It was so awesome to just be there relaxing in the HOT HOT sun. I am 12 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit fat (to say the least...) especially around all those skinny chicks in their bikini's. The morning sickness from this pregnancy has been little much and the sweet (NOT) smells of Mexico got to me a bit, but despite all that we managed to have a great time.
Most of our time was spent just laying by the pool/ocean and watching all the crazy people here for spring break. People watching is such a riot...especially when they are hammered! Fortunately the Hilton is closed to guests only so we were pretty isolated from the rest of the crazy's out there.
My cousin Melissa and her friend Michelle where also here during the same time so we decided to take them to Chichen Itza one of the days on the lovely bus tour. We had a great time and lots of laughs. Melissa was chased by the crazy little Miyan men with very LARGE wooden statues of certain male parts proclaiming that they were "true Miyan size". It was hilarious to see her run. Also, the little children weren't going to take "No" for an answer when it came to buying trinkets and they certainly got the best of Michelle.
It was very sad for me to see how they had let the locals almost overtaken the ruins inside Chichen Itza. Their chatter and constant hounding (not to mention their messes) really changes the experience for the tourists....but it's Mexico...what do you expect?
We were fortunate to have wonderful parents who were willing to take care of Scoots while we were gone and he had a blast being spoilled to death by them the entire time. We were able to Skype with him every night from the local convenient store which made being away from him a little easier for all of us. Thanks to Jama Lori and Jama and Jampa Reed for taking such good care of him while we were gone!
