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 can’t believe I have never been to a Target … I totally have to check one out next time I am in the US.

Hey. I’m not sure where you are going in Ft. Lauderdale. But if you need a casual lunch there is a GREAT soup/salad buffet in Plantation called Sweet Tomatoes. Everything is homemade and super yummy.
I’ve been to those outlets and they are HUGE!
You look so pretty in your white dress!!
I agree, you’ve got to check out Sublime if you’re going to Fort Lauderdale. You won’t regret it; they have delicious vegan fare! Yum, I wish I were going!!
P.S.– Get the frito misto!
And now you understand the magic that is Target… you just CANT go in there and come out empty-handed. LOVE their dishes too! Cute and cheap!
What fun, what fun! You totally ROCK that white dress, too!!!
I really appreciate vacation time with my hubs, too – it’s so rare to spend slow-down time together, that when we do on vacation, I NEVER WANT IT TO END. EVER.
Never been to Florida. Me likey! :)
Hope you’re able to find more accommodating eats these next days! Two lunches is sometimes frustrating (I find).
Cheerio! :)
Your white dress is beautiful :) Have so much fun!
I love that white dress!!! It is gorgeous on you! :)
Glad day 2 was another great one. It sure looked amazing. Who can beat a fun run, shopping, and a delicious dinner with loved ones? :)
Looks like you are having an amazing time. I have never been to Target either! Looks like I need to take a road trip to the states. You look lovley in your white sun dress. Love your blog!
Hi!! I’m catching up! I had TEN posts from you in my reader!! First and foremost, I still cannot get over that big, crunchy grass in Florida! Your pics all seem so “other-worldly” compared to the grossness that is New Brunswick now – cold, snow, sleet, slush. Ick.
I love running on vacation too – one of my favourite activities to do when away because I love the scenery :)
I love that white dress. Gorgeous!
TARGET!!! The only way I can go in there safely is if I have an appointment–or somewhere to be–one hour later, otherwise I’d spend my life savings on their amazing stuff. Funny story: my sister did a stint of overnight stock work at Target while she was in college and she actually had to quit because it was too hard NOT to spend half her paycheck in there!
My new sister-in-law just moved to the states from Canada to marry my brother and Target is her favorite thing about America (besides my brother of course).
i love hitting up target during trips to the states! i usually leave with as much greek yogurt as i can get my paws on and a cheap jug of protein powder. and a cute top. or 17 cute tops.
you + that white dress = stunning!
Oh, another Jayme! I didn’t think there were others spelled like me :) I’m heading to Naples next weekend and cannot wait! I’m glad you’re enjoying your trip!!
Oh I LOVE Target too! It’s tough living so close to one though! Lot’s of money lost to Target! I love all your pictures! Great job on your post. Looks like you guys are having a great time in Florida. Keep it up!
I love the dishes at Target. I usually always buy a new one when I go.
I absolutely love Target too, but it’s probably for the better that you don’t have one near you- I can spend SO much money there without even realizing it. Sure a lot of the stuff is cheaper, but some of it I may not buy otherwise :)
Looks like you are having a great time, can’t wait to see your adventures in Fort Lauderdale!
Glad you’re having a good trip. You’re looking beachy!
I love Target so much, can’t ever leave there without a ton of stuff.
Sorry about the car :(
