Our Minimoon

 
What better way to start our minimoon than a yummy breakfast at the Wafffle House. Now get ready I will warn you there are a ton of pictures in this post but I wanted to document ever second.
 
After breakfast and a few errands we finally got on the road and headed South. I kicked up my legs and relaxed while the hubby jammed out to music and drove.

It takes about 5 hours to get to my families beach house so I of course packed some snacks.
 
I have had the quinoa chips before but never the bbq flavor. They are my new favorite. You can have around 30 chips for 130 calories.

 
Finally after listening to some of our favorite songs, singing at the top of our lungs, stopping for ice cream at diary queen, trying to nap, singing some more, stopping again, we finally saw our sign!!

Once we got to the house we got ready and headed out the door for dinner.
(Our selfies always make me laugh)


 
We headed to Sliders and I loved that they used mason jars for their glasses. That is basically all we have a home.

 
The next day we woke up to pretty much a perfect day. I could walk out on this front
every morning.

 
The husband and I are perfect for each other, know how I know this? As soon as we wake up all we want is a good breakfast.
We had just that at Miss Carolynns.
The husband was so happy with his breakfast. It consisted of a crab omelet. Seafood for breakfast? He is a happy camper!
 
I had a ham and veggie omelet with a side of jelly wheat toast. Honestly this omelet is on my top 5 list and I eat lots of omelets.


 
After breakfast we headed down to the farmers market and looked around for a little while.


 
My favorite booths were the ones with local fruits and veggies.

 
The lemonade stand always look refreshing though because believe me it is hot out there.

 
After we poured sweat at the farmers market all we wanted to do it head to the beach.
Once I got there I of course had to get something delicious and chilly.

 
After our noses started turning red and we found ourselves exhausted we decided to pack up and head back to the house for a nap. Aren't naps at the beach the best!!!
 
Look at my stud! 

 
After our nap we were both craving something sweet so we headed downtown to the ice cream parlor.
As soon as you walk in, it is like sugar kicks you in the face. It is heavenly.

 
All of the fudges were so tempting.

 
And I wont even start with the rock candy. That was my favorite as a kid.

 
After my husband got his ice cream we headed down to the yogurt shop. This is my favorite place ever.
 
 
We then decided it was perfect weather for some mini golf.

 
We couldn't believe we had never played mini golf together. This is definitely something we will be doing more often.

 
He says he won but I disagree. I am pretty awesome at mini golf but I am pretty sure I am biased.


 
After playing we worked up quite an appetite. So we went across the street to a Japanese Steakhouse.
We were pretty gross from playing mini golf because the heat was no joke but we were too hungry to care.


 
I love these places. Not only are they delicious but you get a show with your meal.


 
But the best part of course is digging in when you get everything. This also means you probably will be having leftovers around midnight and breakfast the next morning.

 
Once our bellies were stuffed we headed back to the house and ended the night with a game of twister and a movie.

 
The next day we ended our minimoon with this meal!!

 
I am not big on burgers and fries but what I had was just plain amazing.
 
For my burger I had a teriyaki turkey burger 

 
and of course I had to have some sweet potato fries.

 
Every second of this minimoon is exactly what we needed. Relaxation with just each other and of course some good food and sun.
 
Trips must come to an end though,
but I am always happy to head home with the love of my life.

This Post Will Make You Drool!

When I think back on my childhood and some of my favorite memories it would have to be Little Caesars  night. My mom would pick up a couple of pizzas and we just loved it. I am pretty sure as soon as we finished eating we rushed to the living room to watch Funniest Home Videos. This normally turned into a wrestling match.I mean really pizza, funny videos, and trying to pen your dad? Perfect night!(Maybe my brothers will be able to pen him one day)
But as you get older you learn you can't just sit around and eat Little Ceasers Pizza all the time. I mean sure it's okay every once in a while but the way I like pizza....cant do it. SOOOO I found a way to have my cake and eat it too?
 
Now I am going to introduce you to...
 
Your Pie 
 
It has been the answers to all my pizza prayers.
 
 
When you walk in it is kind of like a Moe's but for pizza!! What...yes it's a pizza bar. You can build your own pizza. When you walk up you have your choice white, wheat or gluten free. I always choose wheat because well it has less calories.

 
Now back to your yummy pizza....After you choose your crust you get to choose all of your toppings. I never really knew how many they had until I took a girlfriend from work last week and she asked how everything worked. The owner said they had like over 43 toppings...yes 43 toppings. That is just crazy, anything you could think of putting on a pizza they had. (Although I didn't see sardines, thank goodness) 

Now enough about their food... just for a second.
Everywhere you look they have TV's on the sports channel. My luck when we were there they had  a special on the AUBURN Tigers. WAAR EAGLEEEEE!!!!!!!
That is where my parents met and obviously fell madly in love (gross) so I guess I have it in my blood. Anyways, sorry I got distracted but I do love me some Auburn Tigers.  (So ready for football season...Alabama WATCH out).. Moving on,

 
The also HAVE GELATO!
All the different flavors look pretty amazing right? Well I can tell you I have tried most of them (not at the same time) and they are all heavenly.   
 
 
Now let's go back to the pizza.
 
This pizza is not like anything you have ever had.
For me I had never been to a pizza place where they have healthy options.
 
This was my amazingling awesome pizza.
 
Wheat crust
light marinara sauce
low fat mozzarella cheese
spinach
broccoli
sun dried tomatoes
grilled chicken
low fat mozzarella cheese
light parm cheese
red crushed pepper

 
I know you are drowling now!!


 
Now that I have typed up this post I believe I will head over to Your Pie for lunch today!
