say cheez please: Hola!

Parents, if you want wonderful pictures of your children, never teach them to say "cheese"! Please learn from my mistake or you will have thousands of photos just like mine - squinted eyes, scrunched up noses, clenched teeth, and an image that just screams "say cheez!!!". Join me while I search for that one perfect shot that doesn't conjure up images of dairy products. Oh, and unless you like that *messy* look, you'll probably want to clean their faces before you snap away. I never seem to remember myself.

An imporant sidenote is to make sure you document your life! Recording the little details of the who, what, where, when, & why makes for wonderful stories and captures your life for years to come. Because if you are like me, you'll forget it all 5 minutes later!

Hola!

Ken & I recently took a much needed get-a-away to the beautiful Riviera Maya. It was a short trip so we tried to squeeze in as much R&R as we could. The weather was amazing, the resort spectacular, and the sights incredible.

Got a bit too much sun while waiting to check into our room. Oops!

The gorgeous view from our balcony.

Infinity pool...bit chilly so we stuck with the beach and the larger heated pool.

Amazing stretch of beach along the peninsula.

We took a trip to the city of Tulum. Unfortunatey, so did the Mexican President (there to announce the building of a new international airport in the region). So the security was in full force....armed guards all over the place and most of Tulum was closed off. We only got to see about 1/5 of the ruins. I was bummed!
