I have been craving Café Rio for years weeks. And last night we finally had the time (and an excuse to go).
I got the taco salad with chicken, beans and completely excessive necessary amounts of guacamole and salsa. Their taco salads are served on a freshly made flour tortilla. It was Ah-mazing, but 100x better.They’re soft and warm and doughy. I’m in love.
I stole a few of Ben’s chips, but opted to spend my calories (and stomach space) for the fresh flour tortilla. I devoured it in just a few minutes and then we were headed to the airport.
I also LOVE traveling. Love it.
Anytime I go to the airport – even if it’s just to drop someone off I get this nervous excitement. I wish I could get paid to just travel the world county and blog about it
I got a tiny bit of sleep on our first flight from Orange County to Atlanta. Then, we skipped the train to walk to our terminal. Ben is such a trooper because he was super tired too, but still walked with me.
I snacked on some fruit and a few bites of Ben’s breakfast before walking around.
Specifically, I walked to terminal B for the only Dunkin Donuts in the Atlanta airport. Score!
I was super tired at this point and needed a sugar pick-me-up so I was thisclose to getting a donut. Truthfully, I have been craving a good donut for a while because I run past the most delicious smelling donut shop on most of my morning runs. But, I decided to save my donut treat for later this weekend today.
I love Biscoff, but it’s no donut. Don’t worry belly, I’ll get one next time I hit up Dunkin Donuts this weekend later today.
I’m almost to Baltimore! I hope I get a boost of energy when we land – my body is begging for a nap night’s rest.
Don’t forget today at 3pm EST is the #OBandFitbloggin Flashmob!

I totally get that same feeling at airports. My best friend thinks I’m crazy because she hates traveling, but then she’s done it a few times a year, every year, ever since she can remember in order to visit family. But all of my family lives within my own state, so I’ve only been to airports when I’m going somewhere super fun!

I would love the job of just traveling around the world and blogging about it! I want to travel like Anthony Bourdain and dress like Samantha Brown. 🙂

I used to love traveling until I took the wrong bus last time I did. Not fun!
And a donut sounds yum-o!

I’ve actually never flown, so I am always so impressed/excited whenever I see other people flying and traveling all over the place. I’d love to start traveling (after this internship!)
Ida says
I must try this cafe rio!

I lived in Utah in highschool and went there probably every Friday night for 3 years. Until they built one in Denver, it was always mandatory that we stop there on my way home from the airport. I LOVE their sweet pork and if I get a burrito I snag a side of their dressing to dip. AMAZING.

Traveling is always exciting! Have a wonderful trip!!

I have been to that Cafe Rio so many times!!! I LOVE IT!!! Can we meet up there in the Summer. Have so much fun and I wish I could go to hear you speak!!
Lauren says
I am just like you. I oddly LOVE to travel as well. Airports are such a thrill. Its like getting ready to go on a roller coaster! 🙂 Have a wonderful trip Monica!
Brie @ Brie Fit says
I love airports too! Even though I fly a ton for work, it never gets old. My husband is embarrassed at how early I want to get to airports for flights just to take my time and enjoy it.
Sahar says
I get that same feeling of excitement at airports too! Love it, even though most of my travel is from norcal to socal. Can’t wait to see more of the world 🙂
Leanne @ The Skinny Architect says
That taco salad looks divine! Have a safe trip and good luck with your seminar!
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
I LOVE traveling too! I’ve been flying by myself since I was 6 (to visit my dad), so I just always loved it. I know you shouldn’t buy all the expensive airport crap, but I always do. It makes travel so much more fun. 🙂
Oh, and I never use people movers. Anytime is a good time for extra excercise and the ATL and DFW airports are the best for that!
Kara says
If I lived closer to Baltimore, I’d totally come stalk you in the Inner Harbor.
I would have gotten the donut and loved every last bite of it. 🙂
Lizzy @ runbakerace says
Welcome to the East Coast!!!! I have a serious love for DD. Had my morning cup o joe already 🙂
Sara says
I love travelling too! People think I’m weird but whatever I think it is exciting and fun! Glad I’m not the only one 🙂

I thought I commented on another post but I think my computer ate it! Anyway, I live in Baltimore and ran by the fitbloggin hotel this morinng on my long run – 7.75 miles for me, personal distance record! – I was wondering on my run if I would bump into you and thought about you giving me some running tips (I’m still a newbie!) Anyway, then I saw a girl with long red hair in a braid walking through the Inner Harbor and I wondered if it was you! I’m not a stalker, promise! Enjoy my city. Baltimore is fun for running but it can be HILLY! Let me know if you need restaurant or bar suggestions. Baltimore has some of the BEST Happy Hours around!!
