Travel Log Day 3 - Burgers and Butterflies

I am so far behind on my blog it is sad! I am sure you all have been on a vacation that you are wrapped up in enjoying you forget some things, too!

Sunday was amazing. We went to Red Robin for the first time in our life and it was pretty good! I had the bacon n bleu burger. I don't think I have ever had one that included Cajun spices and mushrooms and I was in 7th heaven!

Afterwards we went to the Butterfly House and Aquarium. It was an interesting experience. I enjoyed all the butterflies, wings fluttering all around. The aquarium was definitely smaller than anticipated but had some interesting finds as well. I even got to touch a shark! (Okay pretty sure it was a lemon shark? Oh and my husband had to hold my hand with me so I wouldnt pull back, but that's what husbands are for!) I even got an anenome hug!

We went back to the hotel, I read a little, then we traversed down to the pool where we swam for hours, having the pool all to ourselves.

We returned to the room, cleaned up, and headed to CRAVE for our "big" meal of the trip. I tried their sushi, phenomenol. went had their garlic wings, which left some to be desired in the seasoning department. When I read "lemon garlic wings" I expected a punch of spicy citrus but only got small hints here and there of garlic and the char taste from the grill.

After the rest of our dinner (nothing to write home about) we returned to the room, had a couple drinks, and watched some TV before falling asleep in the heavenly cloud of a bed.

Monday morning came too soon, as do most last days of vacation. We finished packing up and headed downstairs for a final breakfast (satisfyingly delicious).

We hit the road for home. The drive was much more pleasant as it wasn't as windy as the drive down at the beginning of our journey. Why does the drive home always seem shorter than the drive embarked in the start of a road trip?

We made it home in good time, lugged our packs upstairs, then settled in for an afternoon nap.

The rest of the night was just taking time to enjoy being home, watching some shows, working on some bullet journalin, and reading.

I'll catch up with you soon with the goals this #ScrappyGidget has for #organization and #cleaneating, so stay tuned!
