This evening I write to you rejuvenated and refreshed. Today Seth and I decided to take a day off from park-hopping to just chill and enjoy our time off—sans notecards and scheduled events. Instead, we did things we both love: slept in, went for a run in the sun…and ate of course. Here’s how our day of relaxation went down:

We started the day out like all the rest—with a big batch of banana oats. I promise to have more interesting breakfasts to show you upon my return to Durham!

Afterward, we set out on a 5 mile run in the Florida sun and then returned to the hotel for a dip in the pool.

By the time we were all cleaned up, we both had some majorly grumbly tummies. We made our way down the street to a local Italian eatery for a late lunch.

In an effort to save some money and continue our relaxation mode, we opted to dine in tonight, using some of our groceries purchased earlier in the week. I made a big salad, served in the finest of dishware—that’s right, I used the ice bucket as a bowl for my dinner.

Stay tuned for our a re-cap of tomorrow—it’s our last day in O-town. Good night, all.

Howdy, B-Hut fans! I write to you after another full day. Today’s agenda was occupied by a thorough tour of Universal Studios—we traipsed through the park from 9AM to 6PM! Universal Studios has a lot to offer, however, so there was never a dull moment, as you’ll see below…

Sorry for the breakfast monotony this week. We’ve got a whole canister of oats to eat up before Friday, so coffee maker oats were on the menu again this morning.

Then it was off to the park:

The tummies started beckoning around 1PM, so we stopped for a little sushi break. Quite satisfactory.

More attractions were on the schedule for the afternoon…

Upon returning to the hotel, I completed a short workout while Sethski fetched dinner. He came back with a some Subway grub, including a Veggie Delight sandwich for me. I added a little Sabra to the sub and supplemented the meal with a few grapes. Twas delish—yeah, I ate the whole thing, people.

Now it’s shower time. Ta-ta for now.

Good evening, everyone! I hope you all have had a pleasant start to the week. After a fully scheduled weekend of Disney parks, we had a nice change of pace today. While we flounced around Islands of Adventure (part of Universal Studios) this morning, the latter half of the day was occupied at a more leisurely pace—napping and gym time were involved:) Here’s how I ate my way through this lovely Monday:

More coffee maker oats this morning, made all the better with a little Lara action. (As requested, I’ll provide a more detailed description of this cooking method in a future post).

Then it was off to Islands of Adventure…

After riding The Hulk rollercoaster a whopping three times, we got a little hangry. We opted to dine at a sit-down eatery in the park, where the vegetarian options were limited, but I managed to get some tasty vegetable fajitas for my meal. Excellent guac!

After our quiet afternoon in, we ventured out for some Indian food for dinner. ‘Twas amazing—I might have to try to recreate this dish in the Broccoli Hut kitchen sometime!

Now it’s time for some more relaxation. Be back soon, lovelies!
