A lot of people tell me that I have the best ideas of things to do and ask how I come up with them. So I thought I'd share some of our favorite weekend things to do below! This has led me to some cool things like a Hot Air Balloon Festival, Rodeos, Fairs, certain holiday events and even family friendly football watch parties. When we got to Texas.....welll for any Texas readers, you can see a list of things we did here:Visited Austin TX

She moved there last year and Our trip to Siesta Keys to visit my mom was a great time! And sometimes that is ok because often you might not have enough time to workout or you just deserve a good break from trying to eat so on point all the time, and just enjoy eating and drinking whatever you please. and it was where we went when we needed a healthy meal), Meaney's Mini Donut s (We can't come to Siesta Keys without grabbing some of these deliciously amazing mini donuts), Osyter Bar or SKOB This place was great for seafood and some live music), Bon Jour French Cafe (They had GF and Vegan options), Made in Rome Organic Gelato (Obv we had to try this place), The Cottage (this place was right around the corner from where we stayed too and they had great food and the drinks were good too)

The day after Christmas we headed to the mountain (which is a hop, skip and a jump from my sister's house). Last year we did Christmas in Siesta Keys and we told the kids that Santa would leave the a few small things but he would leave the rest of their gifts at home. It inevitably exhausted us all, but it was still worth the exhausted trip back, the day before New Year's Eve. It's been awhile since we've seen that glorious white stuff, so we were pretty thrilled even if it was just a dusting (to those NorthEast folks).We got dressed on Christmas Eve and headed to my sister's house who lives near the mountains in upstate NY, about 25 min from Saratoga.

Despite not being hungover whatsoever, on New Year's Day, I woke up and laid in bed until noon. After spending 2 weeks in New York and then traveling back to Texas the day before NYE, we were too tired to do much of anything for New Year's. you name it, if we don't use it much or it's excessive, it's a goner! While I still love travel and seeing new things, sometimes things need to take a back seat for more important things.
