Yay For Mini Trips!

I took the liberty of putting some of my racked up PTO to use this week and went to Louisville, Kentucky with my cousin! We stayed with one of our aunts and needless to say it was pretty fun. Sticking to a healthy diet while traveling can be troublesome but I made due just fine this trip. We left on Sunday and arrived after a four hour commute. Half way through we stopped at Montgomery Inn, a restaurant famous for their ribs and sports memorabilia. I got a salad, broccoli and grilled shrimp which was all rather delightful.

Day one in Kentucky entailed of a workout and sight seeing in down town Louisville. First we hit the gym and worked our legs. My aunt was sweet enough to get Jake and I two day passes to her gym. After we got our swell on we made our way down town and wandered the Museum Hotel, took some pictures and then grabbed a drink and a quick lunch at a bar in a hotel. Normally I wouldn't go on about this but this bar was much cooler than most bars.. It was a giant fish tank! Pretty nifty if you ask me. 

After that I had the pleasure of making a lovely dinner for the fam :D I made sauteed shrimp and asparagus and a rice, cauliflower and broccoli side. It was so good! I just sauteed the shrimp in lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and a little bit of butter. As for the asparagus, I just roasted it with a few spices.

Day two was also a slam packed day of activities. We woke up and went to the Muhammad Ali Center which was super cool. It was filled with amazing facts and videos and quotes and even the gear Ali used throughout his career. Believe it or not Ali was from Louisville Kentucky and still resides there now. The Ali center was nothing less than inspirational. I couldn't help but walk out chanting "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".

After the trip to Ali's museum we made our way to the gym for back and biceps. It was a SOLID workout, probably the best I've had for biceps in a while. Then we went home and got all cleaned up to go see the Broadway play of Ghost. It was great! 

^^ That's us on the red carpet thinking we're fly ;)

We made our way back home the next morning and the lovely freezing weather of Ohio greeted us eagerly. It was a nice short trip away but it's also good to be back. I was up and at it in my usual routine today, up at 5 and boxing until 7. Then worked and came home and meal prepped for tomorrow. TGI(almost)F baby!!
