visiting a friend. It was all HILLS for my daily runs!! I loved the challenge!
I also got to check out Fresh quickly before I hoped back on the bus for Buffalo. After reading about it here I couldn’t wait to try it. I got a delicious salad !! Thanks for writing about it!
I LOVE target, they have amazing products. Glad you got to enjoy it and hope you make there again before you leave. :O)
See you soon.
LOVE the Miromar outlets!!! My ex-boyfriend’s family had a house in Florida and I went there a couple of summers in a row.
I’m in Florida for vacation right now too!! I’m in Port Charlotte and heading to Orlando tomorrow. I so badly want to go to the meet-up on Friday but can’t :( :( :( I’ll miss you!!
Your vacation posts are making me feel like I’m on vacation! I love it!
I don’t know if there is a World Market near you in Florida, but you HAVE to check one out if spotted. I am obsessed with all of their foodie items – dishes, wine + beer, food. Love.
