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 get the same vitamins there- they’re just so cheap! I only wish they came in bigger containers so I didn’t have to get them so often ;)
I love target and those dishes I just saw when I was at home and absolutely loved!! I’m going to hope they go on clearance and get even cheaper! I used to work at Carrabba’s and in fact, it was my first job at 16. Definitely good food but a bit pricey. But I got half off everything so it wasn’t so bad!! What a neat trail. I wish more trails had fun things around them such as workout spots. Very nice post! Have a great day!!!
What a great workout! I love the various exercises they had throughout! And I concur, Target = best store ever! Stir fry looks amazing — and great that the chef was so accommodating!
Wow, your vacation looks (and sounds!) like so much fun!!
I *LOVE* Target, too! Ah, the simple pleasures in life. I forgot that Canada doesn’t have any Target stores… Well, guess I can never move there. ;-)
Fabulous day you had!
I love seeing you and Eric exercising together. Anytime we can incorporate our friends, loved ones or family in workouts is a treat in my eyes! It provides me extra energy and motivation.
Target is fun, I especially love the clearance clothing section. That sucks about the rental car, sorry. My car got hit twice in the parking lot when I lived in Florida, must be something about Florida drivers, hmmm.
Ah..Fort Lauderdale! That’s where I grew up! And yes, Target rocks!!! They have the most adorable..well, EVERYTHING!
Love your vacay posts! I feel like I am right there with ya! You also made me want stirfry in a bad way. haha!
Cute dress!
If you go back to Target, I recommend the Mossimo long and lean tanks. I have them in pretty much every color they come out with. I wear them under everything and even to work out in once in a while. Can’t beat the price!
You know that you are a super happy person when a visit to Target can make you that excited! I kinda get that way too and I have one minutes away! It is an amazing store and I did not realize that you did not have them in ON.
You guys look to be having a fabulous time and I am happy for you! Have a safe trip tomorrow!
That looks like such a fun day! I loooove your white dress by the way!
There is nothing I dislike more than an air salad! Glad the dinner salad was more fulfilling.
I love working out when I’m on vacation. I know other people think I’m crazy but it’s so relaxing when you have all the time in the world. I have the best workouts when I’m on vacation.
Target is my favorite store! I go in all the time to look around.
And so glad the chef was accommodating your needs.
I LOVE Target. Its so much fun – I could spend the whole day there and never run out of stuff to do.
Target is pretty awesome. Im suprised it hasnt made its way to Canada. We were just in Ft Lauderdale a few weeks ago, the weather was perfect. Hope you enjoy it!
dang girl, you have some self control. I am so impressed with your 1st ever target trip. I think I tried to buy the whole store the first time I went all by myself with my own money (and continue to keep buy more and more every time I go). I could live in Target!
buying* ah i hate bad spelling/grammar!
Target is amazing! Can’t believe you don’t have them in Canada, but now you know what you’re missing out on! Your vacation looks very relaxing so far! Cheers!
target is absolutely amazing…def a favorite of mine :-)
