I'm dreaming of a White Christmas....

The closest thing to a White Christmas for me is a trip last week to Tahoe. We Californians get rain, fog, and sometimes warm sunshine on Christmas but not snow. Going to the snow was fantastic! (except for driving in it, of course!) The place we stayed made us feel spoiled, and the weather cooperated with us to get plenty of snow to play in! It had been a long time since I had been in the snow, and it was my niece and nephew's first time.
So much fun!!!


Love eating snow, but snocones...even better!


Taking cover from the snow under the trees


So fun to make a snowman, but boys just love to demolish it after....
Take that Frosty!


Such a cute little snow bunny!

Say 'Hola' to vacation!

Oh the relaxation I had...
I went with my parents and sister to Playa del Carmen for a week of R & R. And boy did I get it!!!
We started out with an excursion to the ruins in Coba. We even got to climb up the tallest pyramid. What a view from the top!
On another day we had a fanastic snorkeling adventure on a boat with a guy named Charlie Brown. Hilarious! He was all of 5' tall, in his late 60's, and full of spunk. He made it so much fun!





But most of the time, I spent doing the relaxing thing. Lounging by the pool, reading books, napping, ordering drinks by the pool, lounging in the palapa, walking on the beach, getting a massage....what could be better?!?!?
The weather was fantastic, and it was painful to come back to cold (and I do mean cold!) weather!
