The place to go when it’s cold, dark, and rainy here in Seattle. We had a great vacation – stayed in a house in Sayulita, Mexico (just north of Puerto Vallarta).

You can see more photos over here.

Jay’s uncle Steve just sent a bunch of old family photos that he took and scanned. There are some amazing photos of Jay’s family on vacation in Palm Springs in 1968. Here’s one of my favorites:

Thanks uncle Steve!

Snow Vacation 2009

Blackcomb Mountain, BC

For the first time ever, Jay and I went on a winter “snow” vacation instead of a winter “sun” vacation. We just got home from a long weekend at Whistler. While not entirely injury free (we are both trying to learn to snowboard, and both had some falls on Saturday), we did have a lot of fun. This set of photos are from the day we went up the mountains on the lifts for some tourist activity. They just built a “peak to peak” gondola for the Olympics that goes between Blackcomb and Whistler mountains — it was quite a view.

We were joined on the trip with Jen, John, Colin, and our friend Jesse (who was John’s snowboard friend, since the rest of us are still beginners).

Hawaii, way back in June

I’m catching up on posting some photos, so here’s some of our vacation shots from our trip to Hawaii back in June. We spent the first four nights in Maui (two nights in Lahaina and two nights in Hana in a yurt!), and then took a small plane over to Kona on the Big Island where we met Jay’s family for five nights at Kona Village.

As promised, here’s a first set of photos from New Zealand. These are photos of beaches around Auckland, including Muriwai and the island of Rangitoto.
