London Trip Day 2 (June 3, 2011): Stonehenge Rocks!

After a very smooth first day of the trip we were ready to head out to our first road trip. We ended up waking up at around 10 AM London Time and were on the road by noon.

Getting to Stonehenge from London is about a 90-mile drive but the majority of the time is spent just getting through the city and onto the motorway (freeway). Our drive to Stonehenge was pretty uneventful except for having to find a quick pit stop in the middle of nowhere.

London Trip Day 1 (June 1st - June 2nd 2011): Crisis Averted

And so it begins; another adventure through the great unknown. Or in this case a trip over the pond to London for eight days of exploration. The trip to London started easy enough. Jenn and I worked a half-day, and Jenn's Dad picked us up at our apartment and we headed down to LAX for our non-stop flight to Heathrow airport.

Cancun Trip 2010 Day 6 (November 11th, 2010): Burn Baby Burn

It was a day of pure adventure, then a day of pure relaxation, what would our last day hold? The answer was by far the most beautiful day of the trip. We woke up to clear skies and the sun shining brightly. We tried to call for room service but our phone wasn’t cooperating so we went to the Toscana restaurant for breakfast, which was surprisingly really good. Jenn had waffles and I had a mimosa with a ham cheese and jalapeño omelet.

Cancun Trip 2010 Day 5 (November 10th, 2010): We Feel Young Again

After what was a very crazy adventure yesterday both Jenn and I slept like babies. When we woke up we saw to us Southern Californians looked like a torrential downpour. So instead of rushing outside we went back to sleep and continued to try and recover from the previous days festivities. At around 9am in the morning we woke up ordered breakfast.

Cancun Trip 2010 Day 4 (November 9th, 2010): Welcome to the Cave of Wonders

When Jenn and I booked our trip to Cancun the main goal was to go and relax. However we both knew that if we were making the trip to Cancun we might want to venture outside of the hotel walls and go on some sort of adventure. So we both made a point to check out what sort of activities we could do while in Cancun and decided on our second day of the trip to go to the Xplor park for it’s selection of activities including zip lining something we both have always wanted to do. Xplor is located around two hours outside of Cancun in the city of Quintana Roo.

Cancun Trip 2010 Day 3 (November 8th, 2010): If Ice Had A Brother It Would Be The Lazy River

After  our first wonderful day at the Excellence Playa Mujeres we were pumped  and ready for more. Unlike yesterday which was sunny in the morning and  cloudy in the afternoon, today the Cancun sun was out in full force. We  started out the morning bright and early and laid out on our 2nd story  terrace while waiting for our room service to arrive. This morning I  ordered the huevos rancheros with fruit and Jenn went with the pancakes  and bacon.
