Day 7.
We awoke for breakfast with a dear old family friend, Ximena.
Then just lazed the day away. Sometimes on vacation, you just have to chillax. Anyway, dinner was served at the fancy dining hall.
Jenna loved it.
And Caitlin spinned this thing for some cooky visuals.
Later that night, we got the whole family in the pool.
Where we just sat all in a row.
Just kidding, we found several inane little games to compete at. It was tremendous Stephens’ fun.
Jenna got so carried away, she faux-hawked it.
She also got scraped up in her victorious championship rounds of “get out of the pool feet first.” Not a bad night.
Day 8.
We awoke to the coolest belt ever.
And went off to a Mexican shopping classic: The Bazar Sabado.
Which made one Miss Jenna-Marie very happy. (I mean, check out those new earrings I got her for a buck fifty!)
The Bazaar is cool little gathering of merchants.
That sells all these thingamobobs.
Ceramics.
Even a sculpture artist that uses junk.
Masks.
Almost everything to adorn anything.
We had to get back, because that day Mexico played Argentina in the elimination round 16. Regrettably, the lost. Boo hoo.
That night, our last, we got a dinner treat at the San Angelinn.
A hoity-toity place, we all dressed up.
My dad even went hipster.
The food was delectable.
I even gave my sister a belated birthday present, previously bought at the bazaar.
The San Angelinn has a beautiful garden, which we perused.
It’s pretty dope.
We came back for pictures.
Some were more eager to stay than others.
So on this last night, I decided to visit my mom. We have a weird relationship, and I don’t see her often, but it was good to enter my old home.
And see the great lady.
We also got a blast of the past.
Checking out my very first pieces of art.
This being my piece-de-résistance.
But I dabbled in woodwork.
And crayons.
Even on glass windows.
Look at me when I was young.
And check out the house, a nice wooded look.
With a banister I used to slide on.
The kitchen.
The dining room.
A little living room.
My grandparents.
And the whole family.
Fue muy bueno verte, Mami.
Gracias por todo.
I loved the cacti.
Then I returned to my father’s home. Which, you might say, I didn’t blog. But you would be wrong, I did this last time I was back, check it out.
Being the last night, I had very little time to add to the Design Trip video, so I did. Putting in a dad’s art piece.
Tom flying.
And Caitlin driving.
Last Day. (boo hoo).
Said goodbye to my bunny.
Got sick and threw up.
Said good bye to a one day guest, Cristophe, friend of Sams who was off to rent a car.
Said goodbye to my dad.
Survived a gaggle of screaming kids.
Which made Jenna oh so happy.
But we made it after all.
Not a bad vacation after all.
