Good morning, dear ones! 🙂 How was your weekend? What lovely things did you discover or create?
I had a great weekend, but a chock-full, crazy-busy, now-I’m-so-tired-I-can’t-think-but-it-was-worth-it one. 🙂
I was able to go hiking with my friend Stacey, stay up much too late talking up a storm with her and our pal Trish, grill fresh salmon and all sorts of veggies with my bro and sis-in-law and a whole slew of dear friends, cheer on my sibs and friends in a marathon they ran today, and meet up with more family and friends for ice cream at Mallard, a splendid ice cream parlor in Bellingham.
Now I’m cozy in my armchair, sipping tea and luxuriating in the stillness and quiet, smiling at lovely memories and planning a new week.
This week is an exciting one for me because I’m heading to Cancun, Mexico for a writing assignment!! I still can’t quite believe it. 🙂 I’ve never been to this part of Mexico before, and cannot wait to explore, meet interesting people, and park myself on the beach for a few hours and do absolutely nothing but soak up sunshine, read a good novel, and rest, rest, rest. This will be my first vacation this year and although it’s a working one and only for a few days, I’m absolutely thrilled to pieces. I promise to take all sorts of pictures and share my adventures with you. 🙂
What is your favorite sort of a vacation? Are you a “happy to turn off the phone and stay home” sort of person, or do you like to head out to new places?
I wish you all a beautiful week!
If anyone will take in Cancun, it will be you, Krista. Excited for you that this opportunity came up! Know you’ll have a fabulous time, and eager to hear how it goes.
I’m actually SO excited for Hawaii – first time. Joanna is super-thrilled. It’ll be a rejuvenating experience. As much as we love travelling it’s crazy how few times we’ve been outside the USA.
How exciting. Enjoy the much needed sunshine after living on the Pacific Northwest:D Cancun is a vibrant and interesting city once you explore away from the hotel strip.
What a great weekend indeed Krista! It’s always nice to catch up with a friend and just sit and chat your mouths off. Even better that you also got to sound time with family.
Lucky ducky! I hope you have a wonderful relaxing time in Mexico! I love a vacation where I can eat and try a lot of new foods! I used to be a stay at home type, but now with kids I want to show them the world and love going to new places with them!
Enjoy yourself, Krista! For me, a vacation is anywhere I can put up my feet and relax… be it in the sun, or a rainy day with a good book. Friends and loved ones are the icing on the cake. Have a great time.
Babe I hope you laze about in the sun and enjoy every second of your vacation! I will miss you but I want to hear all sorts of lovely stories when you return!
So excited for you! Have a lovely trip and don’t forget to RELAX!
Lately I’ve loved LOVED staying home with the phone off and either cooking or enjoying a glass of wine while the man cooks (like right now!) but I hope to have adventures of your sort soon! Lots of love, Corrie
Lucky Krista.., so jealous. Cancun is on my bucket list of places I must see, I’ve heard wonderful things & as a sun lovin’ Aussie, ‘this I must see & experience’ for myself 🙂 Have a wonderful time, rest up, turn off the mobile phone (but take loads of photos please…., so I can turn a deeper shade of green) Have fun!
You’re going to have so much fun! Be sure to share with us…
I love nearly all the Caribbean islands but our favorite is
St. Lucia. Could stay there forever!
I fell in love with the first photo of this post!!! Where was this taken???
Lucky you! I was once in Mexico visiting my friend. I was in Mexico City, Teotihuacán, Puebla, Cholula, Veracruz but not in Cancun! It must be beautiful!
Very nice, those pictures are beautiful!
