Mr. Fix-It and I LOVE to travel. Fitting trips and vacations into our lives is high on the priority list for both of us. If you've been following along for a while you know that we visited many beautiful places in 2011.

Each of those trips were wonderful and amazing in their own way, but I have to admit that I've been hopelessly craving some lazy time by the beach. There is something about napping on a lounge chair, swimming in the ocean, and finishing a book in a few short days that is unbelievably satisfying.

When Mr. Fix-It asked me how I wanted to celebrate my 30th birthday, my answer has been the same for months: I want to lay on a beach for a few days. And guess what? As of this week, IT'S HAPPENING!


I AM SO EXCITED! This year has already been a complete whilrwind of activity, and I swear I'm literally jumping out of my skin to completely unwind, breathe in some salty sea air, and feel the sun on my skin. (GAH! Can't wait!!!) A few days in Mexico have never sounded better.
