The day started late for a change with Nicholas having a sleepover at the Minnings and Jacob sleeping in until almost 830. Wow. Nicholas arrived before 9 informing us that he watched a movie last night and went to bed at 1130. It was going to be a long day. We got down to the pool at 10 and the boys swam like demons all day. We took a break from our regular pool area to go over to the wave pools with the tubes and had a fantastic time. The boys finished painting up their clay figures and they looked fantastic. We bummed around the pools all afternoon – Nicholas Austin and Jake all did the ‘jump in the tube’ competition and we all had a good laugh. Krista had the most fun of all after partaking a little too bravely in the pool side beverages. She was certainly the life of the party for a couple hours!
We packed up around 330 and headed to the rooms for a shower and change and actually convinced the Minnings to head into the city to see the sights. We caught a 10 seater van cab right downtown to Pipi’s Mexican restaurant. Upon arrival, we were bombarded with taco chips, salsa, and pails of freshly made guacamole. They brought out free quesadillas and then the biggest margaritas you have ever seen. When our food arrived, we were astonished at the portion size! Everything was gargantuan and we barely put a dent in the food having to bring much of it home.
We walked down to the beach and the long sidewalk ( Malecon ) and walked a good chunk of the beach admiring the amazing sand sculptures of religious figures and Greek gods etc. We walked back on the beach for an hour and then caught a cab back to the hotel. It was a short adventure but very fun nonetheless. The life of the party known as Krista had faded somewhat profusely and went directly to bed at the crack of 7pm and was not heard from again. The boys all went down to the swimming pool and swam til it was dark. We had a good bit of exercise before heading to the room and off to bed for 930. Another fantastic day in paradise.
