Because he slept in until 8:30, I quickly realized that his usual morning nap wasn't in the cards. We needed to take this opportunity to do something fun that we normally wouldn't get to do because his nap would normally get in the way. We went to the zoo!
But first--
Breakfast: Robeks smoothies
Interesting fact: You can request for Robeks to make you an all-fruit smoothie, meaning they just make it with the fruit, the juice, and some ice. While the juice might be a bit of a stretch for us, it was sure a nice treat today. We stopped at Robeks on our way to the zoo.
Lunch: Chronic Tacos
We stopped at Chronic Tacos on our way home from the zoo for lunch. It nearly killed me not to get their baja battered fish burrito--which is truly one of my favorite things in the world. But their basic tacos were great and also within the realm of our diet.
Dinner: Trader Joe's Maui Short Ribs and broccoli
I forgot to take a photo. I've made them before though, so oh well I guess. This is a great meal because it's very easy, with very little mess or clean-up to do.
I definitely enjoyed the break from cooking today. When you're cooking (and cleaning up after!) every single meal, AND YOU DON'T HAVE DISHWASHER, it begins to get a bit tedious. It was very nice not to do that today. Probably a great way to celebrate that we are now officially in the last half of this 40-day diet.
If you live in Orange County, you need to check out The OC Zoo. Located inside Irvine Regional Park, it's only $2 per person to get in. It's small, but it's great for young kids. It's only open from 10AM -3PM, which means on a normal day we have to take Uriah in the afternoon because of his nap schedule. The afternoon is no fun. All the animals are taking naps. But today was not normal. We went right at 10AM when they opened. And it was fantastic.
