Mexico Spring Break

After having such a cold and wet winter we decided some much needed sun was exactly what we needed. We packed our bags and Carey's crutches and headed south of the border to Cozumel. We spent the first two days with our rear ends parked right outside our villa on the beach. We snorkeled, played in the water and of course tanned our white bodies! In my case blistered my white body. The water was so blue and clear. The fish came right up to us when we snorkeled which I found quite scary! Parker has absolutely no fear of the water, fish, lobsters or anything else associated with the ocean. It's so ironic how I can have a fear of the water and he has absolutely none. The third day we manged to pull ourselves away from the water and did a submarine tour. The sub went to depths of 122ft! Incredible! For someone like me who has never seen the bottom of the ocean floor this was a great experience. The reefs, sea life, plants... everything was such a site. It's like a whole different world under the sea. Although we pulled ourselves away for a short grocery run and tour the beach and sun called us back to see it's beautiful sunset. No words can describe how beautiful the rays look across the ocean water as the sun begins to set. The colors are like none other I have ever seen. The fourth day we spent the morning on the beach and then we decided to tour the bare side of the island. This side is none for it's strong current so no hotels or resorts are located on this side. Actually other than just a few road side vendors there's nothing at ALL on this side of the island. Natures beauty was awesome but again the force of the waves seemed a little scary to me. Mexico is beautiful and has everything that a family stuck in Oklahoma during one of the coldest, wettest winters ever recorded could want. With exception of the hassle of customs... UGH!
