Rocky Point

Dave says: We spent the last week living the high life with my family in Rocky Point, Mexico. It was sunny every day with temperatures in the 60s-70s and we stayed in a plush eleventh floor condo overlooking the beach. We went running in the morning, went out exploring at midday, relaxed in the pool during the late afternoon, enjoyed local cuisine in the evening, and went on long walks on the beach at sundown.

Some of the trip highlights included tidepooling/collecting shells on the beach, exploring the touristy downtown city area, taking an epic walk with Christine and Parker, ordering the Mexican feast for two at La Curva (while being serenaded by a mariachi band), getting beat at Trivial Pursuit on New Year's Eve by the Toussaints, watching some bowl games on the condo's HDTV, and playing hours of games with Daniel and Katie in the heated pool.

We drove the entire way with my parents in their huge van and probably spent close to 40 hours in the car during the course of the trip. Fortunately, Alisha had a book to read and I had a good audio book to listen to. On the way home, we stopped in Phoenix at my uncle's house and visited with his family for the first time in a couple of years. We had a great time with the foosball table and I was amazed at how grown up my cousins are.
