Ottawa has been so cold this January. Some time in Mexico can cure the winter blues pretty quickly. Katriina and I along with her sister and husband and mother and father all flew from our respected parts of the country and met in Mayan Riviera on a nice resort. The focus of this vacation was to spend time with family and relax. I naturally took my camera along anyways and snapped a few photos. Here are a couple photos. Tomorrow you get a a whole album.

Tis the Season
Ikea has a banging deal on Christmas Trees again this year. A live tree for $20 and a coupon as well? Not too shabby. Last year we made a timelapse video of us dressing the tree and we did it again this year. This might be a new tradition.

Sand Dunes in Ottawa?
Google Maps is great. We spent an afternoon location scouting here in Ottawa and while trying to find a forest, we stumbled upon something way cooler. A mysterious beige blob. When we showed up we were super surprised to find out it was actually sand dunes. In the middle of the forest. No lake to be found.
Also a super cool tree.
