Traveling with 2 toddlers is hard - it just is. The physical demands of squirming bodies in compact places. The mental demands of preparing to make every scenario a happy and safe one.
I spent all week packing. Monday: food and medicines. Tuesday: toys and pool stuff. Wednesday: clothing. Thursday: carry-ons with travel entertainment. Etc. That on top of the hours we spent finding the proper sun gear. Solar Ray Mitigator is my new job title and I have the long sleeve shirts and 7 types of sunscreen to prove it.
But it was worth it. OH SO WORTH IT. Seven days of pure happiness and sandy adventure that I hope you won't forget.
What I want to remember...
Lucy and Lizzie roaming the pool, playing 100 variations of mermaid sisters. Overhearing conversations such as
- Lizzie: "Let's play that this is poison and we have to mix it by the sand and then we'll pretend there is a treasure."
- Lucy: "Ok. Swim to me, my dear."
Making road in the sand with Henry - way easier than sand castles and more interesting for a lover of wheels.
Swimming under the full moon with the sounds of the surf and the kids laughing.
Hot sun on my face and cool sand on my feet, running straight into the ocean at Playa Del Carmen.
The food - ¡Oh, la comida deliciosa!
And SO many other things. I'm already dreaming of going again. Maybe we can all learn some Spanish before than.
Until then:
