Yes We Can . . . Cun

Two weeks later my tan is gone and I need a reminder that warmer weather does exist.

About a month ago a doctor told me that his official recommendation for me is to move to Miami. I hate the cold weather. Hate it. Yes, I know. I think it's a little weird that I did my undergrad in Utah. Moved to New York City which isn't exactly warm either. And then moved back to Utah. I know. I get it. But I still hate the cold. And I still think I have a right to complain. And when Georgia was having unseasonably cold weather over the break . . . complain I did. Thankfully, the rest of the family - including Dad - complained too. Dad was so tired of being cold that he checked weather.com for the closest, warm place. Orlando was out. Miami was just as cold as Orlando. So onto Mexico it was. And boy were we thankful!

80 degrees. Bathing suits and sundresses. Mexican food. Cold drinks. A tan. My idea of heaven.

Don't worry. Shannan toured the kitchens - and she wouldn't stop talking about the ovens.


S'mores for New Years Eve appetizers . . . then room service :)

The sisters decided this has to become a New Years tradition. We can't wait til next year.

Jealous. I love the cold, but vacations should be full of sun!

I hate every moment in the cold. Sean went to the cabin this weekend with our friends five hours north (in the snow), it's such a shame I have to work all weekend and miss the snow!! ;) Don't go to Miami because you will never be able to do your hair, come to LA, the weather is always perfect...minus this week.

My life will be complete when I get an invite on one of the Brooks vacays.

I am with you 100% Krissy. I also give the cold two thumbs down. Mexico is the perfect escape. I love that your doctor prescribed warm weather for you. You have to move somewhere warm...doctor's orders!!!

I'd say that's a good tradition to start. I'm sorry your tan is fading.
