Siesta Sunday

Hey loves!

Lindsay guessed it… we are in Siesta Key!  

I have a love affair with Siesta Key.  I don’t know why I love it so much here.  The first year Luvy and I came here, we weren’t here for 24 hours before my daddy called to tell me that my grandmother had unexpectedly passed away.  You would think after that, I would have a bad feeling towards this place.  We came back the next year because we had a credit with the place we were staying, and I fell even more in love with Siesta Key.

I love that the sand is powder fine and solid white.  It doesn’t burn your feet, and it dusts right off.

I also love the healthy culture that Sarasota and Siesta Key have!

This morning, Luvy and I drank some coffee before heading up to the Siesta Key farmer’s market!  It was so fun.

Right when we walked in, this sweet lady pulled us over and told us about her green tea.  I LOVE tea, so I was all about it.  It is Matcha green tea, so you get extra antioxidants and other benefits.  I liked it, but I was after one thing…

PEACHES!  These were sweet Georgia peaches, and they were the star of our breakfast this morning.

We had breakfast by the pool area this morning.  After breakfast, Luvy and I read our devotional.  I even read him some of my Soul Detox that I’m doing with the SheReadsTruth ladies!

Tonight we went to dinner at Mi Pueblo.  It is a Mexican restaurant here in Sarasota that features a vegan and raw menu.  Everything there is extremely fresh!

Luvy got traditional Mexican, while I got the Tacos de Paz.

It was lime marinated kale with spicy ground Brazil Nuts, guac, pico de gallo, and sunflower seed cream served with a side of living veggie rice.

It was delicious!  I also ate some of Luvy’s rice and beans.  They don’t use lard in their beans!!  Score!

Now we are off to continue our Sunday siesta!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Tell me what you all did this weekend… and go!

We Made It!

We are here!

I have missed you guys.  I was only away for a day and I feel so out of the loop!  A million thanks to sweet Ashley for her guest post!

Luvy and I road tripped to TN yesterday.  We got to see Daddy for a little bit last night before heading out this morning.

This morning, we caught a plane from Knoxville to Florida.  

It was a bit cool when we left Tennessee, but we were greeted by the sun and heat in Florida.  Ahhhhh…. I already feel more relaxed.  We had a bit of a drive to our desination, so we stopped right outside of the Orlando airport to eat at Sweet Tomatoes.

Luvy and I had never eaten there before, but it was really good.  I was impressed with the salad bar.

I got a big salad, plus gluten free veggie soup and a sweet potato!  

Luvy got all kinds of goodies.  We got our bellies happy then hit the road again!

Once we started getting closer, I started getting excited.

Very excited.  Lol… 

I have no shame.  :)  

We are now all checked into our little condo.  I could get used to having this as my scenery everyday.  

We also have “friends” that live outside.  I do not like our friends.  If one runs across my foot or worse… cuddles up with me on my chair, I will scream.  

These guys are EVERYWHERE!

However, I’ll take it.  After all, this is my view for the next few days!  We are off to my FAVORITE restaurant here.

Has anyone guessed where I am yet???  (Mom- don’t answer that… it isn’t fair!  :) )

Where is your favorite get-away spot?
