Orlando Vacation: Part 1

Hey everyone! I'm back from my long weekend in Orlando and have a bunch of fun stuff to share with you! I typically wrap up in one post but I do have a bonus post for you which will most likely go up this weekend! I'll cover my food and some of my activities here but you'll get to see some really special stuff in the next post :)

I guess we'll just get started! Get a drink and a snack, this is going to be a long one ;)


My very first picture comes from my plane ride out there. I happened to catch the most beautiful sunset out of the window. I tend to end up right near the wing almost every time I fly but I managed to catch this shot and I love the way it looks.

I'm skipping pretty much all of Friday right now because that will be covered in my next post ;)


Saturday morning we went to Ethos Vegan Kitchen for brunch! I didn't stray and had my favorite breakfast burrito. It has tofu scramble, potatoes and faux sausage in it and it is covered in a creamy white gravy. I wish I could have these delivered to my house every day!


My friend got the tofu scramble with a side of fruit and toast (unpictured). I decided to photograph his because I get the same thing every time and thought you may want to see what else they have ;)


After brunch we walked over a few blocks to the Winter Park Farmer's Market. It was a great market (I've been there before but it's even better!) but it was so crowded I didn't take any pictures while we were there. I did photograph the mini haul when we got back. We got a watermelon (it was good but not summer good), a few honeycrisp apples for what I was planning for brunch on Sunday, asparagus to have with pasta that night (no picture but the asparagus was amazing!) and some cherries. They had a great selection of produce. I could do some major damage if I lived there.


On Sunday I made brunch for us and decided to make Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal! I didn't forget to photograph this meal!


This was my plate. We had it with watermelon and it was delicious!

On Sunday we went on a walk around Lake Baldwin. The weather the whole weekend was absolutely perfect: blue skies, mid 70s, nice breeze. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend! Here are the pics from Lake Baldwin:




Check out how blue it is!


Monday was my last day and I couldn't leave without visiting Loving Hut! I wanted to branch out from my usual Combo 1 so I went with the Combo 4 which is slightly different. It was good but not as good as my usual. 


And there you have it! My general recap for my spring trip. I had a great time and as always it went way too fast! I will be back later in the week or this weekend with a post about what we did on Friday. It was an amazing day and I can't wait to share it with you! 

Have a great week!

    1. Thank you so much! Oh my goodness that burrito seriously gives me life. If I could eat it every day I would be so happy, ha! Baked oatmeal is amazing, it tastes like warm oatmeal cookies but is super healthy for you!

  2. Nice sunset shot!! And the breakfast burrito with white gravy is right up my alley. Also, I really hope to get to a Loving Hut one of these days! I tried to go to the one in Atlanta last time I was there, but we drove around and around and couldn't find it. I think our GPS was leading us astray.

    1. Thanks! That burrito was so amazing and that's why I can't stray from it when I go. It's probably one of my all time favorite meals. I hope that you get to visit a Loving Hut soon! They are popping up everywhere and every menu is a little different so I'm interested to see what you end up trying when you get there!

  3. You actually posted! excellent! I am glad it was another successful trip. Surprised to see Cherries sold in a Florida Farmers Market, but I guess why not? You Baked Oatmeal sounds like a wonderful dish to prepare for guests. Looking forward to part 2!
