Great Mex

New Years eve and day were pretty uneventful at our house.

We had quite the horrific travel experience on our way home from Hawaii 

{I will spare you the details}

and we were completely pooped.

Luckily, James' office was closed on Monday and we had an extra day to lounge around.

The weather was incredible, so we got together with several friends to enjoy the peninsula.

We have heard about Great Mex for months.

It is a real hit among the long timers but we just couldn't convince our newbie selves to give it a try.

{Sad, but true}

We finally braved the little hole in the wall and boy are we glad.

There is nothing better than just good ol' real Mexican food.

I am still craving the black bean tacos doused in salsa like you wouldn't believe.

Afterwards we enjoyed the sun with friends.

And even though the sting of the post-vacation work week was upon us,

 I was thrilled to be home with my main squeeze.
