Happy Monday! Today was my first day back to school post-spring break. Bummer. The good news is that I’m halfway through the semester. Huzzah!

Here are some vacation eats:

dinnerRoom service! Veggie skewers with pita chips and black bean hummus, and an Asian chicken salad with ginger dressing. The best part of this dinner was definitely the pita chips + hummus.

eatinginbedI had to include this one… my mom ate her room service meal sitting cross legged in her bed like a little kid. Too funny.

postcardinnDinner from PCI Bar & Grill. I got collard greens, corn on the cob, and herb roasted chicken. I loved that my drink came in a mason jar. Very cute.

Other (non-vacation) eats:

sugarcookiesJimmy’s younger brother and I baked homemade sugar cookies with vanilla butter cream frosting. I’m pretty close with Jimmy’s brother because we’re actually closer in age than Jimmy and I lol. Awkward life.

suagrcookiesMore sugar cookies. I need to get a life.

puppychowI made a big batch of puppy chow and gave some to Jimmy (with a little note… and yes, my nickname is Stitch…) after I got home from Florida.

I have two recipes to share, but those will come in another post!

Time for more vacation photos! I love looking back on these pictures because I feel happy all over again remembering the many laughs, smiles, and conversations that my mom and I enjoyed together while in Florida.

Without further ado… more pictures!

paddleboating2Paddle boating early in the morning in 50 degree weather around the resort. This was the thing that my mom and I did that she was most excited about. She’s so goofy!

resortThe front of the resort and the lobby. I loved seeing the fake palm trees every time I walked through the lobby. I think I need a fake palm tree in my bedroom.

manicuresBecause the weather wasn’t so great for swimming in the ocean, we got manicures together instead! The woman who did my nails guessed I was 15-years-old. She was only five years off, lol.
