Monday? Already?!

I feel like the weekend FLEW! It was a great one though :D 

Saturday, was of course full of football! John and I got up, ate some breakfast, and then got ready for some Wolfpack ball. During the game I prepared some fun tailgating snacks which included buffalo celery, jalapeno poppers, and mac and cheese bites- YUM! all of course were weight watcher friendly ;D. After a great WIN (we didnt play the best, but a win is a win!) we watched MORE football. haha. Really Saturday was very relaxing and great time spent with the hubs. 
GO PACK!
 MMMmmmm...
 Next time, I'm gunna add bacon to the bites. They were really good though!

Sunday, we slept in again and after lounging around the apartment we decided to try out our kayak! We drove two blocks down, parked, inflated the kayak, and set out south down the canal. A few years ago we never would have dreamed of doing something like this- just goes to show how much we have grown while living down here. 

The weather was beautiful and it was really cool to kayak behind the houses on the canal. They were ridiculous. These houses were seriously gorgeous and most had boats docked out back. One of the houses had lights set up and I couldnt really see what they were for, so I got out and walked up the walkway and saw a tennis court! and next to it, a huge covered pool. Seriously, I need some of these peoples incomes! haha. The houses kept getting bigger and bigger and some of them were just breathtaking. I am trying to convince John to find out which houses are for sale and have open houses so we can check them out. haha. 

Anyway, we were having so much fun that we kept wanting to see what was around the next bend and then the next and then the next. haha. After awhile we just knew the ocean had to be close so we kept going and then boom! the ocean was there. It was beautiful. We could see Key Biscayne, downtown, and one of the big bridges. Just so pretty. After enjoying the view for a bit and resting we decided to turn back and make the long journey home. In total we went about 5 miles and it took us just about 3 hours. We were/are exhausted after that trip! Next time we are going to bring more water and snacks. oh and sunscreen. If I had known we would have been out there for so long, I would have put some on. The original plan was to be out there for about an hour. whoops. lol. We had SO much fun though. And the kayak held up well! when we were done we deflated and walked to our car. It was pretty neat. I am so glad we bought it!!!

We are going to take Carter next time to see how he likes it (we definitely wont be gone for that long though, he would get bored). I will also remember to bring my camera next time. I am SO mad I forgot it. :( I guess that just means we'll have to take that route again;D.  Hopefully, it wont rain this weekend so we can go. SO MUCH FUN!
