A year ago today, we were arriving in Mexico, for a week of sun and relaxation!
I feel so grateful we were able to take that trip, and especially, that we got to do it with our “otra familia”- Gina, Steve, and Luca!
I know quite a few people who’ve taken vacations to Mexico or the Caribbean this winter, and I feel so happy for them! I love seeing their photos on Facebook! It’s cheesy, but I feel like I can take in some of their joy when they share it.
One of my friends came back from Cancún in January and I asked him why he didn’t share any photos of it on Facebook, to which he replied that it’s not really his thing. I thought about it, then felt like an ass for asking in the first place. I knew that about him, and duh, when I went to Mexico, I hardly told anyone I was going, and definitely didn’t share any photos on Facebook (instead I recapped it for WEEKS, here, ha!) – I didn’t want to make it super obvious I was out of town!
So, while I do like seeing those photos on social media I TOTALLY get when people don’t want to share. To each their social media own.
I am excited we get to take another “big” trip this year – to Alaska! Then after that, I bet our trips will stay in the continental 48 for a bit… and probably mostly be to see family and friends. Ha!

Enjoy Alaska! I think it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The coastal trail in Anchorage was just gorgeous.
And Mexico looks like it was fun!
I’ll have to see if I have time to check it out when we are there! 🙂
If Anchorage is where you’re going, the city is small relative to Chicago and the coastal trail is walking distance from almost wherever you are. Especially in summer when it’s this lush little rainforest – I hope you have time, it’s one of my favourite memories.
We fly in there (obviously, lol) but then we’re going someplace else for the wedding 🙂 But maybe I can check it out on the way out – it sounds fantastic!
Wow, I can’t believe it has been a year since your trip! I now associate you with Tulum because I hadn’t heard of it before you went and recapped it all.
I don’t share that many trip photos on Facebook, but I guess I blog them all, so that’s basically the same thing. People’s weird comments on Facebook (you know, those people that you’re friends with but who aren’t super good at Facebook conventions/etiquette) start to bug me, so I just don’t give them the opportunity to annoy me in the first place.
I can’t believe it either! I said to my mom this morning, “Know where I was a year ago today?” (on the beach in Mexico!)
I’d rather put trip pictures on the blog too, even though less people see them. It’s easier for me to find stuff there.
LOL! I have a few of those people too. But they are blocked from seeing my stuff 🙂
I am so jealous of your trip to Alaska! Cannot wait to hear and see pictures about it.
