Oh man, it is so warm here
We're having lots 'o fun here in Cancun (maybe even as much fun as my folks and the girls). We just got back from a nighttime swim and TubaDad is already asleep. I'm feeling kind of peppy, myself, hence the quick blog post. The internet here is el stinko, so I'm not sure if I'll get all of the pictures in or not.
Spent MANY hours here today (pic taken with TubaDad's blackberry because I forgot the camera card in the room). I think I can still see my backside imprint there when we walk by. I'm not really that white, it's just his blackberry washing everything out. Seriously!:
My BFF Trisha is here and I couldn't be happier. Her hubs (Rick) works at the same company as TubaDad. Rick, Trisha, my old boyfriend, and I came to Cancun in 1996, can you believe it? My old boyfriend (who shall remain nameless) had kinda longish hair. And one day he snuck away from all of us and got his hair braided and beaded. It was horrible. Everyone called him Bo Derek for the rest of the vacation and our relationship ended shortly thereafter. Some folks say those braids were the straw that broke the camel's back. Heh.
I think we've spent the entire time in bathing suits so far.
I didn't participate in this volleyball game, it was way to rowdy for me (those boys are crazy), but TubaDad sure had fun.
Oh yeah, we did get dressed once to go eat dinner. We have this neat grippy tripod, so we sort of hung it from a banana tree and snapped a quick pic.
It's so humid that when we break out the camera it immediately fogs up and we can't take pictures. I guess that's why we don't have very many. Well that reason and the fact that it's hard to remember the camera when you're drinking mojitos and drifting around in the water.
The pools are closed at nighttime, but it was so warm that we couldn't resist sneaking down for a late-night swim. Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone. We visited my favorite hammocks during the illicit swim. It's a good thing we don't have these at our pool at home or I would never, ever, be able to get out of them.
Geez, I just noticed that I'm in a lot of these pictures. That never happens. I guess that's just another thing that changes when the girls aren't around. (They're doing great, by the way, and so are my folks.) When I saw all those pics, I was tempted to delete them all and only leave up scenery shots or ones of TubaDad. I hate most pictures of myself, getting all hypercritical and picking them apart. Ugh. Allright, I'm backing away from the keyboard and leaving the post as is... Adios!

Its great seeing you guys having a GREAT time! Keep the updates coming.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great holiday! I can't work out how you get into those hammocks though!!
ReplyDeleteIn re: to the pictures of the guys playing volleyball, does this not scream "I work in an office!"
ReplyDeleteOh wait, I think I may look like that!
Oooo...what a beautiful place and you look mahhhvelous! It's fun to have you in front of the pics rather than behind the camera. Those hammocks look amazing! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteglad you you're having such a great time!!
Oh yah, the girlies called last night to say they're having a great time and that Wela and BobBob seem to enjoy the garage. After all, Bandit pops by to visit them. Also, not to be concerned that they have built permanent steps up to the candy cupboard and are sitting on chairs on the counter feasting solely on sugar!
Enjoy your trip friend!!
I never once thought to use the excuse that the camera washed my color out or that it added 75 lbs. to me. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having fun.
One question.... how the heck do you get in that hammock?
ReplyDeleteWOW a grown up trip. WHAT'S THAT? ha ha ha Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh fun! Glad you guys are having a good time! Mom and Dad time is a rare and precious treat so enjoy!! :)
ReplyDeleteUmmm.... how do you get in and out of the hammocks without falling in the water? Or is that the point? Do tell. :)
Looks like a lot of fun. Stay in the shade and drink lots. Sorry. Drink lots of WATER!!!
ReplyDeleteI think all photographers hate pictures of themselves. Actually, I think most people hate pictures of themselves. So don't be so hard on you - and use the "washed out color" and "camera lens distortion" excuse whenever needed :-)
How long will you be in paradise? And when are you going to set your parents free again?
Oh so fun, keep enjoying your time away!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are having a great time! Illegal pool swimming??? No way! You will need to hide this post when the girls are older and want to use this against you! HA!! Keep up the good work on vacation and hugs to all of you....Wela and Bobbob too!!
