Happy New Year
2012
2011 has come and gone. It was not an easy year by any measure. I worked like a maniac and had a lot less time to dedicate to my relationships or to any hobbies. There were family illnesses that caused much stress and we had to put our cat down (rest in peace Chip). But after spending Christmas week in Mexico analyzing the year, the Boo and I came to the conclusion that we are entering 2012 wiser, calmer and more focused on what’s important. So a happy new year is much in the plans. I wish you much happiness in the new year as well!
Mexico was our long-awaiting vacation. Barring the unfortunate experience we had with a rental car and the Mexican police (!), we had a super sweet vacation in Playa Del Carmen. We also made it out to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and to the island of Cozumel. Here are a few Instagram shots from the trip!

A pit stop for some fresh coconut water:
Chichen Itza was fascinating.
A Tequila Sunrise and an afternoon snack:
Reina Roja (a cool bar with all of these cozy nooks and crannies to sit down and have a drink):
