Spring To-Do List Update #1 - Bikes & Smoothies

A few weeks ago I posted my Spring to Do List -- a list of 20 things I want to accomplish between the first day of Spring and the First Day of Summer! (Click here to see my list!)

I am happy to report that last weekend I checked two items off of my list: 

5. Ride bikes on the River Walk.   

16. Try the fresh juices at Farm to Juice or Juice Central!

We rode bikes on the Riverwalk last year when Kir came to visit and we had so much fun! This time, instead of just a day pass, we decided to purchase the annual pass for B-Cycle San Antonio! Bike kiosks are located all over the city and now, with just the swipe of a card, we can rent a bike for up to an hour at a time and cruise around whenever we want for the next year!

We rode for hours last Sunday afternoon (you just have to re-dock your bike within an hour at a kiosk and then you can check it right back out again) and logged about 18 miles. The weather was heavenly - sunny, with a slight breeze, and the smell of blue bonnets in the air. 

We rode from down town to Mission Espada and back. To see our route, click here!

 

Hubby and I also tried the Juice Central in Alamo Heights. I found the store to be very aesthetically pleasing, decorated in hues of grass green, white, and earthy brown. It also smelled delicious - like fresh citrus fruit and wheat grass!

I ordered the Super C Blast, but was given the Anti-Oxidant Power. I should have told the staff that they got my order wrong, but since I had never been to Juice Central before I decided to try what they made me. The Anti-Oxidant Power, made with apple juice, acai berry, strawberry, blueberry, and goji berries, is delicious. I even felt healthier after drinking this smoothie!

I prefer citrus over berries, so if I go back I will order (and make sure I am given) the Super C Blast, which is chalk full of grapefruit, pineapple, strawberries, orange juice.

Hope your Spring is in full swing! What have you been up to? Chime in with a comment below!

Spring To-Do List

Tomorrow, March 20th, is the first day of Spring! I hope this means lots of warm weather, sunshine, strolls on the river walk, running outdoors, and the chance to wear some cute skirts and dresses!

I had high hopes for fall and then fall came and went and I didn't do half of the things I had planned on doing (That can of pumpkin for pumpkin muffins is still sitting in my pantry... sadness). I guess I wore a lot of scarves -- that should count for something, right?

I decided to make a list of all the fun "spring things" I hope to accomplish between March 20th and June 21st -- the first official day of summer. 

Here it goes...

1. Get cupcakes from Bird Bakery.  (April 12)

2. Go to the Farmers Market at the Pearl Brewery.  

3. Bake fresh berry scones for breakfast.  

4. Plant something.

5. Ride bikes on the River Walk.    (March 30)

6. Dust the cob webs off of my golf clubs.

7. Clean out my closet and dresser. 

8. Create a fun Easter tradition. 

9. Invite friends over for brunch. 

10. Experiment with lip stick. 

11. Have an adventure here.

12. Take advantage of free museum days at the Witte, San Antonio Museum of Art, and the McNay!

13. Movies in the Park and Shakespeare in the Park at the Botanical Gardens.

14.  Bake French macaroons (or try them at Bakery Lorraine)

15. Have a girl's night here!

16. Try the fresh juices at Farm to Juice or Juice Central!   (March 29)

17. Finish decorating my office.  

18. Choose a hair style and get a hair cut. (April 4)

19. Prepare a "guest space" in my apartment for my mom's visit.  

20.  Work out before work 5 times. 

I'll keep y'all posted as I check these items off of my list! 

What are your plans for this fabulous season?

Happy Spring! 

XOXO
