In the midst of everything we had to do this morning, I dropped down and did 30 minutes of a Dave Farmar podcast. Time stopped. I said a mental thanks for my beautiful (rented) house and told it I would be back soon.
100 chatarangas later, i showered and repacked my bags with the same clothes, freshly washed. I’ll be wearing the same outfits as last weekend. Don’t judge!
We had no time or food for lunch at home, so we hit up Revolutionary Soup on the way out of town.
Chips as an appetizers! Love the.pickle ones.
A Spicy Peanut Tofu soup for me. A Grilled Tofu Curry wrap for him. My soup was SO rich (in a good way today!) but also vegan, so I think peanuts must have been blended in. Mmmm!
It came with a lovely seeded roll, including fennel seeds, that I shared with Matt.
Lastly I had a big spinach salad with big fat raspberries, goat cheese and almonds. Delish!!
Leaving Cville is breaking my heart. It’s such a gorgeous fall day! Be back in 48 hours 🙂

It’s always SO nice to get a little yoga or workout in before having to be stuck in a car. The weather is GORGEOUS today here too!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Have a safe trip!! It is gorgeous outside in DC too – can’t wait to enjoy it this weekend!
Michele @ Healthy Cultivations says
Good for you for dropping everything to do some yoga before the trip. And it really looks like lunch was exceptional.
And the rosemary and olive chips look great.

I feel your pain about not wanting to leave home- I am SUCH a homebody too sometimes! There’s nothing as comforting 😉
Lynda says
It’s almost the middle of November and weather in Chicago has been in the upper 60’s for the last 2 weeks…just beautiful, oh and sunny too!! I love it because the winter is long enough here! I love the beautiful pics you are sharing 🙂 Enjoy your weekend.
Sophie says
Phewwww I don’t think I could go straight from trip to trip like that! You’re much stronger than me!
Lindsay says
I love Route 11 chips!! Did you know they are made in VA? Their facility is on Rt. 11 near Shenandoah. They give away samples of all their flavors – its awesome!

That soup sounds so interesting and totally tasty.
Kimberley says
It’s a gorgeous day in Davidson, too! (although I’m not even going to try to claim it’s as beautiful as C’ville).
Camille says
Have a safe drive and a great trip!

It’s always nice to break for yoga- especially in a hectic day!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Yoga always feels so good before and after car trips! My limbs always get so stiff when I have to sit for so long. Have a great weekend!
Hannah says
Aw, I never got to have peanut soup at Rev when I was in C’ville! Sometimes the world is mean 😉
Cara Craves... says
You are always out and about!
Have a good time.
the salty girl says
You must be getting tired, dear! I think soup was a good option because you need to take care of yourself with all this traveling!
Lisa Fine - lisasfoods says
Thanks for sharing the info about Dave Farmar. I’ve been looking for a better yoga podcast, and haven’t been that into the 20 minute YogaDownload ones…I’ll look into this next week.
Have fun this weekend. And don’t worry, soon enough you’ll be settled into home again.
Kristin says
Have fun at Davidson. My 5 year reunion was fun. I should be there this weekend too, but too many other things. Maybe we will meet there one day!
Kristen @ Kristen, Sweetly says
Yoga and take out is all a girl needs sometimes. Living out of bags sucks, but at least they seem like two awesome travels! 🙂
Haley says
I drove through Charlottesville yesterday on the way from Chattanooga, TN to Richmond, where I’ll be running the half marathon tomorrow. The leaves were INSANELY beautiful and the scenic views along the interstate even had my 4-year-old in the backseat ooohing and aaahing! I also ate w/ my mom (who lives in Richmond area) at Olio today and we shared the same Smoked Salmon Nicoise salad you had recently. We were more than pleased and I’m so jealous that she and Dad live so close to it!
Kristin says
Kath—- Have you ever been to Vermont?? It’s a fantastic place, I know you would enjoy 🙂
Kath says
I think I have driven through it but I haven’t spent much time there. I think I would LOVE living in New England – ‘cept for that little thing called cold!
Kristin says
kath- take a snowshoeing hike, a cross country skiing adventure, enjoy the Adirondacks of upstate NY, Lake Placid is so much fun, and the Green Mts of VT, VT Hockey, Go North!
Kath says
I’m coming to Boston and going to Newport next month!
JenATX says
no judging on my part, don’t worry. why spend time planning an outfit when there’s a perfectly good one that you know already works??
