we drove out thursday afternoon. our workday was shortened, since we left at 4:00 pm, but holy moly did the day feel eternal! it's sort of funny that we live in a "destination city" and could not wait to leave town, even if just for a day. anyone else feel the same?
the drive was pretty darn smooth. we stopped twice; once for a close encounter of the jerky kind (at alien fresh jerky), and again for dinner. thank goodness for chipotle. they offer enough of a variety that allows for a reasonably healthy bite on the fly. boy were we all beat by the time we arrived at our hotel. it was pretty much a shower-and-hit-the-sack kind of night.

this was the first out-of-town trip (besides camping) i have made since fully integrating the low FODMAP diet, and boy did i get a taste of how difficult it is to eat allergy-free on the road. good thing i thought ahead and brought home baked "peanut butter" banana protein muffins, a gf bun, 3 justin's vanilla almond butter pouches, 3 kind bars, a banana, and buffalo jerky. the team agreed to lunch at pacific wharf cafe. the lady taking my order looked at me like i was absolutely insane when i ordered the turkey sandwich sans bread and cheese. yes, i am completely aware that the final product will include turkey, lettuce, and tomato. that my dear, is exactly what i am asking for. seriously though, how can allergy-free (or at least allergy-consious) dining not be more popular these days? but, i digress . . .
the day flew by, to be honest. before we knew it, the clock read 4:00 pm, and it was about time to begin the slow shuffle back to the cars. my one rant is that returning traffic was terrible! it took us 6.5 slow, nearly unbearable hours to make it home. generally, it takes 4 hours. and end rant. lol . . .
super fun day overall! i wish the dude could have met me in anaheim, like he has done the past 2 years, so that we could have continue on to the coast for the weekend. le sigh. oh well, there is always next year :)
any plans for this weekend? is anyone on spring break vaca? i nearly forgot about spring break, since i have been out of college for a while lol. oh, the things the mind leaves behind . . .
peace. love. :)
yay
