Life’s [not] a Beach
[*I had to add the “not” because it’s been an amazing weekend]
Hey hey hey 😀 Happy Sunday! How’s your morning going??
We’ve been having an incredible time just hanging out and spending time together.
Yesterday, we spent the morning walking on the beach:
and exploring 🙂
We found a lot of crazy-awesome-looking shells,
and a surprising amount of deceased crabs
and jellyfish.
Even though I’ve been stung by one… on the ta-ta.. and it hurt like a biotch (beach?)… I was still so sad!
After our beach excursion, the Pilot enjoyed a massage at the spa, while I got my “Om” on at MBody.
MBody is one of my all-time favorite yoga studios. It’s the Baptiste style of Power Vinyasa (lurve) and the instructors are hands-on – they’ll help you get into the postures more deeply. The icing on the cake is that the studio is right on the beach, so during savasana, they open the doors and you can hear the waves. It’s pretty much amazeballz.
For lunch, we met up with the lovely Lindsay and her hubby Ross for lunch at European Street Cafe.
European Street Cafe was the perfect mix of raw/healthy/vegetarian and meaty meals.
Raw crackers and cashew cheese:
on the same menu as kielbasa, bratwurst and man-wiches 🙂
We also shared a Mediterranean platter:
and for my entree, I rolled with the Raw Rueben.
It was HUGE <— TWSS,
so I saved half and ate it for a snack later 🙂 [Will be re-creating it this week, for sure]
The Pilot and I also shared this beauty for dessert and random chocolate snackage.
Afterwards, we spent the evening walking around the beach –the street One Ocean is on is full of little shops and clubs 🙂
Today, we’re going to grab some b-fast and get on the road to Valdosta. We’ll be there for a couple of nights until we leave for Tucson on Tuesday.
Have an amazing day and I’ll see ya laterrrrr <3
xoxo
Gina

Sounds like a lovely day!! Reading about your reunion with the Pilot has been one of the most exciting parts of my weekend!! Enjoy the rest of your time at the resort and safe travels back to Valdosta and Tuscon!
I too was stung on the boob by a jellyfish on our honeymoon in Jamaica. Not only are they evil but aparently they are pervs as well. Also it was not awkward at all that I spent the boatride back to shore rubbing under my bikini top…
hahah they are pervy 🙂
Wow…a raw reuben! Sounds delish. Enjoy the rest of your weekend Gina!!
Glad you and the Pilot had a great time at the beach. That reuben looks delicious! I can’t wait to see your version!
Love the sea salt Lindt – also my favorite with ALMOND BUTTER (Easter is coming soon, my dear!).
I wish we had a restaurant like that where I live. It would be the perfect date spot – kielbasa for the fiance and raw dippers for me! Have fun with your husband!
wait, they make a chocolate with almond butter?!? or do you dip the chocolate in almond butter?
Have you ever heard of the chocolate almond butter cups?! They are sooo good, I’ll take one of those over a reese’s any day.
chocolate almond butter cups! they SELL them? i’ve made them at home before but it’s always fun when someone else does the work 😉
Yep. They are made my a brand called Sunspire and they are AMAZING!
Sounds fantastic 🙂
Glad you are having a great weekend! You look so at peace in your pictures. It’s a great feeling.
best feeling in the world 🙂
Love that a menu can have awesome raw food and awesome non-raw food at the same time:)
Glad you are having a fabulous weekend! And that raw reuben looks good!
Your weekend sounds amazing, and you looks so happy! Not that you didn’t before. :p Raw reuben sounds amazing. I can’t wait for you to recreate it.
Aww, I’m so glad you two are having a fun and happy weekend 🙂 Enjoy what’s left of it!
congrats on having the Pilot home, and many thanks to him for his service to our country.
on a frivolous note, is that a jcrew dress you are wearing on the beach?? I’ve been eyeing something similar online, it looks adorbs!!
yup- j crew 🙂
That sounds like such a fabulous weekend!! Just from the energy in this post I can tell you’re absolutely elated and so happy right now. You totally deserve it 🙂
Ouch to the jellyfish sting : p

Sounds like you found the perfect restaurant!
I LOVE that flavor of Lindt. I have half a bar in the freezer right now just waiting for the perfect moment 😉 haha.

That yoga studio sounds fantastic! Nothing sounds more perfect than doing yoga while listening to waves.
I’m so happy you and the Pilot are enjoying your weekend! The weather looks absolutely beautiful!

sounds like you guys are having a much deserved amazing weekend! Makes me happy!!
thats so nice to hear you are just relaxing and enjoying some quality time together.
thats sad that there are dead crabs and jellyfish washed up.
I’d punch that jellyfish too, since i got stung by one in Mexico. they DO hurt like a biotch!
have a great day you guys!
Ahhhh, that beach looks incredible! Definitely a great way to spend some time with your hubby. 🙂
I’m totally intrigued by the raw rueben! I’ve had a few of the regular ones in my day, but I’d REALLY love to see your recreation at home…so I can recreate it too!
Oh Gina, it looks like you two are having just a wonderful time exploring, chilling, and being together! Which is exactly what you should be doing after all this time apart 🙂
So glad you got to do some beach, yoga, chocolate eating, and even a bloggie friend meetup.
Have a wonderful time in Fla til you make your way back to V-Town and then AZ. Safe travels sweetie!
🙂
wow I’ve always wanted to take a yoga class on the beach! when I am at the beach, I’ll lead whoever is with me every morning on the beach, but it would be so nice to pass on that responsibility!
You couldnt have had a more perfect weekend! Looks & sounds awesome. I’m very curious about that sandwich.
I know it’s probably weird because I don’t know you, but I am so very happy that the Pilot is back and you two are together! You are both glowing 🙂
That yoga practically on the beach sounds aaaaammmmzzzing!!! 🙂 Have a fun day!
What a gorg beach!! I love raw food, and cashew cheese:) I got my fill of cashews yesterday though with Bressert Kale Chips!
Have you tried Chocolove Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Almonds? Incredibly amazeballs. Lurve lurve luuuuuuuurve.
You two look great, enjoy your second honeymoon!
Oh ya and you can get Chocolove at Whole Paycheck. I can never eat plain chocolate again after this bar, it’s that good.
How cute! I bet he is in seventh heaven. He definitely deserves his days at the beach 🙂
Looks like you two are having an amazing time– keep it up! 🙂
What was inside of the vegan reuban?
Just cabbage and tomatoes; at any rate,
it looks so yum.
LOVING your jcrew dress. Perfect for the beach. So happy the two of y’all had a great weekend!
thanks girl!
I can’t help but smile while I’m reading these posts from the last couple of days!!!

So I was catching up on your blog posts this morning and found myself being incredibly happy that the pilot is back! I was having a crap-tacular morning and am now smiling because of these posts and how happy you both look!
Its a testiment to how ppl can touch you in the blog world 🙂
