Instead of a typical holiday season with mounds of presents, we decided to limit the gifts and book a trip to Mexico. What an excellent decision! We spent four nights at the Hyatt Regency in Cancun. The weather was gorgeous!
It's amazing how easy it is to get out of bed when the sun is shining and you don't have to go to work. Every morning we rose early to catch some rays before filling up at the free breakfast buffet. Once the sun wore us out, we took a stroll in the city for guac, quesadillas and cervezas. Then it was back to our balcony for games before heading to dinner and calling it a day.
It was time well spent swimming in the ocean, reading in the sun and ordering drinks at the swim-up bar. I love Christmas!
Today Barack Obama became the President of the United States of America. Goosebumps rise whenever I think about the signficance of the day. We have been waiting for this change for too long. I have an overwhelming sense of hope and I am proud to be an American!
Today should be a National Holiday.
