And Punxsutawney Phil says...

6 more weeks of winter.
Booooo. Don't love it. And I am certainly not loving all of this snow we are getting! Are our ice-related accident back in December, I have had my fill of snow and ice for quite some time. {Good thing we probably won't have to deal with it next winter!}

Since we're all already longing for warm weather anyway, why don't I go ahead and show you some pictures from the cruise we took last month that we took with our friends Jonny and Liz...?
The four of us in Key West...in pants and sweatshirts. That day was only ONE degree above the coldest temp on record in Key West. And let me tell you, 41 degrees feels a lot colder from the back of a moped!

First Day-at-Sea...it looks beautiful but it was still pretty chilly...definitely better than being at work though!


Snorkling in Grand Cayman...



Our ship Carnival Freedom at the port in Ocho Rios, Jamaica



Have you been to Jamaica? I love LOVE loved it. {However, if you're looking for more of a touristy place, I would recommend Grand Cayman} Our tour guide Cheap Charlie showed us so many things that you wouldn't get on a conventional tour and he answered all of my obscure questions about Jamaican culture. {I love learning about culture/history and I love the Caribbean. That region has such a rich and interesting history.} I'm not gonna lie and say I was completely comfortable the entire time but everything ended up being fine; it was definitely a positive experience.

Jamaica again....Cheap Charlie took us to a semi-secluded beach which was so nice and relaxing

Obviously, I took way more pictures but there's some of the highlights for you. Hope you have a super fabulous day and stay warm!

  3. Next year you'll be in Sacto and only have to worry about snow and ice if you WANT to go up to Lake Tahoe! :) It just rains a lot in the winter, kind of like Seattle, but no snow! :)
