Goodrich Family: Vacation.....?????

Whoever said that traveling to a resort location with 2 1/2 year old twins was the same as "vacation" was sorely mistaken!!

We went to Cabo San Lucas over the Thanksgiving holiday for a one week "vacation". Wow. That was a lot of work. I think from here on out....maybe 'till the kids turn 10....we will leave 'em at home with the dog sitter! :-)

It was a lot of work: think traveling with three huge suitcases, two carseats, two strollers, three carry ons and two toddlers on a 2 1/2 hour flight to Mexico. It probably took me three days to pack for the trip - I had to pack:
~ at least one potty for the condo
~ travel potty seat for public places
~ sand toys
~ plastic dishes and cups
~ their favorite foods for one week
~ overnight diapers for two kids for seven nights
~ diapers for Wyatt to nap in
~ bathing suits during the off season
~ at least two outfits per day per kid....

Then there were clothes for me and Travis. Wow. It was A LOT of stuff. But we did it!! Not one bag over 50 lbs so I was quite proud of myself.

We had a lot of fun hanging out at the beach and the pool. The kids just LOVE the beach and the pool. What water babies they are. We had to DRAG Wyatt out of the water because he would stay in there for hours if we let him. Plus, there were several occasions where he would just charge out into the ocean. These two are fearless, but Wyatt is really fearless when it comes to the water and jumping right in.

This was a shot taken latter in the afternoon of my nephews, my brother in law, my husband and the kids in the hot tub on the balcony of our condo overlooking the beach. Did I mention it was later in the day....? After a few hours at the local "Office" for the guys!

This is the main beach in Cabo San Lucas. There were no cruise ships on this day so the beach was nice and quiet. We always dug a giant hole in the sand for the kids. For some reason, they loved it!
