We’ve had such wonderful luck with the weather this weekend!! It’s been just warm enough to enjoy 100% without a chill to the air, and we’ve had pretty much cloudless skies the whole time.
This morning, mom, Larbs and I went on another marsh walk where we ran into black snake #2 of our trip!! So scary. My whole body broke out in goose bumps by some ancient instinct. I just barely was able to walk by her.
After our walk, which lasted over an hour, we packed up a picnic and headed to the beach!
Hummus, pepper, avocado, pepperjack sandwiches
With a side of grapefruit and a handful of wheat thins on the side!
After some relaxing reading – improved today with my newly purchased BHI visor! – we went on another family walk, over an hour again. Lots of walking this trip!
When we returned, I ate a banana + packet of almond butter I brought from home.
A hot shower felt oh-so-good, and I’m headed up to join the others for cocktail hour before our last dinner!
Waving goodbye

Hiking with your mom would be SO fun. I’d just be cracking up the whole time. Say hello and happy birthday to her for me please!
Hi Allie! Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Thanks for linking to your family’s blogs – I’m checking them out now!
How fun! Snakes totally freak me out too! That flavor AB is awesome. Enjoy the rest of the trip
What a nice, relaxing vacation!!! No more snake photos, please!
I got goosebumps just looking at the picture!!!
I really want to try those packets of Justin’s.
Though it is raining here, a walk outside was super refreshing! But I’m terrified of running into a snake since I have nightmares about them.
Ooooh, pepperjack. Must buy!
It seems like you guys have had a picture-perfect family vacation, yay!
I love the colors! The sandwich looks awesome!
The sandwich looks super yummy as always!!!
Have a great evening with your family! I love going on walks, especially one that involve such exciting wildlife!
The sight of snakes and mice paralyse me! Love family vacations…just got back from our family ski vacation to Stowe…hit every kind of weather system…sun, rain, fog and snow! What a tasty sandwich combo!
Looks like such a fun day of walking! So glad the weather is cooperating!
In SoCal we have rain, chilly and cloudy skies. But I like when the weather changes here so it’s okay.
Ahhh I hate snakes – I’m impressed you were able to get a picture!
I’ve been meaning to try the maple almond butter package, I keep eyeing it in the store..
Snakes give me chills too.. more than spiders I think..
I would have been scared to death of that snake!
Have a nice last dinner

Justin’s Nut Butter. Always a good idea to keep around. I had some this morning on top of GF toast and homemade strawberry-peach jam. YUM.
Oohhh that sounds like a derrricious combo!
And kath, so glad nothing happened! That snake looks so–black and scary…0_0
Is that the Justin’s nut butter I sent you last year? Hahah; xoxo Love ya!
Indeed!!!! Thanks!!
Where do you find the 90 calorie packs of Justin’s? I have been looking!!!
Ive seen them on grocery store shelves
Do you know where? (Or, can you say on here?) I have seen and bought the regular portion packets (yum!), but I would love to find the 90 calorie ones. Thanks for your help!
Awwww, I don’t mind black snakes because they’re easy to identify and I know they’re not poisonous but if there’s any kind of design on them at all I am pretty terrified because I don’t know enough to identify the ok ones vs. the bad ones!
Looks like you’ve had a wonderful, relaxing couple of days with the family, snakes and all!
What a great nature-ish post…If you like snakes! EEK!!! I am not a fan!
Glad you made it past them!
WOW!! That looks sooooo delicious! I want to try your sandwich. And that’s a perfect combination with the orange slices! Great idea.
Looks like a beautiful area for walks.
Where do you get those little but butter packets? They look so handy for school
I think they’re on the shelves at whole foods
Your sandwich looks delicious! What kind of bread do you use?
Cville Crunch from our bakery, Great Harvest Bread Co
For a second, I thought those were strawberries on your sammie. Strawberries + pepperjack? Haha
