To Rocky Point, Mexico



 







We all slept in and Bridget made us all breakfast.  Since Bridget had Kyle still sick and Julie woke up with a migraine, Tamra and I went to Costco to buy food for our week down in Mexico.  We decided to have breakfast and lunch in our condo's for the week.  We bought alot of food and we both were surprised that it was only $230 dollars.  When we came back from Costco, we loaded up all the food and head out around noon.  We had to give Chad's car a call name, so they were the Black Ninja.  We caravaned down to Rocky Point, stopping half way to buy Mexican Insurance.  Most US auto insurance companies don't cover Mexico, so we bought 4 days worth for $40 a day.  We had to cross the border around 4 pm, which we were stopped and asked where we were going and where we were coming from.  We told them we were with the other two cars in front of us, but we said we were from Utah and they said from Arizona, so they were a little bit confused, but they still let us cross.  They also asked us if we had anything to claim, like 10,000 cash or something.  Yeah, right, a family in a mini van wanting to cross the border with 10,000 dollars. I don't think so. We arrived in Mexico at 6 pm and unloaded all the suitcases. Scott even found a dead cockrock that was over 2 inches big.  Tamra was freaked out about it, so Scott had to pick it up and then we tried to eat it for the camera.  Tamra, Scott, Colton, Brian, Sharri, Erika, Cortney & Erika were in one condo and Chad, Bridget, Ashton, Kyle, Julie, Hailey, Austin and Connor in the other condo.  The Condo's were called the Princesa at Rocky Point.  Our condo was on the bottom floor, so we were able to walk right out onto the beach, which was great for the kids.  The kids wanted to try the swimming pools first thing, but they were a little chili and it was dark and windy.  After we all were situated, Chad went into town and bought chicken taco makings for all of us.  It was so good and everyone was so hungry too.  And then we played some games until 11 pm or so.
