Instead of spending the 4th of July in OB as has been the usual fare, we decided to head down to Mexico and share our Independence Day down there. Now Scott and I have spent two 4th of July's in Spanish-speaking countries! Michelle planned everything (thanks, Michelle!) and we all had a great time beaching, eating, drinking, playing and just relaxing. The place we stayed in was awesome with a beautiful, big house and wonderful outdoor area for bonfires, games and even rooftop entertainment. The beach was only a bit away, but by the time we brought down our chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc, we decided to spend the next day just sitting around by the house (vacations are for being lazy, right?). There was a bar close by where we spent some time playing pool and dancing, dancing and then dancing some more. The beach was fun and I tried to do some surfing (as did Baylis - you can see him here), but the waves were awful and no matter how much I fought them, I couldn't seem to catch anything. There were also 4-wheelers going crazy all over the beach and we had to be careful where we put our chairs and towels so that they didn't run us over. At one point, we even saw horses running down the beach with no owners nearby. I guess you never know what you'll see in Mexico! :-) The drive back across the border was actually worse than leaving OB the night after the bonfires, so I don't know if we'll pick that weekend to go again, but we'll definitely go back.
