Paula, Tina, me, Michelle, Allison, Meghann and Katy
Michelle organized the dinner several weeks ago and I was anxious to sit down, eat and catch up with some of my favorite bloggers and talk about everyone’s race experiences.
We met up at Moon River Brewing Company, a bustling restaurant and bar. I’d be willing to make a bet that the place was packed with runners from yesterday’s race. I saw a lot of medals!
Paula and Michelle ran their first marathon earlier that day and Tina completed her first half marathon!
(How cute are Tina and her husband? Such a genuinely nice couple!)
Meghann and Ben also ran the marathon (Ben set a personal record!) and Katy rocked the half!
Ryan and I ate a lot of food throughout the day , so I wasn’t extremely hungry when we sat down to dinner and opted for a salmon salad with goat cheese.
Though I wasn’t starving, I thought the salad would be a bit bigger and more substantial, but the salmon was very good! Michelle’s husband also shared his onion rings with me which made me wish I would’ve just ordered a plate of onion rings for dinner.
The onion rings were the size of a hamburger bun and so, so good!
Dinner was spent talking about the race, Yanni (seriously), and other random topics. Such a fun group of people!
Once we were all finished eating, we walked a few blocks to Leopold’s for ice cream.
The place was adorable and had a lot of character. When I saw cinnamon and pumpkin pie ice cream available, I knew what I wanted! Ryan was in the mood for the same flavors, so we ordered the pumpkin pie sundae which came topped with nuts, caramel, whipped cream and nutmeg.
The ice cream flavors were spot-on and they were very generous with the toppings. Sundae success!
Time to hit the road back to Ocala. I’m trying my best to convince Ryan into making a few pit stops along the way at stores we no longer have easy access to in our small town.
See ya in Florida!

Congrats on your race! Looks like you had a great weekend! 🙂
Lol ordering online just isn’t the same as browsing the stores 😛 I hope you get to shop on the way back!
Congrats on the race and your awesome time!!
That ice cream sounds delicious!
I just love Savannah and that brewery! Such great food! Supposedly that brewery is haunted. Did you feel the “presence”? 🙂
haha! no! but we did talk about how it was supposedly haunted. i wanted to have something spooky happen, but no luck.
Ha! I love that you talked about Yanni. Such sweet tunes. Great job on the race, by the way!
That sundae looks well-deserved! Looks like a great evening- love Tinas blog too!
Aw that looks like such a fun time! I’m so jealous that you got to meet up with so many awesome bloggers. And that ice cream seriously looks so good! Have a safe drive back to Ocala 🙂

Your blog post about the marathon has seriously made me want to try to run a half marathon. Congrats on the 2 hour goal!
Just as much whipped cream as ice cream = a successful sundae. Have a safe trip home!
OHH that sundae looks delicious. I love how the South is very generous!
Looks like a great blogger dinner! That dessert looks amazing!!!! I would have most definitely ordered that 🙂
Looks delicious! Glad you had a wonderful time. Cute outfit:)
I’ve only just started getting in to running…I don’t even know if you could call it that, maybe jogging! I’m determined to run my first mini marathon next year…the Dublin women’s mini marathon is in June and it’s less than half at only 10K. I’m so excited already! Oh by the way…I HAVE to get my hands on pumpkin ice cream! Fat chance in Ireland so it ice cream making might have to be an activity next weekend!
All of this food looks delicious! Looks like the perfect end to the weekend!
I haven’t had a good, giant ice cream sundae in so long! Sounds like a fun night!
I was just in Savannah on Labor day weekend. We went to Leopold’s too- so good!
Thats so awesome that you got to meet up with all those great bloggers 🙂 Your dessert looks soo good! 🙂
That sundae looks awesome! And what a good idea: getting all the bloggers together!
My grandparents live in Savannah and we eat at Moon River every time we visit! Such a cool place… next time, you have to try the ribs. I don’t even like ribs and I love these ribs. They’re THAT good 🙂 Congrats on your half!!
Congrats on the sub2! That’s so great and totally shows your hard training paid off! And that ice cream sundae looks UHHMAZING
How fun! And I am completely jealous of that amazing-looking sundae!
P.S. I love that you said you weren’t that hungry for dinner, but you had no problem ordering dessert. I am SO with you on that one! 😉
ha! i think i should’ve ordered 2 sundaes instead of dinner. 🙂
That sundae is officially the CUTEST dessert ever ! 🙂
that sundae looks so yummy!
The pumpkin pie sundae looks so delicious! I love pumpkin pie flavored things. It just makes you think of Fall, which makes me happy. YAY 😀
I want a pumpkin pie sundae right now!!!!
Congrats on your marathon! it looks like the best prize was meeting up with friends and enjoying an amazing meal!
LOVE IT! Congrats on the race and so fun that you got to get together with so many fun bloggers!

Congratulations AGAIN on your amazing sub-two hour half marathon! That’s amazing! It’s funny, I feel like the whole blog world ran races this weekend..I mean EVERYONE. Right?
Have a safe drive back home!!!
So sorry Kelly and I missed dinner with everyone last night, we were beat and just couldn’t muster the energy to drive back to Savannah last night! Great job on your race though!!
we missed you guys!
Did you know that Moon River Brewing Co. is supposedly haunted? They totally had a Ghost Adventures episode in there. LoL. I know, I know, your life is totally complete now that you know that tid-bit! 🙂
If ice cream could win a “best dressed” contest, that sundae would be sure to win. lol!
Congrats on finishing under 2 hours, that’s awesome! Btw, I definitely saw you last night when I was coming off the elevator in the parking garage. I was going to introduce myself but you were with other girls and my bf told me that it was weird since you didn’t know me!
Yum! That sundae has my name written all over it.
I bet it was so much fun to meet up with so many people that you have things in common with!
So jealous of your trip to Savannah and getting to have Leopold’s! My family and I are absolutely obsessed with the super cute ice cream parlor and I plan on taking my husband the first chance we get to head east!
Reading this makes me want to cry! Hate that i had tto miss alall the ffun, y’all all look great! Next time!
