1. Wake up. 2. Watch about an hour of cartoons in Spanish (the language barrier did not bother the girls, which we are thankful for because finding a quiet activity for them to do before sunrise was a challenge...our children do not sleep in) 3. Have breakfast at a delicious bakery or restaurant. 4. Spend a few hours playing in the ocean. 5. Back to condo for lunch and naps. 6. Spend some time playing in the pool. 7. Go out to eat for dinner and ice cream. 8. Go to bed, wake up, and repeat these steps. (For the adults, add "and drink beer(s) and/or cocktail(s)" to numbers 4-7).
We really took advantage of the warm weather, having each day wide open for playing in the sun, and enjoying being together as a family. I know that sounds corny, but it was so nice to have time together and not having a list of chores/errands/things to get done.
And now some pics of the Erickson family getting loco in Mexico...
Anne and Margot enjoying beverages while watching the Super Bowl. We watched the game at an outdoor restaurant. Side note - people (notably the Mexicans and European tourists) were way more into the halftime show than the game. As I had my eyes glued on the show, Soren went for a walk and noted that the streets were lined with people peering into bars to see Madge strut her (old) stuff. 
Nothing better than eating outdoors.
Surprise! A wave is going to get ya! The girls LOVED playing in the ocean. They floated around for hours in their life jackets. 
Cute sister pose while waiting for a souvenir. The hot item this year was to get your name written on a bracelet. In my day it was to get your name on a piece of rice, which was so weird.

We had lots of delicious meals. The oddest might have been an out-of-the-way Italian restaurant we went to. The food was soooo good. We found it hilarious that Garfield seems to be the international sign for Italian food. In case you are not familiar with Garfield, he is the orange cat pictured on the menu. The man in the background is Soren
The one family picture we took while on vacation to prove we were all there together. 
Lots of fun on the plane ride. A DVD player, stickers, treats, coloring books, more treats, play-do and books kept the Erickson ladies entertained on the plane. On the flight home Margot was randomly picked to have "extra" screening done before she got on the plane. A sassy 2-year-old getting some extra security attention makes for a funny way to end the trip.
