just got back from a fabulous vacation to Mexico with 6 of my best friends from college.  The photo above pretty much sums up the view we had for 5 days, complimented by lots of yummy fruity drinks and an overload on delicious Mexican food (is there such a thing?!). I am so thankful to have such beautiful, caring and adventurous friends.

p.s. update: Hurricane Rick had passed so we had great weather with sunsets worthy of many, many photos (to come!) and only 1 awesome, refreshing thunderstorm.

Viva Mexico!

We would like to express a very special thank you to all the firefighters (from all over the country) working so hard to keep everyone safe in Southern California.

And a thank you to the person who invented 3 day weekends…

Watch the sunset at the beach. Go for a bike ride. Eat ice cream. Make home made popsicles.

Enjoy the outdoors and the extra hours of light on these long lazy days…
