My husband left to Mexico today :(

Doug is taking a much deserved surf trip with some pals of ours, Ryan & George. They flew into Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Mexico and are ultimately going to be in Saladitas. Funny note that Doug shared with me: Zihuantanejo is where Tim Robbins ran off to in Shawshank Redemption.

Here is a map of the area he'll be in. VERY south of the border, so hopefully away from all the riff-raff happenings near the border and in Mexico City.
I found this photo online. Our pals he's with have been there before and have been surfing internationally as Doug has, so if it had their stamp of a approval Doug was in!

One more photo I got online of Saladitas. I'm told its very rural. No hoity toity American-style resorts!
Can you believe this will be the longest we've ever been away from each other (nearly 6 days...a Thursday-Tuesday trip)!? I think the longest was on a few business trips years ago to California and during a long fishing trip he took with his dad to Louisiana last year.

Needless to say I'm working Friday-Sunday, so hopefully the time for me goes by fast.

Surfing in January

We took advantage of New Year's Eve by heading down to Galveston so Doug could catch some waves. It was very foggy & pretty chilly. Thank goodness for Murdoch's being open and so close. I was able to distract Asher there, by building sandcastles, & by going up and down steps to the Seawall. Pretty disgusting the amount of manowar on the shore! We had to be very careful.

We found daddy!
