We final tore down our shed and built a new deck; we cooked out tonight and eat burgers outdoors. There is something to be said for not being directly on the ground! Decks are great.

Demolition Days
Well....here we are....Elizabeth finally convinced me to "paint" the other rooms in our house. 
That little paint job has turned into a full house remodel! We are working on every room but the house except the kitchen and the TV room. WOW this is a project! I think Beef was really surprised when she came home Monday to see the house turned completely upside down with an inch of dust on everything we own. Poor Nilla Bean has been in day care everyday this week and boy she is tired! We brought her home tonight and she crashed on the couch and hasn't moved.

we have taken thus far. You can see the "before" pictures (with test paint on the wall), Day 1 (Tuesday) and Day 2 (Wednesday) pictures. They have done an awesome job so far, but they got the wrong paint...they bought the "regular," not the No VOC Paint, so we are working that out now. I look forward to showing you the finished products soon.

Our last-minute Cancun Vacation
Well....its Super Bowl Sunday and we just got home from
sunny Cancun. We had a great time and stayed in a wonderful hotel, the Riu Palace. We arrived Thursday at noon to a fantastic room with a great view of the ocean. We enjoyed laying by the pool and the "All-Inclusive" food and drinks the resort had to offer. The temp was perfect...not too hot and not too cool. Thursday night, we went out to the big discotec, Daddy O's, with the staff of the resort. Daddy O's was also all-inclusive (notice a theme). Friday was great...we did NOTHING....laid by the pool, laid on the beach, laid by the pool, sat at the swim-up bar, took a nap, went to dinner, and then scooted ou
t to Margaritaville, Carlos & Charlie's and Pat O'Brian's. Saturday was our adventure day. We took a 75-ft catamaran to Isla Mujeres; on the way there we stopped for an hour long snorkel tour. We had lunch on the beach and then rented a golf cart to tour the island. The ride back to Cancun was great, as you could imagine it was.....all-inclusive......better yet they had a "couples contest," involving balloons, which we WON. In a weird twist of fate, it was election day in Mexico so all of the night clubs, discotecs and bars were closed, so our night ended with a great dinner and a walk on the beach.
We are glad to be home to the Nilla Bean, but look forward to going back. I know two things; it will be soon and it will be ALL-INCLUSIVE!
