Wow, i've been slacking on blog posts...i just looked as i was getting ready to post and saw i haven't posted since last month...oh well...things get busy i suppose.
We just got back from a much needed trip to Cancun. We almost didn't go with the swine flu scare, but the closer we got to leaving the more we felt that the whole thing was WAY over hyped by the media and we decided to go anyway. We talked to the CDC (Center for Disease Control) twice the week prior as well as our pediatrician and did our homework and kept an eye on the facts of the whole thing and after all was said and done we went anyway.
We stayed at the GR Solaris on the Hotel strip and it was pretty sweet. The hotel had really good reviews online and our experience there was great. With the swine flu scare a lot of people canceled their trips, so some of the resorts closed and combined to keep the ones that were open busy. Fortunately it worked out well for us. The resort was probably at about half capacity and it made it easy for us to get chairs at the pool :-) The food was good, the beach was warm, the pool was nice and the drunk people hilarious. We'll just say some people have no gauge on their drinking nor do they care and they sure are funny to watch try to compete in pool games when they can't hardly stand up. It's kind of sad i suppose, that some people go on vacation just to see how sloshed they can get and stay for an entire week.
We enjoyed the sun and the entertainment. Blake loved the pool and the ocean and we think he is going to be a water kid. He had one day where he was teething and it was a bit of a difficult day that day, but he woke up the next day feeling fine and the rest of the week was great. We had a REALLY fun time with him and it was good to get out and travel and see how he would do in a different environment and he did great. He made lots of friends at the resort (including a lot of the great entertainment staff) and many of the other vacationers. They deemed him the cutest baby to visit the resort that they could remember :-) What could we do, but agree?
