Time for some R&R!

Is everyone over Christmas? I started taking everything down on the 26th! My son could not believe it but I just wanted to get everything put away, cleared out and cleaned up. Saturday was so balmy here (70+ temps!) so I really enjoyed being outside and getting all the decorations down and packed up so hubby could put them away.

Next on the adgenda is our annual "get away" to the tropics.....so on February 16th we're leaving New Orleans for a 5 day cruise with my sister and her husband. Destinations are Cozumel and Yucatan, Mexico. We've been to Cozumel so many times that there's nothing we haven't experienced there so the day we're in port David and I have decided to shop, eat, and shop some more. Sister and her hubby are going to swim with the dolphins. There are some great outdoor restaurants there that we enjoy sitting at and just people watching....a wonderful (free) pasttime!


I'll be sittin' on my hiney here.....

Doing some shopping .....



Maybe eating some tacos in here....




Taking a little spin around the island on this....


Then coming back on board and sitting around the pool deck.....

I can't wait!

    Oh I am so jealous. We are going to Costa Rica in April and I can't wait, either. I love cruises. We have done that cruise a few times. Have you been to Chichenitza? (sp)
    Our weather here has been close to 70 degrees, too. It was hard to be in the Christmas mood when you feel you need to be gardening. I have blossoms on my hummingbird vine.

    I'd recognize that Carnival smokestack anywhere! I worked onboard Carnival ships and have been to that destination many, many times! Enjoy:-) Hope you have a wonderful time!
