Eight Days

By Estela - Weekly Bite, May 11, 2012 7:59 am

Mr. Weekly Bite & I just returned from eights days in Hawaii (sans kids). We hadn’t taken a vacation like this in a long time. We stayed in beautiful Ko Olina, ate delicious food, drank fresh coconut water, laid on the beach, got way too much sun, but most important, we got to spend quality time together :) . After a wonderful & relaxing eight days we are easing back into our regular routines. We enjoyed being in our little vacation bubble, but are very happy to return to our little girls :) .

LOCKED IN….

By Estela - Weekly Bite, August 25, 2010 12:45 pm

I ran a very sloshy 6 miles in the rain yesterday…

But the good news is the SUN IS SHINING today!!! This post is going to be a quick one so I can enjoy all that glorious sun!

Yesterday we spent 3 hours locked in…. You see, that’s what happens when the President decides to go shopping and eat lunch in the town your staying in. No one could leave or enter any store near him for three hours. We were starving and somehow managed to sneak in the back door of a restaurant. This is the scene of spectators watching the first family shop…

I enjoyed a Blue Moon while we waited for the President to leave….

The rest of the day was spent shopping. We went to watch “Eat Pray Love” but the line was fifty people deep when we got there :( Boo….

The shops here are AMAZING! And mighty pricey too! There’s nothing better than finding a top you absolutely love only to find out is cost $298!!! Umm…. Never mind… I will not be shopping in that store anymore…

As for now…. I’m off to enjoy the sunshine!! Yay!!

Tomorrow will be a very long travel day for me… so there will be no blogging.

See you all on Friday :) :)

Have a great Wednesday!

SKINNY’S FAT….

I’m not gonna lie… the weather here sucks :(

Its 65 degrees, super windy, and its been raining constantly. To make matters worse… its not gonna clear up until I leave :(

Oh well. On the bright side… I am on vacation, I’m not at home, and I can do whatever I want :)

Tim and I had lunch yesterday at Skinny’s Fat Sandwiches. Its a fun little sandwich shop right across the way from our B&B.

I loved their huge chalkboard menu wall! So cute!

I had the veggie & hummus wrap…

It was the best hummus wrap I’ve ever had!! They make the red pepper hummus fresh in the store. It has chunks of chickpeas in it too! It also had summer squash, zucchini, romaine, and pickles! It was mighty tasty :)

I couldn’t help but take pics of their ice cream menu! LOVE the descriptions!!! If I wasn’t so full from my wrap I would’ve ordered the Oreo Cookie Nookie!

I wonder if anyone’s ever ordered the “Oink?” I’d just love to see it!!

Being on a Kid-less vacation… there are some things Tim and I have been able to do that we haven’t done since before M was born.

  • Go on a 6 mile run together, and feel good that I can still keep up with him :)
  • Sleep in past 6:30 in the morning. Which for us is sleeping until 8… which feels like we’ve slept till 11.
  • Go to dinner at 8pm… then grab cocktails after…
  • Go to the movies!!! (This is our own fault… we could easily get a baby sitter to do this.) With the weather being so crummy we ventured out to the local movie theatre and saw “The Kid’s are Alright” with Annette Benning and Julianne Moore. It was a great movie!
  • We realize how much we miss our little munchkin :( All we do now is talk about her! We’re at a restaurant and see someone’s kid scream and throw food on the floor and all we do is just look at each other and realize how much we miss M. :( ‘Sigh’ The grass is always greener….

It’s another cold and rainy day here on the Vineyard. Our B&B has no gym (obviously) so I think I might brave the rain and go running. I foresee another movie in our future today. “Eat Pray Love” is playing today so we may go see that…

Question:

What do you do when you get rained out on vacation?

I need some suggestions :)

Have a great day!
