The first week of February we traveled to Sayulita, Mexico for a little vacation. It was our first time to Mexico, and we really enjoyed ourselves. The change in culture was very refreshing, the food was delicious, and we had lots of time on the beach relaxing.
We went down with some friends from Seattle who make camera straps. There were eleven of us altogether, and we stayed in a huge six bedroom house called Casa Concordia. The house has an incredible view of the town and the ocean, and sits up on top of gringo hill.
Ironically we only drank Pacifico.

Casa Concordia is the orange house.

Cool dude.





Save the polar bears.

Going to get more water.


We went exploring on an ATV for an hour.

We arrived home from Maui just in time to catch the winter storm. As I write this it’s only 20 degrees outside, and tomorrow is supposed to be even colder. Hopefully our sun-kissed skin will survive the cold weather.
We had a great time on vacation, for the most part. We did somehow manage to bring the stomach flu with us to Hawaii. We were fortunate to be asymptomatic on the plane, but Lindsey and I were both incapacitated for about 24 hours shortly after arriving. Once we made it through the saltines and chicken noodle soup ritual, we got started on the vacation part of our trip.
We spent most of the week by the pirate ship pool, watching Avery explore the water. He had a great time and so did we. It’s amazing how much he’s changed since our trip last year. Lindsey and I also had plenty of date nights, along with one extremely yummy dinner at Roy’s.
