If you're like me, you're constantly pondering on things that happened within the last year or two. Share some with us, I think this might be interesting.
Rocky Point, Mexico, 2007
My mom and I drove down there from Phoenix for a little summer vacation. The drive down there was pretty bland; "There's a mountain! And a cactus! ...and some more mountains... and some more cacti..." We finally made it to a town, don't remember the name... Might've been Gila Bend. Anyway, small town, just a dairy queen and some gas stations on the side along with a few houses. We stopped and ate at the Dairy Queen and got some blizzards for the road. We drove straight through then to Rocky Point. At first it didn't look like much, just some streets overloaded with piece of stuff cars and people flooding the streets. We got out to the street with our hotel on it, to find that there was loving sand everywhere. I mean like sand dunes. And what good are sand dunes without ATV rentals? Those were everywhere. We checked in and went down to the beach (which was conveniently located right in front of our resort, the Playa Bonita). What a site, the clear blue water with boats of every kind everywhere, including the occasional pirate ship for entertainment that had a little party on it. We rode on a long tube that was pulled by a boat around in the water, which was fantastic. At night, the tide went down and my mom and I went down and were in awe of how far it went down. We messed around in the streams that went down to the ocean and attempted to make a sand castle; neither of us prevailed. Another night we went to ride on one of those pirate ships. We got on at dusk and it was easily 11 PM when we got off. They had a bar with free drinks on it offered to everyone aboard; I got a root beer and my mom got a daiquiri. People starting dancing to music (the Macarena) and my mom got seasick and sat with her head slumped over the edge half the time vomiting. I remember there was a much less inhabited part of the peninsula which had great beaches still but was more deserted. We found a brilliant restaurant there which my mom evidently had connections with and she got the bacon-wrapped shrimp the few times we went there. It came with almost a spicy ketchup sauce. We rented some ATVs later and rode around in the dunes, which was magnificent fun.. until my mom was driving and I was on back, and she went off a jump and there was another immediately after it and we hit it wrong and flipped. My mom got hurt and her boyfriend and I had to drive back to Phoenix. We came back the next day to find ourselves following a storm; most all the roads were flooded. We got back with some fireworks we got in Phoenix and lit them off on the beach outside the resort, which was our last night. We then went to a trailer my mom had reserved for us in a small, clean trailer park. It was very nice, the perfect place to get away from all the commotion during the day. I got second degree sunburn to the point where it hurt like a bitch to even wear a shirt.
That's a quick summary of that vacation; what's yours?
