The Rest of Mexico

Monday the guys got up and left the resort by 6 to go deep sea fishing. After 8 hours in the boat they didn't catch anything except some ZZZZZs. The Captain said it was to calm for the fish to bite. Most of the guys agreed that they could have came back after 4 hours of not catching anything. The boys, mom, and I went to the pool in the morning after we ate. We had lunch and then I took Campbell to Miss Lucy's Clubhouse where he was going to watch a movie and be entertained for a couple of hours while Jamison took his nap. They played games instead of watching a movie but he had a good time. When I went to pick him up he was throwing water balloons at three people on a surf board to try to knock them off. He liked doing that. Mom went to the spa for a manicure. I read a book and played Nintendo DS (have I told you how addicted I am?) We ate at the Buffet for supper that night. I liked the buffet the best of all the restaurants. But for the menued restaurants the Mexican couldn't be beat just like when we went in the Winter last year. Helloo, when you are in Mexico you should eat Mexican food not steaks!

This is the night we had a little scare. Jamison was sitting by the big pool kicking his feet in the water. Brian was standing above him. I was over on the other side of the deck looking for a weighted stick for Campbell or Luke to throw in the water. I look over and there is Jamison the water over his head. His little legs kicking like crazy. I yell at Brian as I enter the pool and he is in and has Jamison when I get there. Jamison starts crying as we get him out of pool. Then he sees Grandpa in the pool and wants to go to him. We should have named him Titan apparently.

Sunday night I was awake from 3 on because Brian shut the air conditioner off and then I could hear the refrigerator clicking and hissing. Monday night Jamison decides that at 2:30 he wanted to play. So I was awake from 2:30 until 4 when I finally got him settled down.

Tuesday we went and swam with the Dolphins. This was a lot of fun. Campbell would have liked it better if the water was a little more shallow. He was just a little to deep to be comfortable. with the waves coming in. I wasn't to steady on my feet either and I was holding Jamison so I couldn't hold him too. Our group had a little problem with saying ready, set, go but the Peters clan has never been named the most coordinated group. This proved it.

After the dolphins we went into San Miquel. Half our group was let off and the far end of the shopping area because their Taxi driver got money for each person they brought to that end of the shopping area. Our group was let off in front of the cruise ship mall. Jamison of course fell asleep on the way there. Campbell was with the group that started trekking. We were all a little hot and hungry. What to do? Mom took a tour of Senor Frog's and Carlos and Charles to see if she could find the other group. I planted myself by Senor Frog's car with Jamison in my lap. New plan. Brian would go look for the rest of them for an hour. Dad would sit on this nice quite bench and hold the sleeping Jamison while mom and I shopped. I purchased a Turquoise ring and an Onyx and Malichite pendant. Mom didn't get anything. We went back to check on dad and Jamison. There were now two guys in total Mexican attire playing xylophones about 5 feet from the bench. Jamison slept on. While we stood there the 2 guys left and here came a guy and girl in warrior paint, carrying a big drum and a smoking odurous cup. They started chanting and pounding on the drum. Here come another one. the finally you could here a block away and Jamison still slept on. Brian found Campbell and crew and then we had decisions to make. Where to eat. Roshonne wanted to eat at Carlos and Charlies so that's were Shawn's family and Dirk's family ate. Sorry that was just to loud for me to take the boys especially since at the end of the drumming Jamison had just woke up.

Mom and dad had some shopping to do. Campbell and I went to pick out t-shirts while Jamison woke a little more. We were heading to Margaritaville to eat when mom and dad saw a little out door patio bistro. Margaritas were awesome here. Super Margaritas. I couldn't even drink both my happy hour drinks I had a buzz after the first one. My food was good too. I wouldn't recommend the chicken fingers though. All their Ranch dressing had dill in it. Eww.

Tuesday night Jamison was over tired and we went out to the pool at 12:30 for a change of scenery. After 2 hours of screaming he finally went to sleep. He woke up again at 3 and screamed for another hour. I didn't know what to do for him or how to keep him from waking Campbell. I was ready to head out to the pool again when he finally calmed down and went back to sleep. We apologized to the people above us for keeping them awake with a screaming child but they didn't hear him at all. Wish I could say that. By Wednesday leaving we had 6 people that were sick at least a little. No one got sunburned on any of the other days just that first one. The flights home where good. We arrived in our bed at 12:30 a.m. Thursday morning. So glad I took Thursday off too. Thursday afternoon I fell to Montezuma as did Dirk. Mine lasted a day, Dirk wasn't so lucky. I heard his was still going strong on day 7. Ouch!
