Happy Thanksgiving

Every other year my family heads down to Mexico for Thanksgiving. This year we went to Puerto Vallarta, and it was such a great week! The weather was perfect everyday, 88 degrees, light humidity, hardly a cloud in the sky. We stayed at an all inclusive resort, the Vallarta Palace, which was fantastic! You could get anything you wanted to eat or drink day or night, the staff was awesome and it wasn't very crowded so you never had to wait in lines or stake out chairs by the pool early in the am because there was plenty of room for everyone. We mostly hung out at the resort every day, hitting the beach in the morning, and pool in the afternoon...but did manage to leave the resort one day to do the zip line, which was great...but not as great as relaxing on the beach and by the pool 12 hours a day. Sucks to be home, but looking forward to going to CA for Christmas in a few weeks.

Amazing!

November 4th, election night, A. Fears and I head to Piece in Wicker Park, saddle up at the bar and wait for the results of this historic election to roll in. I, for one, am super excited about Obama being elected. I think it's not only a huge step forward for our country, which seemed to be falling so far behind...but it's refreshing to have someone young and forward thinking, with new ideas in office. Here's hoping for a brighter future with Prez Obama. Now, bring on the dirt about infighting between Palin and McCain! :)

O Hallow's Eve '08

This year for Halloween Krista, Erin and I headed over to the 'Haunted Sanitarium' on Fullerton. Jimmyzzz and A. Fears were working inside as freaks and goblins so we had to check it out...and let me tell you, it was the scariest haunted thing I've ever been through! They did a great job at making you feel disoriented, claustrophobic, on edge and just all around creeped out. We will definitely be back next year for more scare.
