Yucatan Vacation - Part One


We left last Monday for Merida, Mexico and had a somewhat long flight from New York to Houston and then to Merida. We were delayed in NY and literally ran to our connecting flight, and were the last ones on the flight. Sam was really a trooper. She was great on the flight, a little whiny on the descent but overall was great. We watched a Elmo DVD for about 30 min but she basically played the whole flight. She finally fell asleep while waiting in the customs line in Mexico, which by that time was 10 at night (for her, actually 9). We pulled up to the hotel to find out it was La Carnival, basically Mardi Gras in Mexico and it was right in front of our hotel. Sam slept right through it and we went up and went to sleep while Tim and Peter went to check out carnival. This pic is Sam and Tim as we ventured out to Carnival the next day. It was so crowded we couldn't use a stroller so we were so glad we had the Ergo with us. It was exciting to get there during such a fun party but it was also so crowded that by early afternoon we went to hang out at the hotel pool and skipped the crazy part of Carnival. Samantha really liked the pool, putting her feet in only, she wasn't too into swimming, the water was pretty cold.

I don't know if any of you have an Ergo, I really like it. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's very comfy, especially when on the back. Samantha seemed to be very happy in it for the first hour or so, and this was in 90 degree heat. I think it will be good for walking in the spring when it's a little warmer.
