Weekend Getaway in Frederick MD

After a fantastic Saturday, Neal and I headed up to Lauren and Greg’s for a weekend getaway in Frederick MD.

We started the evening at Cacique (not to be confused with Lane Bryant’s bra section) for yummy Mexican/Spanish food.

After dinner we headed down the street to Bryan Voltaggio’s restaurant Volt for dessert.

I ordered a cappuccino, in an effort to take me back to my honeymoon for a few moments, and a luxurious dessert for Neal and I to share.  The dessert was reminiscent of a s’more with chocolate mousse, toasted house made marshmallow, and an amazing vanilla ice cream.  It was amazing.

Girl talk and a big old nalgene of water closed out a perfect evening and prepped me for the day ahead. It was so much fun being able to dine with Lauren and Greg and to stay over at their house last night.

This morning Lauren and I headed to the gym to do a Body Pump routine together and for Lauren’s 8AM spin class.

Afterwards we headed back to Lauren’s to clean up and grab a little breakfast before our next adventure.  Around 10:30AM, Lauren, Greg, Neal, and I met up with my friend Jessica and our blogger friend Beth and her friend Teegan for a hike on the Appalachian Trail.

The hike up to the look out was steep but not crazy difficult.  You were ready for the flat path by the time we got to it.  The lookout however was well worth the up hill climb.

After our hike we all headed over to Common Market for lunch.  I had a garbanzo bean salad and a sandwich made of 7 grain bread, grilled chicken, mustard, cheddar, and lots of veggies.

I also shopped around and found my FAVORITE Flavor and Fiber bars.  You can still get a 5 bar sample pack from Flavor & Fiber (you pick the flavors) for just $7.95 + free shipping as a Coffee Cake and Cardio reader.  These bars are awesome!

I also found a new to me item, Vega Savi Seed Cocoa Kissed bites.  These treats were incredibly tasty and very high in Omega 3! A healthy and tasty treat!

This weekend was wonderful and although I could use another day just to be able to clean my apartment and to do laundry, it was so nice to get out of the house and to hang out with some wonderful friends!
