Mexico Vacation!!

We left for Mexico on Monday Feb. 22nd.  We had to wake up at 3 am to catch our flight at 6:20 am.  Ugh!  I hate early mornings.  But, we were able to have the afternoon to hang out by the pool.  

We got some pretty views of the sunrise.

Waiting in the airport with all our luggage.  Josh and Tanya and kids came in soon after us.

This is at the airport, outside, about to get in our shuttle to the condo.  

            On our shuttle--we were pretty packed.

Bella was not happy, because she wasn't feeling very good.  She gets airplane sick and car sick and I forgot to get some dramamine for her.  She was OK on the plane, but halfway through the ride to the condo, she threw up.  She was feeling better once we got out of the car.  Poor thing.  

Waiting to get checked in.

The great view from our room--up on the 5th floor.

We ate lunch around the pool and the kids swam.  I myself was tired, so went up to the room to have a nap.

After swimming, we got cleaned up and headed down to the beach.  I love the cruise ship in the background.  

Walking down the beach.

      We walked down the beach to eat dinner at another condo's restaurant, a couple resorts down from ours.  I tried to google it and I think the place is called Club Cascadas de Baja.  Anyways, we get to sit out on the beach and eat dinner under the moonlight.  It's pretty neat and the food is pretty good, too.  We've been there a few times.  

It's nice because the kids can play in the sand while the adults can sit and talk.  After dinner, we headed back and went to bed.  It was a long day.  

Tuesday Feb. 23rd

We are not ones who like to wake up early on vacation.  We like to sleep in, and we have kids that sleep in.  So, after waking up, we wanted to head down to "The Office" to eat breakfast.  Josh and his family and Jim and Georgia were already there, finishing up their breakfast.  So we ate by ourselves. Jim and Georgia came and sat with us for a few minutes before heading back.  

Walking down the beach to the Office--our favorite place for breakfast.  

The kids eating french toast with fresh fruit and smoothies.  

Playing on the beach for a bit

We pretty much swam all day--we ordered lunch around the pool and relaxed and read. We also got virgin pina coladas and a new virgin mango drink that we fell in love with during  happy hour.

Jim, Georgia and Josh--covered up with towels.  

Cute kids all cleaned up and ready for dinner.  

Noah, Caleb, Hannah, Luke, Paige and Bella.

We tried a new seafood place for dinner.  "Mariscos Las Tres Islas"  Their food did not disappoint--they had really good coconut shrimp.  

Me and Bella who got a bit sunburned under her eyes.  

We took a taxi back to the condo and Georgia sat in the front seat and turned up the volume on the radio.  All the kids were dancing, so they called it the "Party Van"

Back home and ready for bed.  He didn't have a bed, so we made him a cozy little bed on the floor.  Looks pretty good!
