Just four or five hours from here we have a great little spot of the earth called Rocky Point, in Mexico. This weekend my mom, Shelly, Maddie, Ali and Blake all flew in and we made the drive down to enjoy the beach and relaxation!
Rocky Pointe is cool because it is easy to get to in the car, but feels very FAR away, with being in another country and no cell phones, etc. It really is a good place to go to get away with family!
We packed all of the food and water we would need for the week, brought it with us and enjoyed just staying at the hotel most of the time. We love how the pools are right on the edge of the beach so we can choose to just walk back and forth all day with the kids. We did venture out a few times for tacos and shops though! Quite the experience driving and eating there sometimes. But always an adventure!
We celebrated Easter there and went to church in town which was very sweet and humbling. Listened to all of sacrament meeting in spanish, and felt their love.
As you can see in the pictures we had tons of fun...
