Viva Mexico!

Well we took the kids to Mexico and my family came with us, Todd, Ann, Greg and Trev. Plus our best friends Tom & Sue and their two kids Riley and Kaitlyn joined us. We agreed on Playa Del Carmen on the Caribbean side. We got a great deal but a one week All Inclusive is just not long enough, hee hee hee. Once again I was burned in more then one way as I'm still breast feeding Alexis so my alcohol consumption was non-existent. One day I'll get to drink again, hee hee hee.

It was a challenge traveling with two little ones and THANK GOD we had extra hands to help us out. I think I would have lost it if it hadn't been for my family helping us out with all the gear we had.

The weather was perfect durning the day but this year at night the temp dropped down to 14 degrees some nights and that is just too cold for us or anyone really when your in Mexico. Oh course it was warmer at night in PV so maybe next year we'll go back to the Pacific side.

I have to say it was a very different trip from even last year. Having two is challenging but having a toddler makes it very challenging. Alexis is still nice and easy, just like Nate was last year in PV.

Excursions were out of the question this trip =( the tour operator didn't recommend that I take the baby to Coba so we'll have to do that another trip.

If we ever go back to Playa del Carmen we want to stay in one of the tiny little hotels right in town with all the action. Our hotel was a massive 5 star resort that was way to big for us especially with a stroller as we would have to unload the kids and gear to take the shuttle and it was not worth the hassle. I was disappointed with the kids area. All in all the Holiday Inn (3 star) was way better then The Grand Sirenis (5 star)! Small hotel may not have the large selection but you get the one on one name and you get to know the staff and the staff gets to know you and you get better treatment in my eyes.

All in all we had a great time and in one way were sad to be away while the Vancouver 2010 Olympics were on as it was lots of fun even though it was insane! Nothing like having to board your bus to the airport as the gold medal game for hockey is on as it goes into overtime!!! INSANE! But someone on the bus got a text to say we won and it was awesome, we were all hooting and hollering.
