vacation: mexico

last week my mom and sister visited. we had a great time. all t-e-n days. i wished they were here longer! really. we went poolin', ate yummy mexican food, explored casas, hit EP for a few days of shopping, laughed laughed laughed. great time. anyhoo, one day at the pool christian graced us with his presence. we had so much fun, it felt like a vacation.
and i got an idea.
how 'bout a vacation at home? we do live in mexico after all! two or three days: no work, no phones, no commitments- just like a real vacay. go to the pool all day, go golfing, play tennis, get massages and facials, go to movies, go out for tacos. i think it should be a yearly tradition.
i've got cj convinced, we should have our 'vacation' this month. anybody up for a mini vacation?
mexico here we come (are!)

Great idea! Now the hard part getting Derrick's dad to be OK with it. Derrick hasn't been anywhere since Christmas and won't be able to go home with me in July if it doesn't rain on the ranches.

Rachelle, that is a very, very cool idea. I think I will have to figure out how to make that happen. Thanks for the inspiration!
