MEXICO

Finally a VACATION!! This has been our first vacation outside the U.S. together. And our first vacation alone since Ashton got home. It was so awesome. Mexico it's self isn't very pretty, but the Ocean is AWESOME! Ashton's Battle Buddy Jim from Iraq, has a cousin who owns a beach house, so they invited us to go with them for a weekend. We drove 11 hours, spent 3 days swimming and having a relaxing time, and turned around and came home. I missed Aspen, but it was also nice to just have some "Us" time. I even fell asleep ina lawn chair reading a book, overlooking the ocean. It was sooo nice! We swam in the Ocean for hours, and 4 DOLPHINS swam close by us. It was a little intimidating as they are rather larger than you think of them being. 3 days definetely wasn't long enough, but at least we got to go. I've been sick since we got home though. Too much junk food I am sure. I hope we can go back again...maybe on a cruise ship this time.
