Since it is already the middle of August (insert sad face here), I am trying my best to take full advantage of summer. This past weekend I did just that. I think a great summer consists of outdoor sangria, baseball games, friends, and backyard parties. I’d say I covered most of the bases (haha).
Friday
My lovely friend that works for the Mets got me tickets to the Mets/Phillies game. I am a huge Phillies fan so she always goes out of her way to get me tickets when they play in New York. I found Mari and friends at the subway stop and we rode to the stadium. Mari thinks I am nuts for rockin my Phillies gear in New York. I have to show my pride!
We were 13 seats away from the field! Hello!
We also had a waitress for our section! So cool! I ordered a Blue Moon.
Excuse my nail polish. Getting a manicure in a few days.
I brought my own turkey and cheese wrap to be on the safe side.
I was kind of upset that I brought food after I saw a Subway right where we were sitting! There was also sushi on our menu! Oh well, at least I saved a few dollars.
Mari ordered a Kahlua iced coffee from the menu but we swore there was no alcohol in there. Our server told us they only use one shot so Mari begged her for a little more. Still no luck.
The Phillies lost but it’s okay because we beat the Mets the next 2 nights!
Saturday
I woke up and went to the wonderful Tower Diner for brunch. I got an egg white omelet with feta cheese, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
We also split some pudding for dessert. Never too early for chocolate pudding!
Later that night I went to Dori’s apartment for her first ever backyard party! It was so nice back there! I can’t believe we don’t play out there more!
Dori made delicious sangria….
She also made amazing Magnolia banana pudding! YUM!
I was happy…
Sunday
Dori and I woke up bright and early for some Core Fusion! It was another great class! We had plans to go to Angela’s rooftop for sangria but first we went to Dos Caminos for brunch. They had a very reasonable brunch special, $13.00 for a drink and meal. I started with a margarita of course!
We split some guacamole and chips. The guacamole there is amazing!
I got an omelet with goat cheese, mushrooms, and some corn thing. I forget the word. We had to google it to see what it was in English. Dori will remember.
The omelet was pretty good but nothing special. I want to go back there for dinner next time. We headed over to Angela’s afterwards for more drinks! We were supposed to go in her kiddy pool again but it ended up raining. We still had a great time inside her apartment. Angela made her own spinach dip!
We drank sangria alllll day long!
Angela also made coconut truffle brownie bites with cashew frosting! Check out her recipe here!
Great weekend! It is always great to hang out with fitness and food bloggers since it is almost always a given that the food and drinks will be on the healthier side. We also always make sure to fit in an exercise class to balance out all of the alcohol. I wish summer would never end! Or maybe I just need to move somewhere warm. One day…
1) If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
2) What is one thing you want to do before summer ends?

Love that you had chocolate pudding at breakfast. It makes me smile. Honestly, if I could live anywhere I might be back in Philly, I love the people, the city and the suburbs, I think its really balanced. Plus they have so many good restaurants and tons of BYOBs. Well that or somewhere exotic and hot. I love NY but it can get claustrophobic and it would be nice to live somewhere that didn’t have such extreme drops in temperature.

agreed. a perfect summer night/day ALWAYS includes sangria.
i bet mari could have bought a bottle of kaluha for the amount she paid for one shot! i think you’re super brave for wearing your phillies gear to a ny game! even though the mets suck haha so in essence it doesn’t matter

I had such a great time on friday! BTW I want to go back to that bar (from my bday) before the summer is over =)…I sense a 5 Burros date in our near future!
Dori’s party looks like so much fun =) you three look fabulous in the pictures!
Hmm If I could live anywhere it would have to be San diego, only because I heard it so soooooo beautiful and does not get that hot =)

Sangria and Blue Moon have got to be two of my all-time favorite drinks!

Whew, eventful weekend!!! The game looks so much fun and being that close to the field must have been awesome. Oh, and those cupcakes..kinda wishing I could rip them off my screen right now.

Your pictures are amazing and making me want a Dos Caminos marg right now! One thing I want to do before it starts to get cold out is walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

One thing I want to do before summer ends = have a picnic in Central Park! I never take advantage of the park the way I should, and I feel like summer is the prime time to do it. You always seem to know of the best drinks in NYC….we need to have a margarita meetup sometime

What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im fairly certain Id have a fair shot. Your blog is wonderful visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.
