My Summer Vacation

Well this is a bit overdue.

Hola Mehico!









A few weeks ago me familia went for a week-long trip to Cozumel, and I am currently working on a word that means both "frekkin sweeet" and "don't make me leave."

I didn’t want to come home at all. In fact, I can't believe I showed enough sense of responsibility that I came back to reality instead of storing myself away in a coconut in order to live on the island (no not that one) a few extra days. I not only gave myself a pat on the back for being such an adult, but I also gave myself a slap on the ass. I deserved it.

Here’s a summary, in picture form, of an average day in Cozumel

==


My day would start with a little of this (the coffee was frekking delish)











I would then take said coffee and go to my balcony and look at this while waiting for eek (younger sister) to get ready:





Breakfast time! (eek)



What i got to look at while eating breakfast:









It was exactly like being in Cleveland.



After breakfast it was time to slow things down for about 8 hours so we could lay on the beach.

"Beeches on the Beach"

(l to r) eek and kathy (older sister)









(l to r - Daddy-O kicking back and mom in the H2O)









When we would cramp up from laying around so much, we'd do a whole bunch of this:

(l to r - me and eek)











Saw a lot of these:





We never got bored but if we had gotten bored, Eek and I agreed we'd pass the time by bench pressing Kathy.


We made time to go to the other side of the island for some exploring and more picture taking.

Here’s (t to r) eek, dad, and I on the beach.

Here’s our family portrait (l to r - kathy, mom, dad, eek, me)

Everything was going great until eek was attacked by something

And my hair started looking like Nick Nolte's:


Then we’d head back to our room to shower before dinner.

Holy hell! It’s an elephant made of towels! Thank you housekeeping.


After dinner it was sunset time:

And drinky time:


What can I say except Mehico, I salute you.

There's Some Good News, And There's Some Bad News

Good news: I'm back! (no, no....tears of joy are unnecessary).

Bad news: I just saw my last post about Bonnaroo and almost cried a little because I'm not going. That's right, I'm not going. (I have two tickets if anyone wants to buy them *cough*).

The round-the-clock music for four days? Gone from my life this year. The favorite trip of the year with my favorites? Ripped from under my feet. The giant mushroom to cool off in? I'll have to install my own.

To say I'm bummed would be a vast understatement.

But don't fret, my loves! Save your pity for someone who needs it because the reason I won't be enjoying myself in Tennessee (which by-the-by, the farm on which Bonnaroo takes place was once owned by my great-great(-great?)-grandparents. Totally weird.) is because I will be here:



Oh yes. In t-minus two-and-a-half weeks my crazy-ass family and I will be sitting on the beach in Cozumel for seven glorious days.

Exactly.
