Here are some fun pictures from my trip to Mexico. I REALLY WISH I WAS THERE RIGHT NOW!
So, this is rather random but I thought it was pretty funny. When we were in Santa Barbara, Matt saw this knick knack in our hotel room and wondered, would that fit on my foot. And no - he wasn't drunk...
Matt and I got to spend a fabulous long weekend in Santa Barbara over Thanksgiving. Pretty sure that is where I want to live once I become a millionaire :)
We went horseback riding a few weeks before when we were in Arizona for Matt's cousin's wedding which got us both excited about riding through the hills on the coast. Here are some photos.
Let's not talk about the fact that the horse got my foot stuck between two branches on a tree a re-sprained my ankle. It made for a crabby and long drive home but thankfully it healed w/in a week and all was good again in the world. Next big activities: kayaking, cross-country skiing and I may even try downhill skiing again this year! We rented a place in Tahoe so it seems like I should at least try, right?
Aren't they gorgeous? Thanks Matty :)
Show us peace.
This is me and Matt hiking at Mcnee Ranch State Park - on our way up Montara Mountain.
So I worry and stress out about nearly everything. You probably think I am over-reacting and most of the time, I probably am. However, there are some things that are perfectly legitimate reasons for being worried. This is one of those things.
This is how Matt spent his climbing trip to Peru. Here he is on the summit of Mt Tocllaraju. It takes my breath away just looking at it. Eventhough it's stresses me out, I am very proud of Matt's accomplishment (I know I couldn't do it).
Matt's dad Mark, Uncle Jon and his Grandpa Joe (92 years young) came into town this weekend. Matt's Uncle Jon competed in the Escape from Alcatraz race today. Watching the race was so much fun and very inspiring. Jon did an incredible job - we were all very impressed and proud of his hard work.
Here are some fun photos from our weekend:
This was the first weekend in over a month that Matt and I were both in town. We definitely took advantage of it. We walked along Ocean Beach where there was an anti-war protest happening and then went to Golden Gate Park to check out the Bison (yes they are in the park!) and the Botanical Gardens.
On Saturday night, we saw the SF Ballet. I had gotten tickets from Matt for my b-day. The SF Ballet is the oldest ballet company in the country just shy of it's 85th anniversary. Matt not only stayed awake during the whole thing but he said he actually enjoyed it. It also gave us an excuse to get dressed up and go to dinner.
To top it off, I ran 9 miles on Sunday as part of my training for the SF Marathon, July 29. Needless to say, I was not happy about the run and I complained and whined about it for nearly an hour before Matt shoved me out the door and sent me on my way. I was much happier once I got home and not too sore today...
I am back from Mexico and now all I can do is live vicariously through my photos. With the exception going out for dinner and drinks. This was my view for 7 days.
While Jon, Jenny and Matt were more productive - they actually went diving a few times, I did nothing but ready trashy novels/magazine, sleep, listen to my ipod and drink strawberry daquiries. Oh, I did run one day and Jen and I got massages :) Does that count as productive??
Here are a few snapshots of our trip. I'll put up some additional pics in a few days of things like our dinners, drinks at a cave bar and my own Andy Warhol pic of Jon/Jen/Matt/Me. I know you can't wait for that!
I have decided that my ideal job would be to work one week and vacation the next week. Who's hiring for an every other week sales person?
