A year ago today, we were arriving in Mexico, for a week of sun and relaxation!

I feel so grateful we were able to take that trip, and especially, that we got to do it with our “otra familia”- Gina, Steve, and Luca!

I know quite a few people who’ve taken vacations to Mexico or the Caribbean this winter, and I feel so happy for them! I love seeing their photos on Facebook! It’s cheesy, but I feel like I can take in some of their joy when they share it.

One of my friends came back from Cancún in January and I asked him why he didn’t share any photos of it on Facebook, to which he replied that it’s not really his thing. I thought about it, then felt like an ass for asking in the first place. I knew that about him, and duh, when I went to Mexico, I hardly told anyone I was going, and definitely didn’t share any photos on Facebook (instead I recapped it for WEEKS, here, ha!) – I didn’t want to make it super obvious I was out of town!

So, while I do like seeing those photos on social media I TOTALLY get when people don’t want to share. To each their social media own.

I am excited we get to take another “big” trip this year – to Alaska! Then after that, I bet our trips will stay in the continental 48 for a bit… and probably mostly be to see family and friends. Ha!
