Hello Fam!

Here are some photos from our winter Holiday in Tenerife, Canary Islands. We had beautiful weather for our 12 days on the Island. Apparently it was stormy before we arrived and it rained the day we left, but we had blue skies and sunshine! Depending on where we were, it was either T-shirt and Shorts, or jacket and scarf. Such a variety of landscapes and weather for such a small Island! You will see what I mean with the Pictures….without further ado:

And this is where the road ended…

So we drove across the Island to the northern coast of the northern tip

and had a Little picnic of Avocado and guava

and then went for a hike because the road ended agin…

and after a drive through the Anaga jungle, we emerged to a beautiful sunset over la Laguna on Christmas eve. You can see the ocean on both sides of the Island…

We had a wonderful trip – admittedly lacking some Christmas Flair, but a beautiful adventure!

Happy happy birthday to the best mom ever, I love you!
