Man, do I love America…
Sometimes it takes leaving the country to have a full appreciation for what you have at home. That being said, we had the most amazing time with my mom & new family. We stayed in an incredible villa with an ocean view that (literally) brought me to tears. My mom’s wedding was beautiful and private (there were only 6 of us there). And, the service was incredible. I’m one of those people who can just be on vacation. I don’t need to run around and keep myself busy, and this vacation was perfect for that.
Everything was just perfect… Until it wasn’t. We ended up making two ER visits. One in Mexico & One in Seattle upon immediate return. Max ate a rogue nut & had a severe reaction in Mexico (like blue lips, and all)! And, after spending the night in a Mexican hospital (with almost no one who spoke English) which made us have to stay an extra day, we returned to the villa only to have me slip & fall. Some severely torn ligaments in my foot & ankle later, we’re back in the US (wearing a big sexy hospital boot) and remembering the good times. We are glad to be back home!
Here are some shots from our vacay…
That was our trip to Mexico in a nutshell (though, we’re staying away from nuts of any kind for a while)… the good, the bad, and the ugly. But, aside from the ugly, it was a pretty amazing trip! Thanks mom & michael, for bringing us out and letting us celebrate with you.
