Encanto Living 3- Playa Miramar

 Playa Miramar is literally littered with shells!  

 The water is so clear that you can see the white shells in the picture.  

 This is my new happy place, the place of tranquility that I will think of and remember when times get stressful.  

 She started shelling steps away from the pool.  

 This view is from the 2nd bedroom balcony.  The brown structures are the parking area and it just shows how isolated this area is.  

Joelle's haul after the first day of shelling!  

 I was absolutely mesmerized by the waves and how beautiful it was to watch them leisurely roll in.  

 We found so many shells with slugs and crabs in them, then we found this little guy.  

 There was so much beauty all around. 

 Ahhhh, jellyfish!  There were a few that washed up on the beach each day.  

 The tide on this beach is amazing.  It seems like you can walk to the end of the earth.  We were up early this morning to hunt for shells.  There is no shortage, but we still hung out for 2 hours.  The low tide is so beautiful.  Apparently Playa Miramar has the second largest tide swing in the world!  We accidentally brought back several hermit crabs that had to be returned!

Encanto Living Part 2

This was the amazing condo we stayed in.  There was so much room it was nice not having to cram into a small hotel room.  

This view though.... wow, it was awesome seeing this everyday.  Just look at that blue water!

Encanto Living...

We made it to Encanto Living.  It is about 20 minutes from downtown Rocky Point, but so worth the drive.  This is the kind of place that you literally feel like you are on an island.  

The private beach was amazing and full of shells!

This was the view from our balcony.  There was a balcony off the living room and off the master bedroom!

Puerto Penasco, Mexico Here We Come!

And we are off!!  We were so excited to head to Mexico.  None of the kids have ever been there and this was only my second time!  

At the border...

After a long and boring drive (is is similar to the drive to Vegas), we are officially here!!  So excited to start our vacation!

Our first stop was for lunch, and guacamole was the best I have ever had!  

Night Game at the Reds

Night games are the best games!  It is never too hot:)  We love going to the Reds stadium, because they always have fun things for the kids to do.  They also have great between inning entertainment.  

You can't see it, but David is playing with Joelle!!  LOL, she loves her brother.  

Cotton Candy Fun

This girl loves her cotton candy!

Bass Pro Shop and the Dodgers!

We have wanted to check out the Cubs new stadium for a few years, and this year we finally got it done.  Lucky for us the Cubs stadium is right by Bass Pro Shop!  We got some lunch and had a little fun before the game!

Steve is still working on his aim:)

Yay we ended up on the Dodger side!!  The stadium was really nice as most of the seats had some sort of shade.  

We got to watch Kershaw warming up in the outfield before he pitched.  He has a pretty cool routine where he starts at the foul line and works his way further into the field, all the while pitching to the side.  

We had so much shade that Joelle was cold! We had a great time at our first spring training game of the season!
