Anniversary Getaway

For our two-year anniversary, we booked a quick weekend getaway to Rosarito, Mexico, which is about 45 minutes from our house. I had been many times before - my parents' friends had a condo there when I was growing up and we'd go each summer. My best friend Shauna would always come along (hello, secret margaritas at age 15! ) and though the condo has long since been sold, Shauna and I still try to get down there for a bestie weekend at least every couple of years. For the most part, beachy Rosarito hasn't changed since my first visit 18 years ago, and it sort of feels like my Mexican home away from home. But, Flavio had never really been, so it was exciting to experience it with him for the first time.  It was a short but sweet trip, and we enjoyed every second. We relaxed by the pool, took walks on the beach, delighted in a massage, and laughed over drinks and great food. Here are a few photos, if you'd like to see. 

Update: Just realized these photos are mainly of food and drink. We can see where my priorities lie.
