The time we got away for a little Vitamin D re-charge. We chased iguanas, marveled at the Ancient Mayan Ruins of Chinchen Itza (say that 10 times), swam in a Cenote (aka sinkhole) where we learned Mayan human sacrifices used to be performed hundreds of years ago (egads!). We ate far too many chips & salsa, drank cervezas and lots of pina coladas. My 7 year-old won for the second year in a row a bottle of tequila at Bingo, had dinner with a crocodile just inches away, developed some new freckles and over all had an amazing relaxing time.

Missing the west coast, summer and these people.

While in Florida for Spring Break the only images I managed to take with my "big camera" were a few beach shots, jumping on the hotel bed and on the airplane ride home. No Lincoln Road in Miami, no SeaWorld and no Disney photos. I'm okay with that though because sometimes you just need to take a break documenting your life and instead just live it. I've been thinking a lot about how I am going to go forward archiving and creating my own personal photo albums. Curious, what do you all do with your photos? Do you print them out or create photo albums online?
happy valentine's day
Hope your day is full of sugary treats!
our family through tara whitney's eyes | personal
Since we are homebound for yet another snow day (grrr) I thought I would use my time wisely and update this blog with the family photos that we recently had taken by the fabulous Tara Whitney. Tara is a photographer whom I have long admired for how she captures families as they are 'right now'. I reached out to her once we knew we were going to be on the west coast over the holidays and luckily she was able to make a trip to Palm Springs while we were there. As you can see it was a lovely day and I'm so happy I made that call because its nice to be in photos with my family and not just on the other side of the lens.
