Vacation and More
Our family vacation started the night before (a week ago Friday night) when Grandpa and I stayed with Peyton while her parents attended Amanda's work Christmas party. We had such a good time having dinner together and playing.
All 5 of us woke up very early on Saturday morning, as our flight to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was leaving KCI at 8 a.m. Peyton was the best 1 year old traveler ever, sleeping most of both flights there and back.
The week was so enjoyable - 80+ degree days and 70 degree nights - warm but not humid - perfect. The resort was beautifully decorated for Christmas with various nativities, poisettias, Christmas trees, etc. Ron and Chad played golf on 3 different courses - Amanda joined them one day on the ocean course and had a great time. Ron, Chad and Amanda spent one day ziplining and had a lot of fun. Peyton and Grammy enjoyed taking walks (Peyton would literally go sit in her stroller when she wanted to take a walk - so cute) and going to the pool. One of the pools was a zero entry which was great for Peyton. She splashed and loved watching the other kids play around in the water. She wasn't as fond of the ocean or the beach/sand, but she did partake one day. We had some great meals - the Mexican restaurant featured a guy playing a wooden flute and bongos - Peyton was mesmerized. We all went on a dinner cruise/whale watching excursion. We saw several whales, some gorgeous scenery and a lovely sunset. Amanda and Chad enjoyed a couple of "date nights" while Grammy, Grandpa and Peyton had their own special time - everyone won! Amanda and I spent a few hours at the spa which was very relaxing and fun. The best part of the trip for me was getting to spend so much time with Peyton, and of course, her Mommy too! Peyton definitely has her Grammy wrapped around her little finger!
The week was absolutely wonderful - we hope to have the opportunity to do it again sometime soon.
