Mexico 2014 (3 of 3)

H and kids

Most of all, we relaxed. Like, really, genuinely, totally unplugged and unwound with no agenda. We don’t do that very often, and it was a beautiful thing for us to get a chance to do that together.

We even got massages! All five of us! The resort had a truly great spa. And the best part about it was that even the spa catered to kids and families. They had an entire spa menu just for kids (so cool!). K & O had had massages once before (when we went to the Dominican Republic with them), but this was Meera’s first time. It was a tiny bit scary how much she loved it!

And I need to mention the Kids Club. We had not planned on using it, but once we were there and the bambinos discovered it, there was no getting them out of the place. They absolutely adored the staff and made lots of friends. I don’t know who enjoyed that Kids Club time each day more — them, or Braydon and me — because I will admit: Braydon and me really loved having some downtime without worrying about the bambinos. Even now, when we talk about our Mexico trip, the bambinos always talk about the Kids Club.

In addition to all of that, I also have to mention one of the highlights for Meera: painting on the beach. I mean, really: painting. And: the beach. That is pretty much a magical combo for our girl. It doesn’t get much better than that! She spent a little time each day during the first part of the week working on a kitty:

And then she and I worked together on a vase on our last day:

That vase is our family’s one memento from Mexico 2014. I am sure it will be with us for a long time, reminding us of that very special week.

Before we knew it we were back on a plane, this time headed north up along the Mexican coast. Even the plane ride out was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful:

What a summer we have had! The Mexican portion of it was really exquisite.

Note: For good deals on all-inclusives, we really like using Liberty Travel. We booked this trip through a great Liberty Travel agent, Annie Schlegel. You can contact her at schlegelA@libertytravel.com

    Welcome back! What a lovely vacation!

    What a fabulous vacation! And can I just say how refreshing it is to read a blog post like this that is not “sponsored” by a company?! I have no issue with folks making money from their blogs, but honestly some I have enjoyed in the past seem to be morphing into a stream of “advertorials”…

    As a family that enjoys traveling more than pretty much anything else, I love these posts! Also agree that photo of Kyle is stunning!
    And that vase… I think Meera may be at the start of a beautiful artist’s life!
