It felt so good to sleep in this morning.
It felt even better to eat delicious French toast, topped with syrup and nectarines right after we woke up on the patio because it’s so beautiful outside today!
Perfect Sunday morning breakfast!
After breakfast, my mom and I headed to Jazzercise. My mom is an avid Jazzerciser and I love taking the class with her whenever I have a chance. It really is so much fun! I love the instructors in St. Pete because they’re all so charismatic, energetic and funny. The class almost feels like a social club in addition to a workout class.
Post Jazzercise, my mom and I hit up some stores looking for more stuff for our rental house, including Pier 1, Marshalls and HomeGoods.
Guess who we saw again today? Lil’ Wayne! Apparently Lil’ Wayne prints are quite the coveted thing in Sarasota and St. Pete.
Lunch
Once we were done shopping, we headed home for a delicious lunch of prime rib sliders with mashed potatoes, gravy and fruit salad.
Such a yummy lunch!
I had two sliders, a ton of fruit salad and mashed potatoes that were buttery and delicious.
Ryan and I have to pack up our stuff and get on the road back to Ocala soon. It’s so incredibly gorgeous outside today that I’m hoping our drive will be a windows-down kinda ride. I have a feeling we’ll be enjoying our new patio furniture this evening!

What a yummy lunch! I think the weather around the entire southern part of the US has been great! It’s been a perfect weekend in Austin, too!
Lauren says
Jazzercise is the mom type of workout! All my friend’s moms go to class nearly everyday and have their special spots in class. It’s fun to go to when I’m home visiting!

Yum! We had french toast for breakfast too. Usually we top ours with sugar and lemon juice, and its actually pretty delicious! 😀 Hope you have a great rest of your Sunday1
Holly says
When I first read this I thought you said ‘when we woke up on the patio…’ like you slept outside….I was like ‘hmm… well, it is really nice outside, but I don’t know if I would sleep outside.’ Then I realized you meant that you ate breakfast outside 🙂 …just took me a minute- lol!
Maria@La_Piattini says
I wish we were still having gorgeous weather like that in NJ- it basically went from Summer to coooold in the blink of an eye. Looks like you had a great time!

French toast or pancakes are the best Sunday breakfast foods! And prime rib sliders? Your family knows how to eat.

Prime rib sliders!!!! I need to have those!!! We haven’t had nice weather in the afternoon in Fort Worth. Decent in the morning for a little preview of fall and then back to the scorching hot afternoon. The devil could definitely hang out here.
Erin @ The Grass Skirt says
I love Jazzercise too. I used to think it was for old ladies until I took a class. it was SO much fun! 🙂
Joelle (On A Pink Typewriter) says
Those sliders look yummy! I totally wish that DC was experiencing that kind of weather.. it’s in the high 40s here today!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says

Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie says
I just had a nectarine for the first time ever three days ago! How crazy is that? It was delicious, I totally need to try it on pancakes!
Nicole says
This was such a fun, upbeat post. LOVED it!! 🙂
Nicole says
I have to ask about the placemats… did your Mom make them? My Mom has a plastic tablecloth in the same “Happy Birthday” pattern that we used to put out on our outdoor patio furniture whenever it was someones birthday. After moving years ago, we would put the tablecloth on our dining room table for the occasions. I’m sure my Mom would have picked up placemats if she saw them, which is why I wanted to know if your Mom had made them!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Prime rib sliders sound amazing!!!
Lisa says
Julie,
If you like Jazzercise so much, you should try Zumba! I go to Zumba and I love it cause it doesn’t feel like you’re even exercising!
Hilary says
Hahah lil Wayne is everywhere…. I think I’m gonna go to homeGoods for a weezy picture to hang in my bathroom!
Khushboo says
Love eating al fresco- it automatically turns a good meal into a great meal!
Hope says
Breakfast looks great and so do those sliders! 🙂 I love eating outside. It’s a nice change from the normal inside dining.
Cait's Plate says
Both breakfast AND lunch look amazing. I made an egg + muenster cheese sandwich the other night thanks to you and it was awesome. So thank you for that 😉
Lindsay says
I didn’t know there was a Jazzercise place in St. Pete! I’m in Dunedin myself… I need to check that out! 🙂
