Smiling Mom

Hubby and I took our first real vaca­tion together since we were married six years ago.  And we took it without kids!!  Thanks to my mom and dad, we were given the gift of time to recon­nect, relax, and enjoy Mexico’s Yuca­tan Penin­sula.  It was gor­geous!!  Hubby deci­ded to blog send daily emails to our family to let them know how our trip was going.  I called this a blog­ging, he did not.  Wha­te­ver.   Since he did the leg work, I thought I’d steal his words and sprin­kle in a few addi­tio­nal pic­tu­res for your enjoyment! 

Mmmmmm break­fast. Nette and I thought we’d go native today and had a dif­fe­rent kind of meal. We, of course got our fresh-squeezed orange juice, cof­fee, and assort­ment of melons, but wait, there’s more. Today we had Motu­le­nos. It’s a fried corn tor­ti­lla top­ped with re-fried beans, three eggs over-easy, ham, green peas, tomato sauce, and goat cheese. Very tasty. Oh, and don’t for­get the sta­ple fried banana (at every meal).

This is the view from where I sit…

The above blog post email made me laugh until I cried.  I told Hubby that next thing we’d know, he’d be taking the iPhone into the bath­room with him and doing a “View From Here”, narra­ting every move.…  Appa­rently I laughed too loud and for too long because moments later he sent out this blog post email to our family loo­king for sup­pot.  Heheehe!!

Nette is laughing at me right now. She says you’re laughing at me, too. She says you think I’m ridi­cu­lous because I’ve “sent like 82 emails since we got here.”  You don’t think I’m ridi­cu­lous, do you?

By the way, this is just one exam­ple of the cool little things they make with our towels every­day. One day was swans, one was Eski­mos and one was these elephants…

For the remain­der of our trip, I narra­ted most every acti­vity Hubby and I did as if I was wri­ting a View From Here. “And here we are, wal­king to our bedroom (eye­brow wag) life is good with no kids…”  “As you can see, this is a pic­ture of Nette put­ting sunsc­reen on, it’s really hot out here!”  “As you saw from the last pic­ture, I was on page 152 of my book, now I’m on page 154…”

I can be SO cle­ver some­ti­mes!! Right?? Hey, if no one else thinks I am, I’ve always got me because I think I’m hilarious!!
