i look forward to our mexico trip all year. we stay just south of rosarito and just north of puerto nuevo in a gated community called las gaviotas.
i love that it is close to home, but an entirely different place to visit. i love that we can drive and stay for a week and feed our family of six and do the mexico thing for less than what we would pay for six tickets to fly somewhere else.
just love it.
stuff i want to remember:
sitting in the mornings on the balcony with all the kids, reading and lazing in the sun
watching jeff give some local kids boogie board lessons
hanging for the day with the mcgarveys, beach, pool, lobster, shopping, and talking until midnight
fish tacos everyday-best place is macho taco in rosarito
the light, living in the perfect light reflected directly from the ocean
buying handmade and supporting the local women
tequila shots at 3 in the afternoon
drew asking for $5 out of his spending money to give to an old senora
the way the kids say gracias “grass-see-us”
the.best.guacamole.ever. (note to self, put onion in your guac from now on)
anna and mckenna got more brave in the ocean-going out far with daddy and drew
watching the relationship between father and son grow to another level together for hours out in the ocean
the master bedroom of the house we rent – the view
getting jacked on the drive home-the cops not letting us get in the line to cross the border we usually use, getting lost in tijuana, and after two hours of blood boiling pressure finally getting across and back on CA soil.
