So Much Fun!

Our first two days in Mexico, Saturday and Sunday, were just so lovely. All we thought about was fun and more fun. We consumed countless watered down all-inclusive drinks and migrated between the beach and the pool, with its convenient swim-up bar. Notice my beach bag in the picture below. . .my aunt bought us those so we all had multi-colored matching bags to use for the week. Very nice.
This was taken at the beach buffet. It was a pretty large buffet that was shared with many birds. I thought it was strange, though, that the birds were not the usual gulls but smaller, black birds that were not as aggressive as gulls usually are. I didn't see a seagull the whole time we were there! (I'm not complaining.)

This photo was taken at the "dry side" of the swim up bar. I don't remember what matching drink we all have. . .it could be a Miami Vice, a daquiri, a Bahama Mama. . .oh what's the difference! I'm sure it was delicious!

The afternoon on Sunday flew by and tension was building because the Vikings game was starting soon! Would it happen? Would it finally happen? Everyone excused themselves to get ready for the game and gathered in the "Sport Bar" in the hotel. The "Sport Bar" had probably 20 TV screens that were all about the size of my laptop screen. Great. At least the game was broadcast though. We joked that we would arrive and a soccer/futbol game would be showing instead of "American Football" but that didn't happen.

The game was close all along and we spent halftime eating a frantic dinner in the hotel buffet. We all know what happened after that. . .what a shame, but not a suprise! A good aspect of the evening was that some surprise guests arrived! My aunt Barb's sister had told us at the beginning of the trip that none of her kids were able to make it on the trip. On Sunday night, her son and daughter-in-law arrived unexpectedly from Montana! I always thought it would be fun to surprise someone like that!
