Mexcio Beach Trip

A couple weekends ago, Chris and I went to the beach! Can you believe the beach is only a three hour drive from Phoenix?! Yep, Rocky Point, Mexico, is a short three hours away. Phoenicians call it Rocky Point, but Mexicans call it Puerto Penasco.

The trip was Matt and Aeree's idea so they did all the planning. They even drove! I felt totally spoiled with such great guides on my first roadtrip across the border.

We stayed at a small townhouse directly on the beach in an area called Las Conchas. (You step off the back porch and you hit the beach!)

The focus of the trip was relaxing so we didn't do much else. We ate (brought all our own food), drank, talked, played in the sand, napped, read, swam. Eventually we did go into town to look around, but our focus was definitely on the beach.

Saturday the water was pretty choppy and there was a cool breeze. Sunday the wind died down and the water was almost completely smooth. I spent hours in the ocean on Sunday. We saw all sorts of interesting crabs and fish, but the dolphins were certainly the biggest surprise. A few hundred yards (or maybe closer) from where we were swimming, a pod of dolphins swam by. It made me giddy. On Sunday, the beach was so perfect, I felt like I had to be dragged out of the water.

Everyone had a lovely trip and we can't wait to do it again. (If Matt would hurry up and buy that condo on the beach, we'd ALWAYS have a place to stay down there!)

See all the pictures from our trip.
