From Sun to Snow...

Its been a pretty busy month for me.  The loss of my 94-year old grandmother was tough.  Work has been challenging (in both a good and frustrating way). And that nasty cold going around knocked me out.  But even with all that, I had the really amazing opportunity to bookend the madness with a couple wonderful vacation getaways.

SUN:
Cabo for 6 days w/ my friend Lily.  She wanted to get out of town during the shitstorm that Valentines Day often can be. I wanted to do absolutely nothing.  It was perfect.  Amazing pool/beach time (finished 2 books!), such YUMMY food, and just a much-needed relaxing time. 


Gorgeous beach...


Cozy by the pool...


Staying cool...

The girls...

SNOW:
A last minute decision, I signed up for the Kirkwood 3-day Womens' Snowboard Clinic.  It was AMAZING.  I really needed to up my skills and these instructors and my fellow riders were both challenging and encouraging. Epic conditions and an AMAZING experience. 


Gorgeous mountain...


Cozy by the fire...

Staying warm...

The girls...(and our instructor, Rodrigo (far right)...hubba, hubba)

I feel I used up my 2011 quota for vacations already! But so many other plans brewing in this head of mine!!!!  Where to next?

I'm sorry you had such a rough month, Susan. You are taking care of yourself and that is always so beautiful and productive. (Hope you get to vacation again this year :P)
