{Love Fix} BFF's Wedding in St. Croix

I know I've been MIA, but with good reason.  I was on vacay in St. Croix for my girl's wedding. 
(Yes, it's ok to be jells, I understand)

Of course there were lots of pictures being snapped and it just wouldn't be right not to share.

The cutest flower girl who slept through the ceremony but was ready for the reception.

 

 We had a great time. 
The wedding was beautiful, the couple was happy, the weather was perfect, the food was delish and the drinks were chilled.

Congrats Nika and Jamal!
Love you.

 

 

{Travel Fix} Cancun V.2

As you can imagine, I took a ton of pics while on our vacation.  So of course I want to share some more with you.

Baby girls in bathing suits - need I say more?

 

 Jaelyn was so excited about getting burried in the sand. 

 

 

Dad and Jaelyn went for a parasail ride.  So much fun for Jaelyn. 

With all the sun and fun, Wynter got lots of beauty rest.

 

We had such a fun time.  It was so special for us to take our babies on a beach vacation.  They had a blast as did we.  Already looking forward to doing it again next year.

{Travel Fix} Cancun V.1

I'm finally home long enough to do a post (or 3) on our family vacation to Cancun.

We had a blast.  It was so great to get away together as a family of 5.  (I love saying "family of 5", it feels so complete)

While in Cancun we stayed at the Gran Caribe Real.  It was a great all inclusive resort.  Perfect for a family.  Plenty of entertainment and an awesome activity center for kids.  2 pools in addtion to the beautiful beach, waterslides and a kids water area with a big pirate ship. 



 

 

 

 

Part of the daily activities was a cooking lesson where a chef would come out by the pool and make a dish.



Seafood Payaya



So good!

 

 

About our 3rd day in, I noticed people drinking this green concoction at breakfast.  So of course I had to investigate and try it.

Turned out to be Jugo Verde or Green Juice.

It was delish, and very healthy.  I had a glass or two with each breakfast after that.

And while I'm on the subject, I will further discuss the resort food.

While most of it looked very pretty, it just didn't meet my expectations.  This was our 4 all inclusive resort experience and I have to say, it was the least exciting when it came to the food.

There were several different restaurants in addtion to the buffet and I have to say, the buffet had the best food.  The fine dining restaurants just didn't do it for me or the Hubs.

The only other restaurant besides the buffet I realy enjoyed was the poolside sandwich and sushi bar.
The sushi was prepared fresh, the burgers were handmade and the sandwiches were great.

Of course, at a tropical all inclusive, the cocktails were fruity, chilled and refreshing.

just a few of the many drinks we tried and enjoyed.

Being Mexico, guava fruit was everywhere, so this was a perfect opportunity for me to add it to my list of new fruits to try. 

I've had guava juice before but never the actual fresh fruit.

To be honest, I was surprised to see what it looked like.  I was expecting a much larger fruit, like a mango or papaya, but the guava was small.

I wasn't sure how to eat it, so I just took a bite of the flesh and seeds. 
At first taste, yuck!
Not my thing.  The seeds didn't help the matter either. They were hard.
I don't even think I had it in my mouth long enough to really get a good taste.

{Travel Fix} Home from Cancun

We've made it home safely from our family trip to Cancun.

We had a blast.

I've got lots of pics to share but that won't happen until sometime next week, because right now I'm in Canada visiting mi familia.

So, until then I leave you with this picture.

Later peeps!

{Travel Fix} Vacation Re-Cap No. 4 (Just pics)

Our fun in New York in Pictures.

Smiles with Lenny. 
He's been standing on the plaza of every Today show taping faithfully for the last 19 yrs. 
That's some serious dedication.

I have had a crush on Ice T since I was a little girl and SVU is easily my fave
show on TV, so you could imagine the excitment I felt when we spotted him on the street.

Another Naked Cowgirl.
A hott mess.
