Paradise

Here’s the question of the day:
What I could do with $2100?

Answer: Plenty.

Shopping.
Home improvement.
Travel…
Ah travel, how I love thee.
For just a bit more than $2100 my family could fly to Cancun, spend five nights at an all-inclusive hotel and still have enough to fly home. Though I can’t understand why we would want to fly home.

twenty-one hundred dollars…

I could lounge by the pool and swim in the ocean.
005
I could pretend I know more Spanish than I actually do.
I could climb to the top of a Mayan temple and then remember that I’m terrified of heights.
004
I could eat really bad American chain restaurant food and really good local food.
I could go horseback riding in the Sea of Cortez.
001
(Doesn’t Mr. Frantic look tan?)
I could get more great pictures like this:
mayan gold
(See the majestic ruins of Chichen Itza behind her?)
Sigh.
It is not to be.
Instead I will will be handing over $2100 to Terminex so that any pest that even looks at my house will die a slow painful death.
Because preventing wood eating bugs from reducing my home to insect feces is its own type of paradise.

Isn’t it?

    Loved the pictures! Especially digging for gold. Also, some awesome vacation shots! We just paid a whopping amount of money for Termite Treatment and we’re using our $2100 for a backyard makeover, considering it floods weekly. We breed mosquitos too. What fun!

    Thanks for playing along!

    Remind me why you don’t want to “live in harmony” with the pest? J/J!

    Love the last pix!

    If this shows up twice its because my computer went flakey on me. :)

    That is a precious picture of her “digging for gold” :) We went horseback riding in Jamaica and loved it, I so want to do it again.

    Precious. And the money spent is a necessary evil. Sorry about that.

    Yowza! That is a lot of Bug killing. Sorry you didn’t get home improvements or travel.

    Be blessed.
