a la mexico

huzzah! time for another winter escape... it's too bad that i can't call it a spring fling, even though it's april... it's grey and cold and snowy and awful, which i suppose makes it all the better to escape from, yes?

this time the family (mom, dad, brother, sister) and i are heading to the baja peninsula to celebrate my sister's graduation from high school. oh the benefits of having younger siblings... we'll spend a day or two in cabo, but most of our time up the coast in la paz.


we'll spend the week relaxing on these beaches...

swimming with these creatures...

kayaking in these waters...

taking in these vistas...

dancing in the salsa clubs of this city...

and watching our fair share of sunrises and sunsets.

as excited as i am for the beaches, sunshine, good food and lack of work, i'm most looking forward to spending a full week with my family, away from everything. i honestly can't remember the last time we did that- i think it was when we took a similar trip to mexico to celebrate MY graduation from high school. eons ago, i tell you.
