Viva Mexico!

This post is long overdue as our trip to Mexico was over a two months ago, but we've been struggling to find calm and sanity during this slew of winter holidays, bitter temperatures, snow storms, icy roads, school closings, and work responsibilities. It's true, sometimes you need a vacation after your vacation!

On December 10th we left the frozen Minnesota tundra for warm and sunny Cancun, Mexico. We were there for a whole ten days with Baba, Uncle Bruno, Auntie Alicia, and Cousins Ayla and Zev. Special guests Baba 2 and Zeide 2 also joined us. What a treat!

During our extended stay at the Villa Del Palmar Resort (we never ended up leaving the resort grounds), we swam, ate, and lounged around to our hearts content. Lena essentially learned to swim in the resort pools (there were 6 of them), where she wore out her goggles and 6 different bathing suits. Clara and Maia also did a fair amount of frolicking in the water, and both (though mostly Maia) were doing a bit of underwater diving here and there.

We also swam in the ocean, played in the sand, danced the salsa, and most importantly, spent time together as a family (without freezing!).
