salsa under the stars.

This video from Lisa and Reed's Tulum wedding (photos here) makes me so happy. 

Nothing beats salsa dancing in the sand with your friends and under the stars. 

 

our trip to tulum.

I'm a little behind on getting photos posted from our recent mexican vacation to Tulum. As I mentioned in this post, it was seriously one of the most relaxing and wonderful tropical vacations we've ever taken. It was really fun going on a beachy vacation with so many of our good friends - the boys could go do adventures while us girls could layout and chat, perfect. We loved every second of it and am so glad that Lisa & Reed introduced us to such a perfect little paradise.
