Cancun

This is a picture of a picture we bought at Xcaret. The water is that blue in real life. This is a ocean river that goes through caves. Solomon actually enjoyed it. He didn't even mind the life vest. He would swim back and forth between Neall and me. The float/swim lasted about an hour. The water stays an average of 75, so it was nice. Getting out was tough. It was windy and chilly.

Neall, Solomon, and I went to Cancun for a long weekend. It was way too short. We had a wonderful time. We stayed at The Great Parnassus. This is a great resort for families. We took a one day trip to Xcaret: a nature reserve, Mayan ruin, ocean, theme park kinda place. Solomon was very good on the plane and enjoyed eating and swimming. Solomon learned a lot of new words such as "look", "air plane", "ocean", "walk", "poot", (Neall slipped up on that one). Solomon ate red grapes at every meal and tried fruit punch for the first time. He drank so much punch that he threw up! I must admit it was very good. We let him eat lots of sugery things- it was vacation. As I said before the plane ride went well, I mean suprisingly very well. We sat by the window and Solomon would "Pat, Pat, Pat" like the Litte Einstiens as we took off. The portable DVD player didn't work on the way over, but we survived without it. He wiggled around and then fell asleep without a peep. Other passesngers commented on how good he was- phew! On the way home he fell asleep during takeoff. By that time I was so sore from carrying him for 4 days. We made the drastic mistake of forgeting a stroller. Sol only wanted me to hold him most of the time so my hips were sore for a few days after the trip. When we went to Xcaret we rented a stroller, Solomon was happy to ride in that for a day. I think he was even sore from being carried so much.
