A Vacation Kinda Morning

We spent the night in the Hotel Viking here in Newport. Historic, classic, really comfortable. And we got a good deal on the rate (sharing a room helps too ; ) ) It’s more cozy!

It’s also off of KAY street – my initials!! I felt very welcome.

We all slept in this morning and enjoyed talking from our beds for a while before we decided to check out the hotel’s fitness center rather than our group power walk because it’s raining (hard). It was really nice! One of the nicest I’ve been in in a while. Larbs, Matt A. and I did a mixture of ellipticalling, treadmilling and weight lifting while my Matt went out looking for coffee.

I asked Larbs if she’d pack me an indoor workout outfit since I only brought running pants. When I put it on I realized it was all MY clothes!! My 2001 senior high school grad shirt and a pair of shorts marked with my Davidson laundry #1203 to prove they were mine. That sneak!

A few Frog Hollow peaches (which I had forgotten about!) tided me over to breakfast

Matt went out searching for some light breakfast treats to bring back for us. The group voted to put our effort into a nicer lunch rather than a big breakfast and light lunch. I suppose lunch is a more fun meal.

Matt came back with coffee

And a dessert-y peach muffin. I wasn’t in the mood for sweets, so I just had a taste

And plan to chow down on one of my packed bars for breakfast instead.

We’re going to tour one of the Newport Mansions and then will seek out that lunch!

    Haha, I apparently, left my sister’s place with a workout shirt and realized it when I did my laundry from our trip. I have yet to tell her about it. OOPPPS! Have a great day with your family! I am guessing that is a given though!

    I prefer big lunches too, rather than breakfast. I am not a huge breakfast person but I make myself eat it for the sake of my metabolism. Have you ever had those organic Bumblebee Bars? I just bought one and am excited to try it!

    That’s funny about your workout clothes! I love Newport!! It’s so pretty with all of the mansions. I never took a tour of one, I hear they are amazing. I went to Newport once in the spring/summertime and went sailing! Enjoy the day!

    Enjoy your time away!

    Know what’s ironic…we are on a trip right now and had about 20 hours worth of airplane rides to do with my not quite 4 yr old…and I brought those EXACT SAME BARS with me. Fruitions, Laras, and Vega. Small world! The strawberry fruitions are some of her faves. She’s a little snackbar connoisseur 🙂

    I always carry bars with me on vacation. We rarely ever go out to breakfast but love to have a big lunch, so coupled with a piece of fruit they’re the perfect thing! Hope you have a wonderful day!

    My sister is away at college and left a lot of clothes at my mom’s house. So, I snuck over there one day and stole a few items. Hehehe! I am a blabber mouth and told her, but still funny!

    The Viking is classic! Great choice 🙂 Can’t wait to see which mansion you hit up. Hope it’s decked out for Christmas or else I’m going to feel like a fool for talking it up! Happy lunching!

    Haha I don’t have a younger sister so I don’t know what it’s like to have my clothes in someone else’s possession but I’ve witnessed many fights between my friends and their sisters. So entertaining to me.

    My sisters have lots of my old clothes too — it is strange sometimes to see them wear my shirts — they look so much better on someone else 🙁

    I would definitely go with the PB cookie larabar…

    Normally I much prefer breakfast, but I like to do the smaller breakfast + bigger lunch when on vacation too. Breakfast options are so limited when eating out!

    Hahaha, gotta love sisters stealing your clothes.
    My sister called me last week and told me that she saw my picture on Facebook and she really liked my shoes. When I referred back to the picture, I saw that I was wearing the shoes I had stolen from her before moving cross country. Muahaha! Now my goal is to hide them well enough that she can’t find them when she comes to visit me next week 🙂

    Ahhh you lucky Davidson kiddo! I was so jealous of my boyfriend who went there that he never had to do laundry at college. Such a nice perk!
