our family has been traveling to mexico, on a regular basis for nine years. i’m guessing a dozen trips, split between mazatlan and cabo – and, our friends the Blands have gone on almost every one of those trips with us. it’s ideal with our kids all being such good friends. needless to say, mexico is truly a home away from home. for most of those nine years, we have done the same old things, on every trip. we’re in a south of the border rut.

however, this past trip we shook things up and tried a couple of new things… call us wild & crazy!

first, we ventured over to the gorgeous cabo marina, and we took an underwater adventure on the cabo submarine!

for the past week we have been in cabo san lucas.

if you have followed this blog for a while, you already know our family is a fan of mexico…
{see here, and here}

and, i am obsessed with instagram. an iPhone photo/social network app.

…my friend caroline from the armelle blog sent me an email a month ago sharing information about followgram. she also included a link to decor8’s post that included the following information:

“Do you use Instagram? If so, Followgram is an excellent companion.

what or where is boracay, you ask…

from my friend wikipedia, it is… “an island of the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards numerous times. Boracay was awarded in the “Travelers’ Choice 2011″ by TripAdvisor as the second best beach (out of 25) in the world. Boracay made a debut appearance on the Top 10 Islands list in the Travel + Leisure travel magazine World’s Best Awards 2011, ranking fourth.”

and how did we get there?

well, we spent a night in manila…

earlier this month, it was my turn to go with husband to the philippines. he had two back to back work trips only a week apart, and he was going to be celebrating his birthday alone in asia – we couldn’t have that! …so, i went along!

we have had such a busy month that the trip now feels like it was last year. funny how time can mess with your brain.

i think most mothers of the world would agree with me on this – but, i don’t mind the travel-time when traveling alone. meaning: without children. when we travel to the philippines, it takes 3 flights no matter how you do it, no matter what cities you route through = three.

we look forward to halloween big time around here. i go into costume-planning-frenzy at least two months before. the decorations go up in september, we usually have a big festive party.

and. i just love this *time of year. while halloween plans are underway, i’m scouring magazines for the latest-greatest thanksgiving dinner recipes + i’ve started christmas shopping. it’s like holidays on crack in my mind, and i kinda live for times like this.

so. with all that said, there was no way we were going to miss the annual october festivities in salem, massachusetts.

known for the famous witch trials, the town lives it up this time of year. total tourist trap, mixed with history.

we chose the most beautiful weekend to visit our nation’s capital.

this l’il trip is one of many that is on our “while we live in boston, bucket list”.

…because we were sight-seeing on a 3-day holiday weekend, we joined masses of people from all over the world to visit the heart-touching monuments and memorials that scatter washington, district of columbia. washington is one of the best places to visit if you are interested in taking tours. due its historical significance, there are many places like Tours4Fun that offer tours that could teach you a lot about this country.

…i think having a family makes me so much more aware of patriotism.
