Happy Independence Day! I know, today is Monday. During the post, an error occurred and this post didn’t publish correctly. Hubby and I decided to escape for the holiday weekend.

The hotel’s gym has real equipment. Most hotel’s idea of a gym is one treadmill and a few other pieces of equipment, but not this one; it’s the real deal. Yay!!!

I hit some weights this morning and now I am enjoying a delicious quinoa salad on the beach.

For the natural chica’s, to protect my hair from the salt water, I saturated it with my favorite conditioner, VO5 Herbal Escapes.

As I write this post on the beach, I am feeling blessed and refreshed!

Have a fabulous Day!!

 Above the clouds is so magical.

 Sitting on the plane before take off in Atlantic City.

Free weights at a hotel gym!  Now that I know it’s possible, I’ll have to add this to my list of necessary hotel amenities.

I brought this tasty quinoa salad at Starbucks.  This salad was the bomb!  Fresh lettuce,cherry tomatoes, and chicken!  It’s nice to eat healthy on the beach.

What’s better than an ocean front view?  An ocean front view that can be enjoyed from the shower!  Awesome!

I had fun trying to figure out how many different exercises I could do on this baby! Cool!

After a brief rain, this lovely rainbow brightened the sky.  So pretty. 🙂

This little monkey was one of nearly a dozen strolling around the rental agency’s parking lot.  I’d expect to see monkeys strolling around in another country, but not in Florida.

Having a blast on the beach.

I love palm trees. I want one in our backyard.  Umm… not in Jersey though.  :0(

Selfies on the beach.  For once, we’re both relaxing.
