Margaritaville, Lake of the Ozarks.

 

Summer is officially here!

I'm so excited for more time under the Sun! 

We got here last Year in Missouri almost a year ago, I can't 

believe how fast it's going.

Last year we spent a lot of our days being settled in our new home.

So I'm so happy that we would be able to relax and just enjoy Summer this year.

We stayed for a weekend in Margaritaville in the beginning of the Month.

I miss the real beach.

But as long as we get to enjoy the sun and get to swim and thats okay.

This Resort is located in Osage beach, Lake of the Ozarks. 

I heard so many good things about it.

So I picked it as our first Summer destination.

Perfect weather makes me happy!

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days. 

I wish we could stay longer. 

The resort was beautiful. 

It was a little busy but everybody was so respectful with distance so it was not scary at all. 

Definitely starting to feel normal.

I definitely would like to be more careful still.

We checked in around 4pm. 

The room was perfect.

With awesome view of the lake!

I think the boys loved it too.

Since we got there a little later of the day,

We just decided to do Mini-golf.

Something the boys would love. 

I love that they have a lot of activities to do!

We played until its almost sun down!

So much fun!

Then ended the day with some Pizza in our room.

These wings were phenomenal.

I can have it every..day!

Day 2!

We were so excited to Swim all day!

Before spending time in the Sun we decided to let kids have fun at the Indoor pool.

It didn't came with the Hotel reservation.

But, I thought it was worth it!

There was so many fun slides for the kids!

The kids had a blast!

I highly recommend it!

These two could spend all day there if we let them!

 

We decided to leave just at lunch time.

So we can take a break and eat some Lunch.

It was perfect timing as people were starting to come around that time. 

After lunch we decided to go back out walk around.

We were going to the big Swimming pool but it was crowded,  It was crazy.

Thank goodness they have other pool to choose from.

This one wasn't as crowded and it felt more family friendly. 

As the other one was close to the Bar.

It was a hot day.

But the cold water makes it better.

It was a perfect time for reading. 

While my boys spends time in the water.

Its so amazing to be here.

After a couple of hours we head back to the room to hangout and get ready for Dinner. 

We had to have some Ice cream first.

It was so so hot and this Ice cream made us feel so much better!

I am starting to miss Gelato. 

So so bad!

We relaxed for a little bit while getting ready for Dinner. 

The boys needed it.

The resort are so hilly,

It's so nice that you can take Golf carts.

They can take you anywhere in the Resort.

While waiting to be seated we went for a walk around the restaurant.

It is definitely a nice resort. 

The Dinner was amazing.

We got to have a table by the Lake. 

We waited a bit, but it was worth it.

(      )

We walked on the way back to the room and this view is just amazing.

The next day we checked out.

Going to miss this View!

It was such an amazing, relaxing vacation.

It was definitely much needed.

We will definitely be back again.

Healthy Eats.

 

It's so important to treat yourself during the weekend.

I don't call it cheat anymore, because it doesn't sound that good.

TREAT yourself once in a while, it's very important. 

During the week though, I try very hard to keep it balanced. 

Not just eating healthy...

But, also eating and drinking food that is good for my body.

It's important to fuel yourself with the good stuff!

You only get to have one body.

Might as well take care of it. :)

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

Do whats best for you.

You can't drink plain water?

Add some lemon or some fruit.

It will make so much difference!

I prefer Plain water these days though.

I used to be so obsessed with Sparkling, flavored water.

But now, I seem to be content with just Plain water.

Every time we grill Burgers we always have so many leftovers.

I used to hate that,

Now.. I love it.

Because I get to have this for Snack/Lunch or any time. 

I swear, It's soo good!

Still so obsessed with this Protein Veggie wrap.

( Recipe Here )

Eating food with fresh Ingredients is my favorite these days.

What is your favorite Healthy eats??

Watermelon Margarita

 

Summer is here!

Even though it's not official yet, it definitely feels like one.

This Watermelon Margarita is more than perfect!

I have been waiting all year long for a perfect Watermelon Margarita day!

Ingredients

Serves 3-4

4 cups of fresh watermelon chunks
1 tbsp. lime juice (while fresh is best, I used bottled and it was great!)
1 1/2 tbsp. honey
1/4 cup Tequila

Directions

1. In a blender, combine the watermelon, lime juice, honey and water. Blend well.

2. Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the liquid through letting the seeds and pulp catch and set aside.

3. Add the Tequila to the liquid and stir.

4. Serve over crushed ice. A nice small slice of watermelon, lime and a mint leaf make cute garnishes!

Cheers!

Old Drum Coffeehouse

It has been so nice this week to spend a lot of quality time with hubby.

Now that Summer School has started.

We took advantage of the first week for him to also take a leave.

He needed it more than anything. 

After dropping off the boys at School we went straight to a coffee shop 

Downtown Warrensburg.

There's few places to pick.

I saw this coffee shop have cappuccino and it looked good so I picked it.

It was a nice day too.

Hubby had a cold brew and I had Cappuccino.

We also shared a small Breakfast burrito. 

It was nice!

The coffee were good.

It was nice to just hangout.

We never really have to do this

We need to do more often if we can. 

It was a nice coffee shop.

I highly recommend if you are around town.
