What happens in Mexico...



Oh, don't worry.

I won't share all of the dirty details.

These are just a few highlights from our trip:

Wonderful food (most importantly)
and drinks.
Daily (sometimes twice) runs and walks on the beach
with my incredible husband/best friend
finding treasures in the sand.



An amazing snorkeling excursion on a catamaran
that ended with a sunset sail.
Shopping/cruise ship watching in San Miguel.
Relaxation.
Rest.
Seven whole days with this man
by my side.
Bliss.
