Winter Break Happenings

Winter break this year was rather eventful. First off was a 9 day trip to Colorado for some skiing, skiing three out of the four mountains of the Aspen/Snowmass (Aspen, Aspen higlands, Snowmass, we skipped Buttermilk). Sadly, MJP's mother didn't bring her camera out most of the time so most shots were taken on her iPhone... Thankfully though, for our second trip of the break she did take it out of the bag and managed to snap some impressive pictures.

You see, my mother is an aspiring professional photographer, and doggone good one at it for that matter. Her website is going online soon and you better believe that I'm going to do my best to advertise it on here as much as I can. 

For our second trip we went to San Juan, Puerto Rico. My father commutes from our home in McLean, VA (D.C outskirts) to San Juan every Monday morning or Sunday night and comes back on Thursdays; for about 10 days my whole family went with him instead of him taking the week off and staying in cold and gloomy D.C. 

Here are some pics of our trip..


couple scenes from out trip. In clockwise order starting from top left: shot of a palm tree on Palomino Island, me and my father on a Hobbie Cat off Palomino Island, couldn't tell you where this one's from, the Fort in San Juan, another palm tree and Palominito Island of the coast of Palomino.

In between those two trips I spent NYE at home and had more than a fantastic time. Soon, an update on the school year so far and my road trip from VA to Babson.

Welcome Back

I apologize for the 32 day long break, I didn't have a chance at all to write during my winter break.

First and foremost, I hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and a great New Years (and an even better NYE). Lacrosse season starts tomorrow and it is currently a frigid 12 degrees and -3 with the windchill, needless to say, I am not excited about that. On the other hand, it has been a while since I played organized lacrosse and I miss it.

After I stop procrastinating and finish my Accounting homework, I'll share what I did over the break and some stuff I'm looking forward to in the future.
