ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....yes! THE FOOD!! Because I'm a foodie, which that definition for me just means that I love to eat beautiful, tasty food AND take pictures of it, I have a few lil morsels to write about! One of the first things I think of when going to the beachy city is their guacamole and chips. And I can make a pretty good guac....but there's just something about the amount of fresh lime, the cilantro and the avocados, themselves, from there that just make it divine. And those burnt chips.....how I do love those thick slabs of corn deliciousness that have been overcooked to perfection! Upon arriving at our location, my first need was the guac and chips. Sorry this pic is a lil messy but I was too excited when it first came to me, untouched in all its glory, to take a pic...heheh...
Our first morning there, mah boyfriend and I walked into town for breakfast. We found a nice lil place further back from the main street of town and the food was y-u-m-m-y! Mine was a huge burrito filled with oh, so deliciouso stuff like the eggs, meats, many kinds of peppers all wrapped up in the most wonderful fresh tortilla that had been toasted on a griddle.
But the even better part was the sauces and pico to ladle over the top! And because I can never turn down the fresh fruit platters there.........I had that too!
One evening, my buddy found a glorious place for us to eat dinner. We walked and found it only to discover that it was the exact same place where my son and his bride had their wedding reception 6 yrs ago this coming Saturday! This made it not only a fun night with great food for me, but also a sentimental evening as well! They make THE best caesar salad from scratch, tableside, ever. OMG. That dressing? To die for.
Each morning, my sweet boyfriend, would bring me coffee and a freshly made pastry to have on the porch of our room!
This one will prolly gross some out but I absolutely adore whole, fried fish there. This one was enjoyed on the ocean side of Cozumel at a lil local restaurant called Chen Rio. It was Snapper. And it was muey bien........I also speak spanish now!!
One more and I'll quit....promise! One of our last nights there, our friends had this unbelievable combo......wish I'd ordered it. Crab, lobster, shrimp... It was some kinda good!
And at Gymboree? I got to visit her during her "class" last week and I tried to get pictures....do you know how hard it is to get a shot in focus on a 19 month old WHILE playing with Jimbo and about 10 other toddlers??!!! I laughed and laughed watching her "take charge" of her class!!
(they have SO much excitement in their lives right now...they deserve every second of it!) Of course, we had to celebrate! Me with my lil dirty martini and she with her sprite and a cherry!
We had a lil spa time and then we found this!!
We looked at bebe nursury stuff and house stuff and then ..... well.......we did a whole lotta this!
Fried green maters! Best ever blue cheese wedge salad! Eggs Benedict! Salmon & Avocado tartare! Three lil pigs...pulled pork sammies! Of course, we didn't have all of this at once but man, oh man.........we ate some good stuff!! Since we were too stuffed to have dessert after dinner one night, we took it home and had it for breakfast!!
GOOD TIMES!!
and after the practice, the "talks" begin! Oh...........how I love my family!!
And WAIT...............it's almost time for something else.......
This is SophieJane wondering why Bromley is playing hide and seek in her toy pile...you have to look closely to distinguish Brom from the toys!
So, while we were gone on our trip, Sophie stayed at Bromley's house and while the first day was a leetle testy....meaning sophie growled alot at bromley, they became good friends again. It always takes them a few hours to get used to each other. So, Sophie loves to sleep under the covers leaning up against me and I was a bit worried that my son was not going to be very keen on having a dog in his bed. Well.........................look at the pic I received one day that cracked me UP so much that I had to look at it over and over again!!
So our good buddies from the Pacific Northwest (we call 'em Yanks or Turks!) joined us on this little adventure and the laughing began!
We even attended a wedding of some friends of ours while there. #2 daughter in law was a bridesmaid....a very pretty one, I may add! 
Every night when we came "home", there would be a different towel fold on our bed...cute!
...to be continued...
this is kinda how her pigtails turned out!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! But on a face like this?? How can anything look wrong?
and when she turned to me and said, "YaYa....p-tays"........You know what happened!!
Great time!! Can't wait to tell all..............um, almost all!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...white beach, blue water of every tint, beer and maragitas..............did I mention margaritas AND guacomole????? and best friends??!!
Oh wait......even MORE ridiculous!!
Come on Summer.........we love ya and all but really????? Of course, I'll take all the help I can get to keep things watered around here!!
