Back from Vacation!

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in Guatemala.
This time, our vacation was truly relaxing at times, very hectic here and there and positively, absolutely fun!
A whole week at the beach house was just what the doctor ordered. Patrick slept and slept (I guess he really needed it). I was afraid that the kids were going to grow gills and fins. They just would not come out of the pool.
We had the oportunity to go deep sea fishing and even though some of us got sick, it was all worth it. We saw dolphins swimming right beside our boat, we saw tiny jelly fish and lots of see turtles. We were hoping for whales, but did not see any. Oh well, there is always next year.
Patrick and I went to a concert at the beach. (Fanny Lu and Elvis Crespo). We were afraid we were too old for this and that we would not enjoy it. Boy, were we wrong!!!! We had an amazing time. Instead of a concert it felt more like a huge party. Everybody was dancing and the energy level was through the roof. Patrick and I used to love to dance (all Latin rhythms) and had not done it in a long time. It felt great! The only thing I need to remember for next time is to bring more suitable shoes. I had flip flops on and it was super challenging. At the end of the night I could hardly walk.
Patrick and I escaped for 2 days to Antigua on a romantic getaway. It truly was so special. We reconnected and were just like honeymooners wondering around and kissing in public. Getting away just the 2 of us for a couple of days is now our new tradition. We never get to do it, so we really try to make the most out of it. By the way, Antigua has a bunch of new, very small luxury hotels that are simply gorgeous and not expensive at all.
The days in Guatemala City flew by. We always seemed to be busy and I was reminded (yet again) of what an amazing, fantastic family I have. They were all so sweet to Diego and Isabel and we had a blast together.
Two weeks is not a long time, but I am not complaining. I am grateful and very happy!!!
