Day 23- Favorite Vacation

About a year and a half ago, Husbo and I made a trip to Mexico.  This trip was my favorite for a couple different reasons. 

1) it was the first trip that Husbo and I had taken out of the country and the first real "vacation" that we took together.  We had been to California a couple of times, but that was usually for a weekend trip and to visit family.  This was a trip we took for us and only us.  :) 

 2) this was the trip that we got ENGAGED!!!  So it was truly memorable and such a fun time. 

Husbo and I were there for about a week.  We relaxed, we swam, we rode wave runners, we had a BLAST!!! 

 

After we had been there by ourselves for a couple of days, my parents, aunt, uncle, cousin and my cousin's then boyfriend (now fiance) joined in on the fun!  It made the trip that much more special, because we got to celebrate with family! 

Husbo and I also took a trip to Cozumel and visited with an old friend from college that I hadn't seen in 5 years. 

We had such a great time!

Hope you have a fantastic Monday. 

XOXO,

I ♥ The Osborns -- and NY

This past weekend I visited my sister in NYC!  I do this trip at least once a year, and sometimes by myself and sometimes with my family.  This time was a loner trip.  We did the usual -- watched movies, shopped a little, ate a Lucali's with Jay-Z and Beyonce *, and our new yearly tradition -- went to SIX FLAGS!!!! 

Last year, when we all went to NY to celebrate Thomas' 40th birthday, Mariel and I left Husbo, Thomas and the rest of the Maymi Clan behind and headed out to Six Flags.  We had so much fun last year, we decided that this years trip to NY would revolve around going.  And THIS year we had an even more fun time, and have decided that this will be our new annual tradition.  Next year they are opening up a new ride -- THE GREEN LANTERN.  It sounds and looks AWESOME!!!  {You're standing, not sitting}

Okay, back to this year...we bought this thing called a flash pass {read about it here}, but the short of it is that you get a pager and they let you know when it's time to ride.  You literally get to cut in front of everyone to ALMOST the front of the line.  We got to ride all the big rides twice and our favorites about four time.  {For those of you wondering, El Toro and Superman are the faves.}

And I apologize, but I have been to NY so many times, that I didn't take any pictures really, except for at Six Flags.  So here they are....oh I forgot to mention that we made it Mustache Monday...ENJOY

Where should we go next???

I also usually don't ever see famous peeps, but this time we saw Jake Gyllenhaal AND the back of John Mayer's head. {Mariel saw the front and by the time I knew what she was talking about, he had passed and I missed that mug of his...oh well}

I had so much fun, can't wait for next year!!!  GREEN LANTERN HERE WE COME!

Have you ever been to NY?  And if so, what's your favorite thing to do there?

*we didn't actually eat with Jay-Z and Beyonce, but they were sitting two tables away and no one was sitting in between us.  So now we're best friends. : )
