made it to mexico

after a little scare and maybe a little luck,
the boys and i made it to mexico!

the view from our hotel





















we are so relieved because we almost didn't make it
{as least as a foursome}. here's what happened:

less than 2 days before our flight,
c noticed finn's passport had expired!
we had both just assumed it was current,
completely forgetting that children's passports are only good for 7 years,
{he's had his since he was 6 months old}

the day before our flight departed {we were flying out of tijuana, mexico},
we crossed the border on foot and visited the mexican immigration office.
we were fortunate to be able to get finn a tourist card,
which allowed him to be in the country for more than 72 hours. *woo hoo*

if that hadn't worked, we were discussing plans a, b and c.
leaving the boys and going alone, flying a grandma out, etc. whew!
a BIG lesson learned for us both.

we are here and relaxed now.
so relaxed, we completely forgot what day it was
and had to ask our waiter at lunch.
{a true sign one is on holiday right}

~ tomorrow won't be so relaxing.
c and i plan on doing this zipline tour.
i've always wanted to try this.
i'm SO excited!!
