Dream Getaways - Mexico

I would really love a vacation right about now, so I'm living through photographs.
Among my resources for finding hotels that look to-die-for is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a website dedicated to boutique and luxury hotels.
One of my all time favorite hotels is La Amada Hotel in Cancun. Private plunge pool? Yes, please. But its not just the amenities that have me swooning over this place. Its the natural, yet modern, architecture and design. It looks like the whole place was just plucked out of a West Elm catalog.

For romance in the ruins, Hacienda Uayamon looks like perfection. Picture those crumbling walls all lit up with candles.

Still to come: Greece and the Carribean.

HGTV Green Home 2010

This year's HGTV Green Home is an absolute dream. No really. This IS my dream.

Modern farmhouse? Check.
Wrap around porch? Check.
White kitchen and dark wood floors? Check and check.
Sunlight pouring in? Check.
Industrial details mixed with southern charm? Let's just get to the pictures already and you'll see for yourself!

I'm all ready to move in!

Sex and the City TWO!!

I am so excited, I can barely contain it!
I will be not so patiently counting down the days until May 27th!

Hiking at the Cascades

This weekend we made a trip down 460 to the Cascades with Kaiah and some of her friends. We were so proud of Kaiah and her good behavior off leash! The dogs must have all run three times the four miles that it takes to get to the falls because they would run ahead of us and come back, again and again.

The trail is shaded, so the water is FREEZING cold. How wonderful for our Kaiah.

Fishing for dinner?

Kaiah was even able to convince Anny that water isn't so bad.

Kaiah slept and slept for a few days, recovering from her adventures. We will definitely be doing this in the near future.
