Tenerife - Part Tres

Alternate Title: TGIF Tenerife Style

When you're on a holiday (fancy name for vacation!), every day is Friday, which means frosty beverages. There were many drinks, some more brightly colored than others...

(On this trip, I discovered a previously unknown love for mojitos. Delicious and deadly!)

 

This drink was on fire when they brought it to the table!

Tenerife - Part Dos

In celebration of Kate's birthday we went to the Spanish version of Medieval Times. More grog and Spanish than when I went on my middle schoold field trip!

Happy Birthday Kate!

Booming Announcer's Voice: CASTILLO SAN MIGUEL!

 

Try not to be too jealous of the fabulousness :)

Tenerife - Part Uno

The mountains were amazing (we don't have any of those here in Holland!)

 I was excited about the black sand beaches, until I realized that mostly meant rocky and dirty. They were still pretty though!

 

 (Please ignore the random sunbather in this picture!)

 The beaches had stone sculptures scattered everywhere:

The water was beautifully blue and refreshing:

And there was a pirate ship sighting:

What to do when your flight is delayed due to strikes in France?

 

Airplane yoga,  of course!

NaBloPoMo

November is national blog posting month. So, in an effort to be a more consistent blogger (and to please Kelly and Leesers who get really excited when I post!!) I have accepted the challenge. I'm not guaranteeing anything exciting or life-altering, but I am promising 30 posts in the next 30 days. For those of you keeping track I've posted 26 times since I started this blog. Last February. Go big or go home! And yes, I purposefully didn't post about Tenerife yet so that I'd have some material to work with. I'm tricky like that :)

Happy Birthiversary!

My sweet puppy is 5 years old today! I still remember bringing her home from the Humane Society - she was all slobber and fur and puppy breath. Now she's just all slobber and fur.

This is the very first picture that I have of my Lucy Goose. Who wouldn't have taken her home?

Happy Birthday Lucy! Even though I'm not there I still love you lots and I'm sure you're being spoiled today (hint, hint Auntie Kelly!).

Today is also Kelly and Shawn's 9th wedding anniversary. Crazy! (p.s. They dated for 5 years before they were married - you do the math!)

And all they have to show for it are two clever, gorgeous, perfect little girls!

Congratulations, I love you both very much!

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

Whoop whoop! One of the many benefits of my new job is a week long October break. I'm heading to Tenerife tomorrow morning with Michelle, Heidi and Kate:

Girls so cool that they have to wear sunglasses at night!
