Justin went to in search of food last night, however the grocery store was already closed so he went back this morning to pick up a few things for the kids to eat for breakfast.
Because we only had one person assigned to each of our rooms only Justin and I got breakfast at the resort. Sadly, the provided breakfast was nothing to rave about. It seems to take us forever each morning to get ready. I hate sunscreen. It’s the worst part of summer in my opinion. So to be on a vacation where multiple times throughout the day everyone needs to be sunscreened and then on top of that slathering everyone in bug repellent. It’s a process that I dread! We spent today at our pool and at Playa Flamingo, the beach by our hotel.
We had an excursion starting at 2 PM so we figured we’d stay close which also meant that we ate lunch at the resort. Not really how we roll but we ordered a few baskets of chicken fingers and fries and it seemed to be enough. We were being picked up from our resort at 2 PM for a sunset catamaran cruise. We were looking forward to getting out on the ocean and doing some snorkeling. We’ve done a few of these catamaran trips in the past and it’s a little bit of a crapshoot. You never know if you’re going to get on a boat with tons of other people and because drinks are always provided (including alcohol) you never know if those cruising with you are going to be partiers or not. We just so happened to be the only family on the boat today and even worse was that there was a large group of singles. I heard one man from the UK say to one of the other singles in his group that he didn’t feel like he can be an adult with children around. Which I guess implies that to him being adult is drunk and inappropriate. It was still fun even though there were more people than I would have preferred.
The area that they took us out to go snorkeling was gorgeous, however the water was pretty murky and we only saw a few varieties of fish. Justin, Abigail, and Jason were able to go out on a paddleboard for a little while which was fun and they had a special board that Drew could lay on and look into the water without really even getting in the ocean.
They provided quite a bit of food and it was quite tasty. The drinks were bottomless although that’s not nearly as big of a deal if you’re not drinking alcohol. The weather was beautiful and we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the water…
Again, more evening swimming at the resort and then showers, an Oreo snack and then an early bedtime.
