There is a catch. We drive. 1500 miles. Yeah you heard me right! Everyone loads up their trailers or motorhomes or tents into cars and drives. We then camp in a R.V. park on the beach. From the time we head south to when we return home is two weeks. Jeff and I are currently on the every other year plan.
And of course here are a bunch of photos.
Feliz Navidad Erik
Claire, Bridger, Wakely and Ryland
Megan hated the first hour or so on the beach but then warmed up to the idea.
Claire's sea shell collection.
Tidal pools...like mother like son.
Andrew
Fisherman Ray
Its Casin! The close waves were just right for the younger kids to boogie board.
Uncle Randy, Jeff and Joe. I don't think any topic is taboo with these three. They could solve a good chunk of the worlds problems if they could just agree ;-)
Heidi is a yoga instructor and would lead a class in the mornings. Namaste!
Most days are spent at the beach but we will go downtown to the market too.
Feeding pigeons at the cathedral.
LaKay in the market.
I love the taco stands, I just don't eat at the one displaying a pig head.
But I do stop and pick up fresh hot churro's.
Sandi is in her element negotiating a few deals.
Jeff with Pablo. Pablo has a big 'ol grin on his face because the previous day he sold 1 bracelet to Jeff (for Claire) for the SAME price a few minutes later he sold 4 bracelets to Sandi.
The one meal the group has together is Christmas dinner potluck style. Every year the LDS missionaries serving in the area are also invited. This year there were 20.
Marissa had a good sampling.
Jake made strong work and loaded up.
If you are a growing teenager like Taylor obviously you will load up at the dessert table.
The ever adorable Kembree and her Aunt Molly.
Chris, Whitney, Shawn, Dean, Chris and Alex.
The official game with the Mazatlan group would be hearts (karaoke is going on in the background).
