Music Monday – “I like girls that Wear Abercrombie and Fitch/I’d take her if I had one wish/But she’s been gone/Since that summer”

Not sure what the statute of limitations is on me posting songs from my “Tropical Vacation Tunes” playlist after our holiday is over.  But I’m going to keep doing it for the time being (and since there’s more than 52 songs on that playlist, who knows – maybe I’ll post one a week until our […]

10 Random Thoughts About Our Recent @palaceresorts Moon Palace Cancun Vacation #thepalacelife

1. Two week all-inclusive vacations are more than 2x better than one week all-inclusive vacations! 2. Shea and I are big fans of trying new resorts, new destinations and even new resort companies with every trip we take.
