This Summer has been filled with margaritas, travel, baseball, and SO MUCH FOOD. I’ve experienced therefore blessed to have the ability to take a lot of weekend trips among my long function weeks. The photos below catch a number of the moments of several travels to Miami, North & South Carolina.

You can also check out my Trip Advisor profile to check out some of the places I’ve stayed. I have to progress about critiquing the restaurants I’ve consumed at. That’s on my to do list next!

I LOVE margaritas. They’re hands down my favorite drink and what better place to appreciate them then beautiful, sunny Miami?! I used to be in Miami for a vacation to the BlogHer meals conference wayyy back May. Our airline flight was in fact diverted to Fort Myers for a few hours to credited a tornado ON THE MIAMI AIRPORT.

Every thing turned out to be good, but we were kept on the runway all night! I remember departing Minneapolis around 10am rather than arriving in Miami until 9pm. Therefore, a margarita was required.

Next up! The FOOD. Miami is well known for his or her amazing food and I had not been disappointed. I took full advantage of savoring everything Hispanic motivated including big dishes of guac, plantain chips, and AMAZING Grain.

Surprisingly I exercised everyday within my trip. The downtown Hilton Miami experienced a good workout middle and we strolled nearly everywhere we went, as well!

This was just a little appetizer selection from a celebration with Stitch Repair ! We munched on mushroom bruschetta, wine, mozzarella cheese, and amazing bacon wrapped fig. AGAIN, so much food.

Here was the view from my hotel room. It was very humid outside, but everything I cherished.

Meet my consuming partner in crime, Maegan ! We literally ate everything we could in Miami, buying a bit at every bakery and cafe we went.

One evening we decided to walk from downtown to Southern Beach to eat dinner at among Jose Andres’ restaurants. I believe it was around three miles along with a little bit frightening, but we needed the exercise! After all just take a glance at what we were eating…

Sticky buns. Coconut Cake Shakes. Cookies.

OH MY.

I think my favorite was probably the coconut cake shake. It had been definitely delicious and I loved the raspberry that was included with it.

Then there have been these AMAZING cookies that Meagan simply had to get and undoubtedly, I had fashioned to have a couple of bites.

The one with coconut, pecans and delicious chocolate was absolutely fabulous. But I literally had to stop after two bites. I simply couldn’t eat any longer.

After a few fun days in Miami, I jetsetted over to NEW YORK for a brief weekend with Tony.

Better still than all of the food on the planet.

I love being able to see him pitch. It actually keeps me interested in baseball. He actually got moved up to a new team this week, that is very fascinating! I’m so pleased with him.

Of course after a short visit to see him, it’s back on another flight in the wee hours of Monday morning so I could possibly get back to my regular job.

I wasn’t back in Minneapolis for an excessive amount of longer before I needed another trip planned back again. This one was a genuine vacation!

Tony and We planned a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I had under no circumstances been to South Carolina, but I had been SO excited to lay around the beach and just relax.

Ps. if you’re ever on the Minneapolis airport, consume at French Meadow! Their organic breakfasts are perfect.

Tony picked me up through the Charlotte airport and we drove roughly three hours to Myrtle Beach. We stayed at a hotel near Broadway, a place where all of the nightlife was. It was an excellent 20 minute walk to the beach, but I really like walking therefore i didn’t mind.

After we arrived, it was glorious. The beach was beautiful with smooth, warm sand and a salty ocean breeze.

Precisely what I needed.

We spent the majority of our days enjoying cocktails and swimming. Myrtle Beach actually does not have that great of food, so I wasn’t that impressed with any of the restaurants. We just were pleased to be able to forget about baseball and work for a bit. Sometimes you merely need a little travel to reveal, you know?

During the night, we went out with one of Tony’s teammates who also happened to be in Myrtle Seaside along with his girlfriend. Each night we remained out late and danced the night time away.

If you’re in Myrtle Beach, you might browse the ferris wheel overlooking the ocean. I didn’t get yourself a chance to do it, but believe it would have already been fun!

I wish I was back in that ideal weather at this time.

After our visit to Myrtle, we drove back again to NEW YORK where I proceeded to BAKE ALL THE COOKIES. Because that’s precisely what I do.

I also surely got to see Tony pitch around the 4th of July.

And watched him eat a significant amount of food.

We planned a time night time in because we were sick of spending money and because we love cooking jointly; it’s fun to flavor test, drink wines and disagree on how things should be made.

I really wished to help to make The Pioneer Woman’s Baked Ziti , but with a healthy makeover. I literally think it’s one of the best italian meals I’ve ever made myself and recommend it.

Here’s it going into the oven. I’ve no idea why my muscles look so jacked, but I’ll take it.

The finished dish was amazing. We matched it using a aspect salad and garlic clove bread. I sensed good about working 5 kilometers that day.

Cause the very next day I ate two of these cookies AND THEY WERE GLORIOUS.

Then I got back on another airplane to Minneapolis.

I hope you enjoyed a few of my travel adventures. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for more travel fun. xo!
