vacation, all I ever wanted!

I'm off for vacation! It's my Dad's 60th birthday and we are all going on a cruise around the Carribbean! By we all I mean my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and Tom! I wanted to take a break from blogging/etsying, and purposely left my card reader behind, but now that I'm here and amazing things have already happened, I wish I could document it for you! Either way, here are some pictures to leave you with.


Of course I brought the old trust watermelon suitcase, and with Tom's matching luggage set (found at Savers on Burnet for $3 a piece, and yes that includes two different sizes of suitcase and a carry-on bag) our suitcases were unmistakable. Seriously, we travel in style. And I'd like to see someone mistake my watermelon suitcase. Hah!


Tom and I were having a drink at a German "beer garden" playing reggae music when a dude came by offering caricatures. We said no, but then when we saw the guy stumble off down the way, we changed our minds. This is the masterpiece he gave us. Tom's beard is a little... low... but he really captured the different highlights of my hair. And the setting sun and palm trees. Except it was nighttime and we were no where near a palm tree. Either way, Truly something to be framed! and I'm not kidding.

Be back in a week!
