Sister's Retreat 2010

In May, my sisters and I went to Rocky Point, Mexico for a little get away. My sister Debbie has a place there and graciously opened it up to us. Rocky Point is a good 8 hour drive from Vegas, if not more. Debbie lives in Mesa, AZ, which is only about 3 1/2 hours from Rocky Point, so most of us flew to AZ on a Wednesday evening. Thursday Morning we woke up and headed to Mexico for 3 days of fun!

There were nine of us that were able to make it. We were still missing three sisters and three sister in-laws. I am bummed they didn't get to come because those three days were very bonding. We finally had time to visit without the constant pull of our children. We have really never had an opportunity like this. I was able to realize just how much I truly love and admire ALL of my sisters.

Here is a picture of the group. You should have seen all of us trying to figure out the timer on our cameras and then trying to position ourselves in the right spot. I think we did a pretty good job. Also, Jenny, which is in the top row, second one in from the right, is actually my sister Debbie's sister in-law but we all like her so much that we claim her as our own.



The place was absolutely beautiful! We read, ate, visited, ate, swam, ate, slept, ate, and played. When I say played, I mean I really played. I felt like I was 8 years old again. It helped that I had my sisters there. We played Marco Polo, had tea parties under water, did tricks in the pool, played volleyball, 'tried' to boogie board, and laughed our hearts out. I have a feeling that I embarrassed several of my sisters.

Not only did we absorb up all the relaxation we could, but my brother in-law Jon paid for all of us to have a spa treatment of our choice. He and Debbie truly spoiled us on this trip! It was so much fun and I hope we get the opportunity to do it again.

Then Sunday came and it was time for us to go home. Very sad. :-( But as much fun as I had, I was ready to see Jess and the kids. It's always nice coming home and knowing you were missed.
