Rested, Relaxed, Tan, and Back to Work

I've returned from my trip to Mexico and it was fantastic. I had a great couple of days with Fashionista in Useless City for a couple of days before we headed south of the border and the week was capped off by getting some much needed rest and relaxation. We visited the Tulum ruins which were about a 10 minute drive from our resort, the beach at the ruins is by far the most beautiful beach I have ever visited:

Big thanks for the book recommendations that I received prior to my vacay. I didn't get as much reading done this year as last year, but I did finish both The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld both of which were excellent. I think Time Traveler's Wife was definitely my favorite of the two, that was one of those books that you just couldn't put down. I will definitely have to try and see that movie this weekend.

I also managed to get pretty tan while down there, enough so that people at the office have been commenting on it for the past couple of days, which is honestly kind of starting to bug me, cause I don't think I look normal being this tan, but it is kind of fun nonetheless. I'm now contemplating scheduling a short trip during the weekend that bar results come out in October so that I'm not at work when results are announced- in my state they post a list of everyone who passed on the Internet and while it would be fun to be at work celebrating if I do pass, if my name isn't on that list I absolutely don't want to find out while at the office. If anyone has any suggestions of good places in the US to take a short trip please let me know! I've already been to San Francisco, New York City and Washington DC so I'd like to see another city/town.
