I can't believe that it has been almost a whole year since I have blogged, and I have missed it. I enjoy blogging, it is a journal for me and I have slacked in my journal writing and my blogging. I said to my self, "Self, I need to start blogging again. It is something I enjoy, much more than facebooking." So this is my fresh start to start anew again.
I wanted to blog about our vacation to Rocky Point. We decided we really needed a vacation after Joel got our of school for the summer. Joel thought of renting a condo on the beach where the kids could play in the sand and swim til' their heart's content. So we rented a condo on Las Conchas beach and it was perfect. It was more than perfect. The beach and sand was right out our back door. The condo we stayed in was quaint and sweet. It was perfect for a small family. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
We had a ball! We swam in the ocean, picked up a million seashells, (which I think are the most gorgeous things on the whole earth), rode the banana boats with the kids, saw dolphins, and went to the acuario (aquarium) which I was impressed by because they had sea turtles that you could touch and a sea lion. You could feed them but we didn't. We went to a different part of town called, "Cholla Bay" and that was really neat. The beach was rocky and Preston and dad walked on the rocks and the kids just loved it. I found some neat shells over there too.
When we left Mexico we were sad. I found myself being more grateful when we got home. The people down there were so nice and humble, especially the people we came in contact with. Joel enjoyed visiting with the vendors that would come around to sale things. One of the vendors was offering massages for a pretty decent price, and so we took her up on it. We had massages on the beach right on the porch of our condo. It was so relaxing and nice to hear the ocean. I realized I have way to many knots in my shoulders. She really worked on those. Ouch!
We met all kinds of people near us who were from Tuscon, who had been coming down there for thirty some years that said they have never had any issues or problems so we felt safe. We are always cautious travelers anyway, but it was such a great experience for us, everyone was so nice. We want to go back as soon as we can!
