We'll be taking a trip soon south of the border...with 4 young people, my man and I and another couple. I love the place we stay in with it's villas sprinkled along the cliff side. The beautiful beaches, tide pools and rock formations are plenty to keep children interested and active. Great food for great prices.
It will feel so good to get some sunshine into our system. Winter blues always hit about this time of year.
If things were different, I would move to sunny California in a nice little neighborhood close to the beach, but that's not happening any time soon. It's northwest living for us until we aren't obligated to be here anymore.(kids and ex spouses)
Once a year seems to work for us getting away and soaking up some rays as winter draws to a close...but what I wouldn't give to live it day to day.
To be able to garden on my patio and in my yard.
To watch children and animals play.
To feel absorb the casual atmosphere as warmth provides the opportunity to stroll along the sidewalk in shorts or a sundress.
I wish for that as I sit in the chill of a Northwest home, piling on layers and my blanket continuously.
Retirement being so far away, I guess we'll keep on keepin' on.
Mexico, here we come...
