For the last several years we’ve tried to reduce the stresses around the holidays by taking the kids on a trip. We’ve done the cruise thing so we now find ourselves in Puerto Penasco, Mexico.
Last year a good friend and coworker shared her condo with us as a gift and we loved the beach and ocean setting. We have now been back three times and this trip we brought all four adult kids.
Today started with a 6am departure and a 4 hr drive into Mexico. Now it must be said that the scenery leaves much to be desired, unless you like (a lot) desert plants and trash. No one got sick and we arrived in time to check in, unpack and grab some lunch at La Cuerva.
After filling ourselves and going on a scenic trip (a wee bit lost), we went down to the beach and slept in hammocks until sunset. Then apples to apples game came out until people got hungry again, followed by snacks and a movie (The Santa Clause).
Having to change condos to one we were unfamiliar with meant a smaller master bed, which meant we had to change the sleeping plans. But now everyone is sleeping, I connected my portable wireless router up and jacked in with my Droid-X to write this brief update for friends and family. And yes my cellular service is off (airplane mode).
Good night and God bless everyone.
