crusin', parte uno.

muchas gracias, mexico--we fell in love with you!  what a fun place!

we danced too much...

ate too much... (had the best guac ever made. also ate ice cream twice a day. calcium, right?)

explored new sites....and styles....

watched a rainstorm and full moon from the middle of the sea...

even had one of those tropical drinks with the fruit! (okay, maybe we bought it for the pineapple.)

but the best parts, of course, were the adventures...

more to come on the way dirtier, way cooler part of our trip.

we're back!

rob and i just got home from our cruise to mexico! the weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and i crossed a few things off my bucket list!  this was us on our last day...as you can see, rob was a little bit happier than i was.

more to come soon!

now if i could only get unpacked...

the franklin institute!

rob and i finally took a trip to a place we've been meaning to go to for a long time....the franklin institute!  since i purchased the tickets through groupon, it ended up costing us nearly nothing for admission, too!  (best deal ever.)

we solved some crime at the CSI exhibit (above), saw skeletons on ellipticals (hilarious), and found out that i'm the same height as jockey anthony black!  oh, 4'11"....

rob attempted to surf and pulled some mean 360 turns on the ice skating simulator....

we also went FLYING! (rob more successfully than i)

we even saw ben franklin!  however, nothing beat (haha! lame, i know, sorry) our walking tour of the giant human heart.

(if only i had known this was here before my cardio exam, things would have been a LOT easier.)

rob and i ate too much candy, ran from exhibit to exhibit, and touched everything in the museum.
such little kids we are.
what a perfect day.

(brighter) resolutions

usually my new year's resolution is to stop running late, but this year i decided to go with more practical, attainable goals:

1.  send more thank you letters.
2.  learn of hidden talents in friends.  (i love finding out how terrifically awesome someone is.)
3.  wear more color!

here's to a bright 2012!
