Me. And Ari. And parrots.

On our last family vacation to Mexico, Ari and I spent a day together at Xcaret. It is part water park and part zoo. Sort of. It is a fantastic place with tons of things to do and if you ever find yourself in the southern part of Quintana Roo, I highly recommend it. The very first thing we did when we got there was swim the mile long tunnels. Yes, we did the whole thing! We caught and released butterflies, patted manta rays, scritched horses and watched a Mayan twirly sky dance.

We also got our picture taken with these adorable parrots:

Which, for Xmas, from memory, Ari made into a painting for me, which I love:

If anyone that reads my blog can remember what this little icon is from, you have known me a long time.

Cute, eh?

Pretty much my proudest moment

It’s Jill, then me, then Colleen, and then Holly. And I WON a bowling game for the first time ever in my life. Not only that but I was playing with women that grew up bowling and that don’t suck at bowling at all. Not only that but it was the first time I ever bowled higher than 100.

Ha ha! And they laughed at me for taking that picture but I knew it was an important, momentous moment of my life.

I. Won.

Of course it was downhill from there. But who remembers the second game? Or third? My victory dance is truly something to behold, not that it is likely to ever happen again.

I’m on my way home now, on the train. Back to reality. And while I do love to hang out with my ever shrinking Windsor crew, I miss my love every second I’m away and I’m glad to be heading in this direction.
