mexico, by polaroid.

April 29th 2010

regardless of loving our fuji instax, we will always have a special place in our hearts for our original polaroid camera. and we decided mexico was a special enough occasion to use a few of our last precious exposures during our trip (p.s. beyond thrilled the impossible project has had success bringing back polaroid film! just hoping they can bring down the expensive price tag one of these days so we can afford more.)
and another p.s…
exploring cabo together on a rented scooter was probably the highlight of our trip. and it fed josh’s dream since high school of owning his own harley davidson motorcycle (i kid you not, he first added it to his christmas wish list when he was 17. who would have thought?) but seriously, we’re sold on how fun those little scooters are. we still love you, beetle, but we kind of want one.

i like this photo.

April 28th 2010

while going through our photos from cabo, i keep coming back to this one.
i just love everything about it. from his outfit (go red sweat band!) to his
adorable tennis face (so serious!) i just love everything about this man.

more from mexico…

April 28th 2010
a few more instax mini’s from mexico…

josh and i discovered the BEST little taco stand in cabo. (photo above).
pulled pork, cheese, lots of grease…. oh my gosh. so good.
we even went back for more the next day!
(and if we would have had our way, we’d have gone back the day after that, too.)
local food beats expensive americanized resort food, any day.
who cares if we got a little sick? it was unbelievable.
