Happy Friday!!
I survived my continuing education course this morning. The speaker was actually pretty good, so it wasn’t totally unbearable! Plus, I had my oats and Love Grown Granola to save me. :)

Today when I got home, I was completely tanked. I don’t know why, but ever since last night I have felt like my body is full of lead. I came home and ate lunch and then sacked out on the couch. I think I slept for a good hour and a half. So not like me to take naps, but obviously I needed it.
I didn’t go to the wedding rehearsal tonight with Luvy because I feel super weak and a bit dizzy. I didn’t think being out in the heat would help me out much. I have been drinking my Fitmixer aminos to help me feel better! Actually, when I told Luvy how I was feeling he immediately said… drink your aminos! :) He loves the Fitmixer too!
Since I’m feeling off, I’m just resting and taking it easy. I think that is something we need to do more for ourselves!
Okay enough about me being a big whiney baby… :) I hope you guys aren’t sick of hearing about my Siesta Key vacation yet…. because I’m not done talking about it! Seriously, can I go back already??
When Luvy and I go down, we usually stay in the same condo every year. However, we decided to go down last minute this year, and our condo was already taken!! Say it ain’t so!! I was so upset.
After some looking around, Luvy found The Banana Bay Club.

Luvy e-mailed them, and Jimmy was super quick to respond to us. He ended up giving us an incredible deal. when we got there, we were supposed to be in Villa #3. We stayed there one night, but there was some plumming issues going on.
Instead of sending out a plummer, Jimmy asked us if we wanted to move to a different villa. He said that there were several open including the 3 bedroom Beach House. He said we could upgrade at no additional cost. Umm… heck yes!
So, Luvy and I ended up staying in the large and very spacious Beach House!

It has one “master” bedroom and 2 smaller bedrooms.



One bath.

A nice spacious living room.


A very nice kitchen. Even though I only made popcorn, sandwiches, yogurt, and oats in there.

Huge dining area. This space also doubled for Luvy’s study.


Plus, a great deck area. We usually ate breakfast out here…..when the mosquitos weren’t eating us up.

The only downfall is that you have to walk about 2 minutes to the beach. It was no big deal to us at all. I actually really liked the walk. Plus, you got to walk right beside this big guy:

Isn’t this place incredible??

It is actually privately owned by Gary from 1-800-ask-gary. Obviously he isn’t doing so shabby.
The only thing that I wish it had was a view of the ocean. It rained for a little while a couple of the days we were there, and it would have been nice to still been able to see the ocean. However, we were extremely happy with where we stayed!
When you go on vacation do you ever stay at the same place?
What are you all up to this weekend??
Gorgeous! Gorgeous!
Crazy about being so run down. I never nap either but sometimes I can really feel the call of an early night. Regardless, sometimes your body is just telling you to slow down.
It has been SO long since I have even gone a vacation so no, but I was listening to this thing on the radio this morning about how it is good to shake things up a bit to repeated routine so it was probably good for you all the way around.
Not too many demands on this weekend I think which is perfect for me!
My body was def telling me to slow down! I need to shake things up, because I tend to be a creature of habit!!
oh no! feel better lovely!
Thanks love!
It sounds like such a fun vacation! And a nice, simple house to top it all off
It was!
Sounds awesome! I hope you feel better soon … I kinda felt that way too today! Just so tired and I couldn’t make myself do anything!!! Sometimes a nap is the best thing!
I hope you are feeling better! The nap def helped!
I’ll upgrade to something like that any day!
for real!
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been feeling off – I hope you get better soon/enjoy some relaxation! The rooms look so beachy – love it!
Thanks Kailey!
I used to go to Mackinaw City, MI every summer when I was younger, and we always stayed at the same place. It was nice having those memories! Hope you feel better!
Thanks Emily! I am feeling some better today!
What an amazing place sweetie! WOW! Incredible!
I hope you are feeling better
