Boy is it windy out there! You’d think it was Hurricane Christmas out there…
Wind in the willows would have kept me up all night if I hadn’t luckily brought my earplugs..
Breakfast was a bowl of cereal (Quaker Oatmeal squares – Allie’s box!) with granola crumbles and fresh fruit
We went out to take some photos of the marsh in the bright blue sky. Do we look cold?
We are/were planning a long run on the island. I’m kind of afraid I’ll be blown into the marsh!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
The wind was crazy last night! No snow in DC but plenty of wind. I just made it to and from the gym sporting a gorgeous windswept look. 😉
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
It’s really windy in DC, too. If you do run outside, be safe!! Hopefully you’ll run with the wind rather than against it.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Beautiful photos. I love the shot of the swing.
Debbie B. says
BEAUTIFUL pictures!!! It’s windy here too and wish I was by a marsh :).
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
The pictures are just gorgeous! I have been there and have almost been blown into the water…haha! nothing windier than an island, seriously! Stay warm and have a wonderful run and enjoy the time w/ your family! 🙂
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I love oatmeal squares!
Lovely photos! Stay warm 🙂
Simply Life says
Oh i love how colorful your breakfast is!
Melissa @ I Never Imagined says
It’s crazy windy here, too! I love that chair swing
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
You brought the box with you? Too funny. I guess you need some mouths to help you out with that monster box. No swimsuits and beach umbrellas this time, huh?
Anna @ ciaotochow says
Kath, I love how you can make even a simple bowl of Quaker Oat Squares (my fave cereal, may I add!) look gorgeous. You have such great talent. P.S. I know this is kind of RANDOM, but what type of earplugs do you wear? I’ve been meaning to get some to sleep at night, but the free airplane ones my mom gave me didn’t quite cut it!
Kath says
🙂
I have some cheap CVS ones that are hot pink and yellow swirls and they are amazing!
Dorry says
Your breakfast looks so tasty and fresh. I got some similar moccasins/slippers for Christmas – love them!
Jil @ Big, City, Lil Kitchen says
The pictures are gorgeous. That fruit looks so delicious.
Caitlyn (A Spoonful of Life) says
It’s looks beautiful out there!
Christin@purplebirdblog says
That is one gorgeous breakfast!!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Very cool photo montage!
If you guys make the run, I am going to be SO impressed. 🙂
Camille says
Oh man, you look coooold!
I am pretty weather resilient, but I absolutely despise wind. If it is windy, I will stay in the house the entire day if possible!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Good luck with the run! I’ve had a number of training runs in the gusty winds! Not run, but quite an experience.
Sisters Running the Kitchen says
looks beautiful!! hope the long run goes well! feels good to get in a good workout after the holidays doesnt it? I am STARTING to feel back on track…sort of.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I feel like the whole east coast is getting some seriously wintery weather right now- the wind is blowing all the snow around outside my window and it looks so pretty!! Enjoy your vacation 🙂
Natalia - a side of simple says
My siblings and I watched the Wind in the Willows movie so many times when we were younger. I watched it about a year ago and thought, wow..this movie is a bit odd! Happy running 🙂
Christine (The Raw Project) says
Beautiful pics, good luck on the run!
Allison K. says
That really might be the prettiest bowl of cereal I have ever seen!
Elizabeth says
That looks like such a peaceful place to spend the holiday.
Minus the fact that you need ear plugs to sleep, that is…
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I love howling winds! I would have loved to sleep in it. 🙂
Allison @ PickyEatingRD says
You look freezing!!! Lucky for Chicago it has been in the 40s which feels so warm!!
Shannon says
Where did the snow go? I was so looking forward to some snowy beach pictures. I guess it wasn’t as bad as they thought there. In Raleigh, we got about 6 inches.
Kath says
No snow stuck here!
Alaina says
It looks beautiful out there! But yes, it does look freeeezing.
Keri says
That bowl of cereal looks so colorful and festive. And despite the cold, the pictures look amazing…. love how clearly blue the sky is! 😀
Gloria says
Okay, everyone needs to get some common sense and STOP telling you to go for a long run. Go for a short one if you HAVE to and do yoga indoors.
Kath says
The run was AWESOME!
Jen says
Looks cold, but beautiful!!! Enjoy the run 🙂
Jen
Allie says
Awwww, you guys DO look cold! Breakfast looked tasty 🙂 Keep warm !!
Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
brrrrrrr stay warm! 🙂
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
That’s the one thing I love about winter – the cobalt blue skies!!
Namaste Gurl says
Have fun on your island run and layer up for brisk run– yikes!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
You definitely do look chilly! Beautiful photos though 🙂
Ann @ Day by Day says
The colorful fruit in your cereal is so pretty! I wish I had your photography skills and talent! I am such a wimp in the cold, so I’m really impressed that you can go run on such a cold, windy day. All I want to do when it’s so cold is sip hot tea.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
gorgeous photos!
i love quaker oatmeal squares – one of my favorite cereals!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
It may be windy, but it looks pretty!
Amy K. @ onehealthypeanut says
It is super windy in GA too! That is the one thing that can keep me from running… that and icy sidewalks from the SNOW we have had!!
Kathleen says
Your breakfast looks absolutely divine!!!
I’m adding you to my blogroll!
carlee says

Kaitlin says
Its super windy in Florida too! I just went for a long windy run and it was awesome! Good for you guys for pursuing the run!

The blue sky in those pictures is stunning! Hope you’re staying warm!
Hannah says
Oh gosh, I once got blown onto a busy road when I was walking home from school. It was really terrifying, so be careful!!
