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.

Annual Holiday trip to San Antonio

Our family tradition is to go to San Antonio on Christmas Day to eventually celebrate my mom's birthday on the 28th. Things have been adjusted obviously now that there are little ones in the picture & my work schedule that doesn't acknowledge 'holidays' like other professions.

We stay at the same place every year, the historic Menger Hotel.
