12.30.2016: Heading South for the Winter

Ok, well not for the whole winter, but just a few days!  Everyone left the house, and we were there alone....so what do we do...go on vacation! :)
 
Brian & Thereisa joined us for a little roadtrip down to Puerto Penasco (aka Rocky Point), Mexico.  We had never been before, but know many people that go down all the time, so figured we would give it a shot.  We booked a gorgeous resort that is one of the newer ones there.  It was AMAZING!  Pretty much anything on the ocean is amazing to me though. 
 
All the rooms were condos.  Turns out, it is more of an owner based property.  They have some units for rent, but many were owned.  They were perfect little get-away condos.  We got a one bedroom with a full kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, pantry, dining room, living room, and patio. It was about a 1,000 sq feet, which was pretty amazing and perfect for us....and in the old days also about 30 Durbins!!  ;)
 
We got checked in & immediately hit the beach/pool bar! We spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach drinking margaritas and watching the sunset.  It was perfect.  The beaches are beautiful!!  They are clean, no seaweed, the water was warm, the people were super friendly.  Can't believe we hadn't been down here before.
 
We decided to take advantage of the restaurants at the resort instead of venturing downtown tonight...so we ate at the Mexican restaurant there.  The food was incredible, but the service was super, super slow!!!  As in, I don't think any of the staff had ANY training.  They were nice, just very inexperienced!
 
We went back to our room to watch the UFC fights, some college football and just relax and take in the views!  Such a nice way to spend the rest of the evening.
