A peach in the desert
Look who’s here 🙂
My good friend Hayley from Hotlanta, in town for baby shower weekend!
I was so excited that she said she’d be able to make it and spend the weekend with us. In Valdosta, she and her husband were our neighbors, and Hayley and I spent many days out by the pool, reading trashy gossip magazines, chatting, and vino nights.
Before I went to pick her up from the airport, I took an AMAZING LaBlast class from Louis Van Amstel, since he was teaching at the resort where I work. It was just as incredible as ever- he has incredible energy, and I love the fact that he says things that we would never be able to say (shake your a$$!!!!!). It was a LaBlast, for sure.
On the way to the airport, I stopped to say hi to the madre, and she had baked some gluten-free carrot cake cupcakes.
I was happy to be a taste-tester:
Good stuff.
Bella and I picked Hayley up, and then we caught up over lunch at Renee’s Organic Oven, while Bella chilled at our feet on the patio.
Came back to the casa, chilled and watched some TV, then went to La Encantada to walk around and shop.
Happy hour at Armitage:
[Nothing like a stiff mocktail]
and then the Pilot met us for dinner at Blanco.
We shared multiple bowls for chips and salsa,
and for my entree, I rolled with the fish tacos, veggies instead of rice.
A fabulous night with fabulous company <3
We’re going to watch a movie and then crash- enjoy your evening!
xoxo
Gina

Yumm! Were those muffins inspired by your little Bro’s gluten free baking cheffer classes? It looks like you had an awesome day girl!
how adorable you look pregnant! makes me excited to do it all over again (in a few years!!)…and don’t you love mocktails? at least they taste better without the alcohol 🙂

I craved alcohol SO badly when I was pregnant with Henry…mocktails were my saving grace.
I’m so jealous of your Blanco visit! I love that place and miss it so much!

We went out for dinner last night to a great Indian restaurant, it was so cool. We went with another couple, and the one is pregnant. I think there has been something in the water!!
INDIAN!!! how was it?!
there’s definitely something in the water 😉
I love when great friends come in from out of town. It almost feels like a vacation for both because you rarely get to see each other. Have fun at your baby shower!
thank you- have a great weekend!
The veggies that came with your taco look way more delicious than plain ol’ rice. Yum!
totally agree- they were awesome, too
I’m starting the Schweaty November workout this week! Can’t wait!! (:
