How to Celebrate A Birthday

We aren’t on a tropical vacation or even enjoying a huge, fancy birthday party today for my mom’s 60th birthday. But, I’m not going to lie, I think we’ve enjoyed every minute of her 60th year thus far!

We woke up early and enjoyed a five mile walk on the beach.

We fueled a day of shopping with a few of our favorite things including fountain Diet Coke, Panera, and bananas!

Heading Down to the South Land…

Two flights later, I’m finally in Savannah!

I slept for four and a half hours on my flight from Las Vegas to Charlotte. It’s amazing how hard I can sleep on planes, trains, and automobiles.

Upon landing, the first thing on my mind was lunch!

Luckily, the Charlotte airport delivered once again!

I ordered a naked grilled chicken salad complete with salsa, a small scoop of guacamole, and plenty of vegetables. It was delicious and the perfect lunch!

I spent the next few minutes before my flight grabbing an unsweetened iced green tea with a splash of lemonade. This is definitely my new favorite warm weather drink! I was a happy camper!

My flight left on-time and landed 15 minutes early! Smooth, quick flights are definitely my favorite type.

By 4pm, I was back in my parents home sweating it out in their new home gym. Over the past few months my parents have put together an amazing gym in my brother’s old room. It includes a 32 inch flat screen television, treadmill, elliptical, exercise mat, and weights!

The views are also better than anything I can find in New York City!

Evidently my legs appreciated the few days off from running as today’s run was amazing! I’m not sure whether it was the brand new treadmill, enjoying the excitement of the 2011 Masters, or the rest but the whole run felt great!

Our plans for the rest of the evening are to enjoy a family dinner complete with my greek salad and my mom’s homemade chicken casserole. She has made this dish my entire life and it’s one of my favorite comfort foods.
