Love this place!

This weekend we were lucky enough to have a visitor, our friend Lizard! We took advantage of one of the last few days that Grand Teton National Park is plowed, but closed to car traffic, and took our road bikes for a spin. Can't think of a better backdrop or better company!

Spring Break - Santa Barbara finale!

In Santa Barbara we invited a bunch of friends and fam to join us for Trevor's birthday celebration (and Marco's too which was a few days later). Good times everyone!

Birthday celebration night and mustaches galore!

I was Vanna White for "Trevor and Marco Jeopardy"

Jim, Sarah, Tim and Rob getting in the swing of things

Just wanted to show off my heels, not sure when I will ever wear these again, but aren't they awesome? : )

I don't know where we found this guy, but he sure was a chick magnet!

Trevor had a really good time at his birthday party.

Thank god we had El Jimador there to rope the Golden Stallion that was running through the beach volleyball court!

Anna and Marco soaking it in on our final beach walk the next day.

Uncle Tim catching the last of the sunset waves.

Goodbye Beach House and Santa Barbara...fun times as always, can't wait to return!

Spring Break - Santa Barbara

We finally made it to Santa Barbara and the beach house and amazing weather and friends!

Anna and I demonstrating our awesome boogie skills.

We had a crew out in the water soaking it all in...MP catching a wave, Trev bobbing along behind her and Marco, Anna and I cheering from the boogie section.

Our nightly ritual of sunset margs on the top deck.

Our biker gang ripping around the hills of Carpinteria...
MP, Trevor, Anna, Marco and me.

A little pose/stretch at our destination.

Look at this deliciousness....couldn't get enough of the farmer's markets.

Can you say fresh-squeezed...mmmmmm.

Not a bad spot for our daily beach volleyball games!

Trevor and my mom hanging tough.

MP, Anna, Marco and me at the Santa Barbara Farmer's Market.

Getting excited for our bike ride home!

Looking like one well-loved, very appreciated and much-used Beach House!

Now that is the sign of a good day!

Spring Break - Vegas!

So we continue on...destination Santa Barbara, but what just happens to be in between the Grand Canyon and the beach? The monstrosity they call Las Vegas. So we decided to take advantage of a little city life, met my mom (who had some work there) and lived it up!

Here is the Grand Canyon sunrise we caught at 5am. So worth the sleepy morning.

Look at this beauty, we just tried to soak it all in.

Then off to the Hoover Dam! What an amazing piece of man-made work. It was incredible looking over the edge and 726 feet to the bottom....Trev was content taking the photos.

We have arrived.

Our luxury digs. At least we are well-protected.

Trev and my mom!

Room party!

Out on the town...okay, not really, but out at the MGM.

This is how we spent most of our time, soaking up the rays poolside with loud dance music blaring and lots of ogling other people...that is why I have my Vegas shades on.

Hot stuff and palm trees.

Trev managed to fit a round of golf in too. A desert course all to himself, not bad!

Spring Break - Desert part 2

Our next stop...the Grand Canyon! Can't tell you how nice a little sun and heat felt after a long cold winter. We decided to go on this 6-mile hike to a place called Skeleton Point which turned out to be awesome. It was steep and pretty and very jump-for-joy worthy!
