I was starting to worry we wouldn't make it on vacation after Jackson got sick and we weren't able to board him, I caught a nasty cold, and Ted obliterated his toe nail thanks to the corner of a wood bench he dropped on it. Somehow everything worked out thanks to help from neighbors and Ted's toe not becoming infected and a speedy recovery for me.
Even with a few clouds the weather was beautiful and warm. Our hotel was awesome with us landing the best suite in the house on the ground floor with the beach right outside the sliding doors. The kids had a blast playing on the beach, (where you could walk forever), swimming in the pool, pigging out on strawberry slushies, and, of course, some fishing off the beach (no luck there). From our beach you could see whales, porpoises, fish, and manta rays all leaping out of the water, very, very cool! The water wasn't safe for swimming in our area but that didn't make the beach any less fun, in fact I think all the waves made it even more fun.
Thursday we celebrated my Dad and Jan's birthday a little early so we could participate before leaving Friday afternoon. We had cake, too much to drink, live music (very interesting), and tons of laughs.
I have tons of great photos to share so keep an eye on facebook or join up if you aren't already cause there will be some stuff you don't want to miss!
Big Hugs and Kisses from all of us,
The Sfikas Family
