We were awoken to a “tap tap tap” at the door this morning. At 8 O’clock and still asleep!
It was Andrew with two coffees claiming we “needed to get our bowels moving.” Ha!
I groggily sipped down some OJ that he retrieved from the breakfast room as well. I am not feeling well this morning!! BLAH WINE!
We are lucky to be staying at a really neat Residence Inn! It’s a complex of suites fit with full-size kitchens. Not sure we’ll be cooking any meals here, but it sure was handy to be able to assemble breakfast on the spot and eat on a plate
My bread plate was incredible! Whole Grain Goodness from Great Harvest Charlotte topped with a mashed banana, Nuttzo blobs and Pear Fig jam (which says “refrigerate after opening” but since there’s only a little bit left I just brought it anyways – although we DO have a refrigerator!)
Blah hotel coffee
We’re going to do a bootcamp of sorts after we digest to get some activity. There are tennis courts here and we might run some laps around the complex with the cousins.
The wedding is going to be at an amazing cliffside chapel about an hour away – we’re departing around 11:30 and the ceremony is at 1:30. I have already been briefed on the Bourbon Pecan wedding cake!!

I love fig jam so I’d love to try the pear fig! And the wedding cake to come sounds incredible!
I love that your brought your own breakfast- way to be prepared! I cannot wait to see a picture of bourbon pecan wedding cake, either!
That wedding cake sounds amazing!! Have a wonderful time!
Great breakfast! and the bootcamp idea sounds so fun – I once tried to do a bootcamp..the rain and mud made it near impossible!
Have a lovely time today
Peanut Nuttzo! I’m going to buy it soon.
Bourbon Pecan? MMM! Hope it’s a beautiful day for you!
I hope you feel better after that breakfast! Getting food in my belly always helps me to get over the feeling of having had too much to drink the night before.
bourbon pecan wedding cake?! i want to come!
Hotel coffee is rarely anything but “blah”, sadly! But hey, if it gets the bowels moving
*laughs*
Holy delicious wedding cake – can I join you for the cake?
Haha!
Hope ya feel better Kath!
Too bad all hotels don’t have full kitchens. When I travel, I usually bring food and water for convenience, to save money, and to have healthier options. That wedding cake sounds dangerous!
Bourbon Pecan…bless them haha
Have fun at your wedding! Hope the weather is beautiful
I’ve never thought to mush bananas and put it on top of toast! Omg thanks for this! And too think, before I started reading your blog I never ate oatmeal!! (gasp!)
enjoy…
Have a great time at the wedding. I love hearing about southern traditions, like drinking Maker’s Mark and eating Bourban Pecan wedding cake. New England is so different, which makes me want to take a trip to some southern states.
I love staying at places like the Residence Inn. We stayed at one in Quebec the last time we went skiing, which would have been perfect for bringing our own breakfast and lunch supplies. (But we were on a road trip and didn’t plan ahead. Next time.)
Bad coffee is not the best way to start the day. The cake sounds amazing.
Bourbon pecan cake sounds amazing — I can’t wait to see the pictures.
Enjoy the wedding!
I can’t wait to see photos of the wedding! I love that your bro-in-law brought you coffee, so sweet! Oh, and that bfast looks quite delicious for hotel room eating!
Hotel coffee is awful… but at least you have fig jam! The wedding cake sounds incredible… have fun and feel better. There seems to be a cold going around the East coast according to my Dr… I have one too.
Have fun today! And finger-licking good, nutritious breakfast considering you’re in a hotel. Need to pick up some of that fig pear jam. Sounds delicious.
That wedding cake sounds amazing!
hahahaha I laughed outloud at the “get the bowels movin” hahaha
Bourbon Pecan cake? That sounds incredible.
I’m not the happiest this morning thanks to wine as well. Hopefully your blahs pass quickly! Can’t wait to see pictures of the picturesque sounding wedding venue.
I love staying at Residence Inn, it’s my favorite of all the Marriott hotel chains
Have fun at the wedding, I’ve never had the cake you’ve mentioned…curious to see what it looks like and excited to see more pictures from the wedding. Since I’m planning my wedding, I’ve been breathing and living wedding stuff lately…I like looking at other pictures of wedding and get ideas on what items I can personalize for mine.
wow what an interesting wedding cake flavor, have fun!
Love Residence Inns too! Your breakfast looks tasty! Have fun at the wedding!
I love the full-size hotel kitchen! That’s awesome. Would be great for a long stay on vacation.
I have bread plate envy right now, it looks amazing!! Love seeing oats on a bread crust
