December 2024

Greetings from Brian

View this email in your browser Greetings Friends, I hope you are doing well, and that December is off to a great start.  The temperature dropped last week, and it looks like our stormwater pond has frozen earlier than in recent years.  I think we should be able to get out and skate in the next week or so. November featured more kids' activities.  Sarah continued swimming and had her first meet of the winter season.  She's made incredible progress since the summer.  Peter's hockey season is in full swing.  He's got incredible hustle and falls a lot, but gets up quickly! Our family saw multiple performances this past month.  As I've mentioned before, we spend many Saturday mornings at Kids in the Rotunda.  We also saw one of our local high schools (we have two in our school district) performance of Sussical: The Musical.  It was a unique blending of multiple Dr. Suess books.  Everyone enjoyed it. Thanksgiving was a low-key holiday.  We went swimming in the morning.  Sandy's parents arrived in the afternoon, and we had a German-themed Thanksgiving dinner.  The rest of the long weekend involved swimming, hockey, visiting friends in Milwaukee, and slowing down a little. The last resort I wanted to highlight from my trip to Mexico in September was Atelier.  This resort was adults-only, located north of Cancun, in the Playa Mujeres region.  This was a beautiful property that blended a modern look with authentic touches. Even though I was only at Atelier for a tour, there was a strong emphasis placed on the dining experience.  I'm not sure I remember seeing so many high-end restaurants in a resort.  The highlight is Maria Delores - a Michelin Guide restaurant.  I even noticed the mini-bars in the rooms were stocked with a wider variety than normal. A few other highlights included unique and colorful art around the property.  In addition, there is a golf course right next door.  And like many other resorts in this area, a nice beach. I'm not one to typically reflect on the past, but 2024 was another terrific year for helping you plan your travel.  Thank you for your confidence and support of Blue Sea Vacations. Looking ahead, it isn't too late to book a spring break trip, but you are starting to cut it close.  For summer 2025 and beyond, now is a great time to get started. I hope you have an enjoyable holiday season doing whatever it is that makes you the happiest.  I'll be visiting family in early January, so we'll skip the newsletter next month.  See you in February.
