We made it! Before dinnertime too!
We played games in the airport
Did lots of computering.
Some snacking!
How do you eat loose granola when your hands are not the cleanest and you’re without a spoon?
Matt called this “Being a horse.”
Chomp.
We also split a Larabar – one of my favorite flavors!
Virginia is so beautiful from the air!!!!!!!!!!
Mountains!
Take a guess what we had for dinner! ‘
Whole Foods is RIGHT on our way home from the airport. And by RIGHT I mean you get to make a right-hand turn into the parking lot. Much more convenient than a left!
I just watched Gossip Girl. Omg. Also, I really, really don’t think I’m going to make it until April 18 to find out what happens!! The suspense is stabbing me in the heart!
I’m already all unpacked. The fridge is stocked. Tomorrow is busy, but wide open. And I’ve been up since before 5AM – bedtime!
kate@ahealthypassion says
Love Whole Foods hot bar, your food looks delicious.
Katie @ Real Food Katie's Way says
So glad to hear you made it home just fine! I LOVE the feeling of being home after being away for any period of time really…Sleeping in your own bed, making breakfast in your own kitchen, etc etc. There’s nothing like it!
Christine says
Gossip Girl is sooooo one of my guilty pleasures. I just started last season on DVD and am glad to hear that it’s still good. You never know with the CW or WB or whatever channel it is now.
Camille says
Glad you made it home safe and sound! Dinner looks fabulous as only WF can 🙂
faith says
Welcome home! Can you walk in the afternoon? Around 3?
Amanda says
To make the time go faster in between new GG episodes…check out NYmag.com under their vulture section. They do reaps of all the GG episodes and they are HILARIOUS! =)

Looks like a fun conference! Enjoy being home. 😉
Krissy - Shiawase Life says
Glad you made it back safe!
Side note: in a few months, WF will be a left turn…but will be a lot bigger, too.
KathEats says
Ha – you’re so right! (RIGHT!?)
Krissy - Shiawase Life says
LOL =)

Never really watched GG!…I know, for shame…
Simply Life says

Glad you made it home safe Kath! And how convenient that Whole Foods was right on the way home – that would be a must-stop for me every trip! 🙂
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
You are hilarious — I totally plan routes for errands based on if I can make right hand turns — it makes it so much easier 🙂
I’m glad you made it home safe and sound.
Audrey says
Dear Kath,
First off, amazing trip!! Second off, I’m doing a project on what is real/healthy beauty. Could I use you as an example? You and our blog are great examples of healthy living, true beauty, an happiness.
KathEats says
Sure! I’d be honored 🙂

Glad you made it home safely and had a nice trip along the way. 🙂

WF’s is on our right hand side as we drive home from our airport ! We always stop there for dinner when flying back in in the evening.
Kim @ Spoonful of Sass says
I totally do the horse chomp from baggies when I’m on the run. A girls gotta eat! But I’m glad I’m not alone! I’m also guilty of slurping yogurt or applesauce in the car! Works like a charm!
j says
Hahaha “horse chomp”!!! That’s hilarious !!
Rachel @ Grateful Girl Goes Gluten Free says
I feel like you and Matt are the best travelers. You always seem so prepared and organized!

April 18th?!?! I didn’t realize Gossip Girl was repeats until then! And it was such a good one! Ahhh, what’s going to happen??
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
Glad you finally made it back – what a long day!!
I’m so jealous of your dinner. I LOVE Whole Foods!!

Looks like you had such a great time, but it’s always good to be home 🙂
Errign says
Glad to hear you all made it home safe & sound!
I wish I had a whole foods close to just grab food quick!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Glad you made it home safe!!!
And how are you already unpacked? Seriously! You are my hero! 😉
andrea @ chocolateandoranges says
Welcome home! I stopped watching Gossip Girl this season because I was just getting too overwhelmed with all the shows I was trying to keep up with. Hearing that it’s getting good is kind of making me want to pick it back up again though, it was always such a great guilty pleasure! 🙂
Angela (Oh She Glows) says
Oh GG was a tease! I was at the end of the show thinking I was so excited for next week’s episode and then they dropped the April 18th bomb out of no where!!! A piece of me died.
Natalia - a side of simple says
A loud “I KNOW!” in reference to GG.
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Already unpacked?!?! Sheesh almighty, I am SUPER impressed!
Oh, and I love how adamant you were in describing how Whole Foods was *right* on your way home!
Oh, and those pics you took!? Um yeah… we are soooo coming to VA sometime in the future!!! GORGEOUS!
Emily says
yay!! Glad you all made it home AND had time for tv. I need to start watching Gossip Girl! How many seasons are there? I guess I have some catching up to do! Good night!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Glad you’re home safe and got a good, tasty dinner 🙂
Hannah says
Hurrah! And I’ve totally done the eating-like-a-horse bit many, many times in my life.
Emily says
Mountains??? Bahahaha, those, my dear, are SPEED BUMPS to this Coloradoan!
Allison K. says
Emily…I was thinking something similar!
Jen G. says
I had a delayed flight today too. But I had White Russian ice cream at the airport. It had actual vodka in it, so the delay didn’t bother me at all. 🙂
Sasha says
Wow that looks like a great meal from Whole Foods. Love the pick of you eating the granola. I would so do that too.
Kristina says
Gossip Girl is TOTALLY one of my favorite guilty pleasures!! I haven’t watched the new one yet… but now I’m all anxious!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
wow-what a day! P.s. your hot food bar dinner looks fabulous. Glad you’re home safe 🙂
lynn @ the actor's diet says
so funny i always get a whole foods salad too on the way back from LAX
Beatrix @ Beaglebea says
It’s always nice to come home after a trip… hope you’re settled back in.. welcome back.
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
haahaha then I guess I’ve eaten like a horse one too many times! I like it when others are ‘unique’ too 😛
Christin@purplebirdblog says
That hot bar loot looks totally perfect!
Runeatrepeat says
I knew you were in FL, but somehow missed that you were at Marco Island! Ben’s fam has a time share and we go every June. I complain that it’s the worst time of year and mentioned to him that you were there at the right time of year. I don’t think that hint will change his fam’s awful time share dates though 🙁

I am so glad you guys finally made it home and you are ready for today!

I have 2 episodes of GG to catch up on. I’m excited to find out what this cliffhanger is! 😀
Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
Glad you made it home safely!! I wish whole foods was on my way home from anywhere. I have to travel to Short Pump which is about 35 miles from where I live!
Hope says
I love Whole Foods hot bar!! I wish there was one close to my house. That is the perfect choice for dinner! Oh, and I am totally with you on Gossip Girl!!! I can’t wait until April either!! I want to know what happens!!!! I’m loving the whole Blair/Dan thing!
Ashley (The Vegetable Life) says
Gah I know this break between now and April might be the death of me!!!!!!
