We're back and all are tan!

This was how poor Mary looked on our first leg of the trip. Luckily we left right about her nap time so she went to sleep for a little bit. It takes us about 5 hours to get to the boarder with one stop in between. So, needless to say she was a bit antsy to get outa that chair. But she did good. She was not so happy on the way home, but she made it.

Anyway, so we left on Thursday about noon. Met up with Jim and Elaine at Walmart and we were on our way. LONG drive down to Calexico. Made it there about 5 to the camp ground for our first night. We all fell out of our motor homes and made ourselves a drink to relax. Then it was off to MiMi's for dinner and then to bed.

Up at 5:30 to cross the boarder. YAH we made it! Now another 2 1/2 hours to San Felipe. Mary was a trooper as we drove our way into the heat. We made it to town about 9. Now time to wait for the beer store to open. They are not allowed to sell beer anywhere in town until 10, so we wait. Mom and I take the jeep to go buy 'drugs'. OK, we just buy amoxacilin, but it's the running joke. Now back to meet up with the rest and off to the house. Finally make it to our destination about 11:30 and start to unpack and sit and relax! Let's start the fun!

Morning number one. We wake up and the tide is out super far. So, we take Mary out to play in the sand and water. She loved it, of course! Every morning from then on she's wake up and say "sand, beach, FUN!" It was so cute.
Oh, we are having fun here! Mom and dad have the buggy and so we can't all fit in it. SO, dad bought a cool jeep for my mom and we got to tow it behind our motor home for us to play in. So, here is Mary in her car seat taking a ride int he jeep. She loved the bouncing. When we'd stop she's say "bounce more" So cute.
Mary got a bath each night in a bucket. She took a bath while we showered around her. She thought it was great.
Kevin does not look to happy here because he's thinking about how he has to pack up all our crap the next day. It is and was a sad thought.

We took a day trip down the puertocitos, which is about 40 miles from the house. On the way was this bar in the middle of no where. Outside of it was this car. So, we had to take a picture in it. BUT, the bar was not open. We made ourselves at home, of course. Actually every time we go by this place it's NEVER open, but it's always stocked with toilet paper and soap. Someone is taking care of it at some point.

So all in all it was a great trip. Mary was a good girl and had a great time. She didn't get sun burnt and actually got a little farmers tan. I got my usual tan, DARK, and Kevin is not so white any more. Another fun trip down. We'll see what next year brings us, since there may be a new addition in the group next year. We'll see.
