I had a whirlwind of a weekend and it was action packed with super fun activities.

After Boot Camp last Thursday night we headed up to Rhode Island. We figured the traveling would be easier if Ava was sleeping in the car but of course there were still tons of people on the road! We got to RI about 10pm and with plans to go to bed early Ava quickly changed that. She got her second wind and stayed up until 1am.

Friday morning I woke up and drank some coffee after feeling a little tired from my busy week and the little sleep. We took Ava and her cousin Natalie to a unique shopping center that had a little petting zoo with chickens, goats, and little shops in the mix.

They also had a bamboo forest.

The girls had fun exploring. We also made a trip to a park to let Ava & Natalie have some fun!

After our morning adventures we hung out at Marc’s parents until it was time for Marc to drive me to Misquamicut to meet up for my friend Megan’s Bachelorette Party!

We stayed at the Breezeway Resort which was located right by Misquamicut Beach!

We stayed and hung out at the beach until about 5pm, the weather was perfect!

Once we got ready we headed to the Ocean Mist for dinner.

Followed by some drinks & dancing at Paddy’s Cafe.

We had a blast hanging out, sharing conversations, and partying for Meg’s last weekend as a bachelorette!

Saturday morning I woke up early, thanks to my biological clock that is set on Ava’s schedule. I didn’t mind being up early and being able to lay in bed without having to jump up to get Ava or change a diaper! I got some breakfast with the girls and then went for a long walk on the beach!

After lunch time I headed back to the hotel room to shower & get changed, it was time for me to head to our friend Lauren & Chris’s wedding in Worcester Massachusetts.

Marc picked me up at 2pm and we made the trip to the wedding. We were able to pass time quickly as I recapped my fun night with the girls the night before.

The wedding started off with cocktail hour at 430pm.

The food was delicious! I did indulge in some cocktails as well

The wedding was beautiful.

I devoured my dinner in minutes it was so delicious. We had filet mignon, rosemary potatoes, & green beans! Yum.

The rest of the night was spent catching up with college friends.

Dancing on the dance floor!

and celebrating the new Mr. & Mrs. Chris Desantis, It was a beautiful wedding!

The end of our trip pretty much looked like this….. we were all completely wiped!!

Now it’s time for me to head to work and teach Group Power. I may need a little luck with this workout, I’m pretty tired from my fun weekend!

Friday was a low key night at our house, we had some take out.. I had a delicious grilled chicken salad from Arcuri’s. This salad dressing is so good I could drink it.

I got up early Saturday morning, ate a quick breakfast and then headed to the YMCA to practice Group Power with a co-worker. I like the new workout a lot and I cannot wait to launch it next week! This workout focuses on using heavier weights so I was definitely sore later in the day 

When I got home I refueled quickly with a protein shake, some fruit, and mixed nuts. My afternoon was dedicated to getting ready for my friends Bachelorette party! (Well lets be serious, It doesn’t take me long to get ready… I exaggerated, It may have taken me an hour tops)

My friend Lauren came over around 5pm and then we headed over to The Bachelorette’s parents house for the start of the night.

They had some appetizers and cocktails for everyone to enjoy

We all had fun chatting and taking lots of pictures. Here is a pic of me and my best friend Danielle.. the future Mrs. Murphy

Once the party bus arrived we all hopped on and headed to a Karaoke Bar in NYC

we all had tons of fun singing and dancing.

Have you ever been on a Party Bus?? They are s0 much fun.. I think I can speak for everyone, when I say we had a blast!

When I woke up Sunday morning I realized how much I need my sleep! Do you feel the same way? I slept from 1am until 7:00am Saturday night.. which clearly wasn’t enough sleep. My body was like; “what happened?” Thank goodness I have the best husband ever. He went out and grabbed us some Dunkin Donut Pumpkin Coffees.. (1 pump of pumpkin flavor!) it cuts the sugars by a ton! You should try it.

After my coffee kicked in and my sleepiness wore off, I was ready to go. I spent some quality time with my little Ava.  We enjoyed the weather outside at the park, watched some football, and chilled.

When Ava took her afternoon nap I went for a long walk/run.. it was such a nice day to be outside!

I had no interest in food prep yesterday.. I was productive but wanted nothing to do with the kitchen! SO I guess our meals and lunches will be on the fly this week. Oh well!

NOW, it’s time to teach Group Power and get my sweat on

PS: How funny is this picture of Ava…. apparently dinner wasn’t good enough, she was searching for something better!
