Hola!

Well, I am back from Mexico! Did you miss me? I bet you have! You must have been having withdrawals as it has been a while since I updated my blog. That is Mommy's fault. She SAYS she has been busy, but c'mon, all she has to do is take care of me all day long. How busy can she be right?

Mexico was fantastic! I had so much fun not only being in a tropical paradise, but being surrounded by the people I love. My favourite part was the beach as I just love the sand and played in it a lot! My not so favourite part I have to say was the ocean. Mommy and Daddy thought I would like the ocean as I had already seen it in California and didn't mind it. But on the first day we arrived, Mommy put me down on the beach and I crawled right for the ocean. Well, you think someone would have warned me about the waves. I got the tail end of a wave in my face and boy did I cry! After that, I was scared to go near the ocean and would often shake my head back and forth when someone tried to bring me near it.




Okay, so rewind a bit. The trip there was pretty uneventful. We had to get up super early and arrived at the airport at 3:30 am! Mommy and Daddy thought they would put me in the car seat and I would fall back to sleep, but oh no, I was too excited and didn't nap again until around 6:00 am on the plane. I was so comfortable having a little snooze on Auntie Jennny but apparently I was not in the proper position for take off and had to be moved. This of course made me very upset. The rest of the trip was okay. We had lots of foot room as we were at the front of the plane so I got to play on the floor.

The resort we stayed in, the Riu Jalisco, was very beautiful. Along with the beach, I also quite enjoyed the buffet, especially at breakfast time. I think I ate french toast and pancakes every day for breakfast. (I don't understand why Mommy doesn't make it for me every day at home!?) And the fresh fruit was yummy. I also really liked the kids pool. Grandpa Joe took me down the slide which I didn't really like as I got very wet! But I loved lounging in my pool floaty Mommy bought me. It even had a sun shade. I could stay there all day! I even made an appearance in the adult pool once in a while. (Of course that was preferred by the adults as it had the swim up bar!) The nightly entertainment I could do without though. I would take Treehouse over that any day. Mommy and Daddy were very happy with how well I did on vacation. We would go about our day and when I was tired, I would nap in my stroller. I was pretty happy for the most part. And when I had enough of something, I would let everyone know it.




Now, the reason for this vacation was Uncle Darryl and Auntie Michelle's wedding. Unfortunately though I missed it as it was right smack in the middle of my nap time. So while everyone else was enjoying the wedding, I was in a corner under a palm tree in my stroller snoozing away. I guess the pictures will have to do. Sorry Uncle Darryl and Auntie Michelle...and congratulations! Even though I did not get to see the wedding, I still gained a great Auntie out of it.



All in all it was a great vacation. It was nice to get away for a week of fun, sun and relaxation. I am already planning my next vacation. Hmmm...where to next?

Love Eli
