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

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.

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!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
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. 🙂

Snakes give me chills too.. more than spiders I think..

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.

Where do you find the 90 calorie packs of Justin’s? I have been looking!!!
KathEats says
Ive seen them on grocery store shelves
Kris says
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!
Sara R. says
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!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
What a great nature-ish post…If you like snakes! EEK!!! I am not a fan!
Glad you made it past them!
