In an attempt to cope with the (Four feet of!) snow outside I started looking at these photos from our Mexico trip last year.












I can’t decide if these photos are helping or hindering my quest to beat the winter blues.
*Mat Kearney. We listened to the Undeniable album on repeat while in Mexico. I have been listening to it this week and dreaming…

Vacation destinations should DEFINITELY have you do their photos. I have NEVER felt like I wanted to go to Mexico, and now I feel like I want to go to Mexico. Also, I want that white dress. SPECTACULAR. And can I have your hair too? KTHANX.

Comment by Swistle on January 7th, 2009 @ 3:36 amMy roomie is planning a trip to Mexico this summer and I might go with her. I was wondering if you could share with me where you guys stayed! Funny how I was planning to ask you anyway and you went and posted pics from your trip as a lead-in.

She Likes Purple’s last blog post..Let it roll
Comment by She Likes Purple on January 7th, 2009 @ 8:51 amThose photos are beautiful and are giving me warm weather envy. We’ve got 2.5 feet of snow in the front yard and about 2 million gallons of rain falling outside. Mexico definately sounds better

Domestic Extraordinaire’s last blog post..Is it really Tuesday?
Comment by Domestic Extraordinaire on January 7th, 2009 @ 8:56 amSadly, no. Sigh. There is nobody to watch the kids and traveling with all five of us is too pricey. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

Comment by hillary on January 7th, 2009 @ 9:11 amThose are some of my favorite pictures of yours! Probably because I’m a huge fan of sand and surf (and a pretty Angella and Honey)!
Camels & Chocolate’s last blog post..Shameless Wednesday Confession: On Fire
Comment by Camels & Chocolate on January 7th, 2009 @ 10:11 amMy hometown keeps getting buried with snow, which just makes me all that more blissful that we moved to Portland when we did. We did get snow this year, but that is super rare and anyway, let’s all go pitch our tents on that beach right now. Tropical ocean views can’t be beat.

Comment by Sharon on January 7th, 2009 @ 10:24 amJust read your twitter (msbaby) and came to take a look. What fabulous pictures! And the two of you look so very happy!
Some friends of ours just took their yearly cruise to Cozumel and they didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as last year because they all got seasick. ICK!

Comment by Jan on January 7th, 2009 @ 10:33 amLooks like heaven. I think you just need a few of those fruity drinks with a cute little umbrellas in them. That’d make you feel better right? (well, until morning!) ; )
Such beauty there… really.

(took me 3 tries to type that dang word)
All the pics are beautiful, but that one *le sigh* you are beautiful.
Comment by Rachel on January 7th, 2009 @ 11:46 amI NEED a vacation, too. It will NOT STOP RAINING HERE.
It may be time to build an ark. An ark that can perhaps get me to Mexico. Or Hawaii. Or anywhere that will serve be a drink with an umbrella.

Comment by Mrs. Wilson on January 7th, 2009 @ 1:55 pmSnow is a fact of life in the frozen tundra that is Canada. I got out of my igloo today for a while. Spent way too much time at the bank , where the manager was fascinated with what I do for a living.

Comment by witchypoo on January 7th, 2009 @ 4:53 pmOMG that looks like THE most amazing holiday. It’s summer here where I am (New Zealand) and I’m even jealous! It must be the palm trees. I don’t have many palm trees in my city.
Leaf, probably…’s last blog post..The year of independence?
Comment by Leaf, probably... on January 7th, 2009 @ 10:16 pmSuch beautiful pictures of the scenery and you and hubby. Where I live (in sunny Florida), I’ve only seen snow 4 times in my life. Not counting the time I went with the youth group to Galinburg. It was absolutely gorgeous. Yes, I would like to visit someplace where it snows and take thousands of pictures, but I don’t think I could live there. Give me the beautiful white sandy beaches anyday.

Comment by Michele on January 8th, 2009 @ 12:17 amIt’s not even that cold where I am but I found myself looking at my Hawaiian honeymoon pics the other day. It usually does help me get out of any season related funk. I yearn to go back.

Kami’s last blog post..There’s a reason
Comment by Kami on January 8th, 2009 @ 11:05 amIt’s so fun because I saw your tweet that you were missing Mexico and I could totally see your photos from that set. I remember looking at them and marveling over them a year ago.
I miss it, too. For you.

Comment by Mrs. Flinger on January 8th, 2009 @ 2:03 pmI came across this quote today and thought of you:
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” ~ Albert Camus
You are such a vibrant person it is amazing you don’t melt the snow around you! Hang in there.
Comment by Red Lotus Mama on January 9th, 2009 @ 3:08 pm[...] February my husband and I brought our three kids to their grandparents’ house and spent a week in Mexico. Together. With no children. It was the first time we had both been away from them for longer than [...]
