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

March 17, 2012 at 4:57 pmI 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.

March 17, 2012 at 6:12 pmLooks 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. 🙂

Kris says
March 18, 2012 at 8:48 pmDo 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
March 17, 2012 at 8:41 pmAwwww, 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
