Newport with the girls

Today was a very nice day, the race went o.k., but I got kicked in the ankle around the first corner so it slowed down my time a little bit. I had a big juicy orange at the end of the race, and we hung around for a while- my dad and sister had some food from the big buffet they had, and I scored a couple free Kashi bars!
When we got home and showered, I had a flax plus granola bar to hold me over, my sister and I took the drive over the bridges (I paid a toll for the first time! haha) to hang around Newport for a while before my mom got out of work.

We did some shopping, and ended up finding an awesome sale at the gap! We both got new flowy summer tops and I got a headband =) We grabbed a tea and decided to wait for my mom outside the new store, and she was happy to see us after a long day! We took the 1-mile walk up the street to Pasta Beach! I LOVE this place... fresh pasta, fresh everything! We ordered a big salad to start, drizzled with a bit of olive oil. (I had 2 servings of the picture)

For my entree, I ordered my FAVORITE dish, fresh homemade pesto over orrechiette. This is my favorite pasta, and I love pesto- this one did have some parmesan, but not too much, I'll definately have to learn how to make my own vegan pesto soon! They gave us big portions, but I was so hungry I ended up eating 3/4 of my plate! Delicious, a wonderful night with my mom and sis.

The weather was lovely and warm with a slight breeze walking back to the car, I love summer nights!
This was a great start to the week, tomorrow I have no plans during the day, I might be going out with a friend in the evening, but I'm pretty much getting three days of relaxation, which is wonderful =)
