Simply Traveling: Santa Monica

Happy Thursday everyone!

I could not be ANY happier with the ladies that linked up with Let’s Get Physical yesterday! Check them out here because they’re all amazing (I promise) ! If you weren’t able to join us for September, feel free to join us for the next link up on October 10th.

On our recent trip down south, we stayed with a good friend of ours that lives in Brentwood, close to the Santa Monica pier. He was such a gracious host and he definitely made sure we had a great time. We ate A LOT… I’ll just let the picture speak for themselves.

Santa Monica Restaurants:

800 degrees – Like a Chipotle for pizza, you go down a line and create your own. AMAZING. Highly recommend the pesto sauce!

Diddy Riese -Cheapest ice cream cookie sandwich ever!

The Misfit – AMAZING Ahi Tuna and the best sea salt chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had. They also do an endless mimosa brunch I’m definitely returning for!

Although I wish maybe I would’ve thrown in a morning jog or two, I don’t regret any of the deliciousness posted above! Food is a big part of my life and I won’t apologize for that. But I can only eat like that on vacations, eating such AMAZING food daily would not only hurt my fitness journey but my Rob’s wallet too, eek!

I have NEVER had an Ahi Tuna Burger and I think my life was changed FOR-EH-VER. Do you have any recommendations of places where you love their ahi tuna burger??

In between all the food might’ve been a drink or two too. Let’s just say 32 oz Cabo Cantina Margarita vs. Evani: Margarita-1 Evani-0. (32 oz is A LOT people. Trust me on this. Haha)

What are your favorite spots in Santa Monica? Have you ever been? If you haven’t, I highly recommend it!

I can’t believe it’s almost Friday, YAY!
