Mexico

Well, we had a great time in Mexico! We met Mara, John, Scott and Terri in Isla Mujeres. (An island across from Cancun). It was beautiful there, the sand is white (it's made of broken up shells from the reefs) and doesn't get hot in the sun. The white sand makes the ocean a bright tourquoise blue color, it's beautiful. It was a nice place for Bryson to play in the ocean because the reefs around the island cut down the surf so there are hardly any waves. Bryson loved the beach and ocean, we couldn't get him to stop eating the sand (I can't imagine it tasted very good, go figure!). He was obsessed with the golf cart we traveled around in, he pointed at all the other cars and said "car" and he would wave at other people in the golf carts. One morning he woke up and got my hat, his hat and then headed to the door and pointed and said "car"! He met a little mexican girl about his age on the beach one day and they played together, she shared one of her cookies with him. Bryson of course practically shoved the whole thing in his mouth and then reached for her cookie! The weather was great and the food there was wonderful. At our hotel they gave us freshley sqeezed orange juice every morning. The trip home didn't go so smoothly, we were stuck on the airplane in Mexico for two hours before we took off, to have the airplane checked and Bryson had a bit of a melt down. The delay caused us to miss our connecting flight so we didn't get home until 1 AM (we left our hotel at 7:30 AM). So it was a long day especially for a little one. I think Bryson did a great job traveling overall, it certainly isn't easy with a 1 and a half year old. So, it's good to be home, but unfortunately I've caught another cold (I think I've only been healthy 2 weeks over the last three months!). I'll put a few videos of our trip on drop shots this week, so check it out!
