Mexico

         The plane touched down and I nearly jumped right out of my seat knowing that we were finally here. The blue skies soared over for miles with not one speck of white. Warm air greeted me while I happily wore a tank top and shorts. Lush, green grass was far away but it looked like a tropical rain forest from where I could see. I knew that my family's one week in Mexico would be a vacation that we'd never forget.
     For spring brake of 2006 my family had decided we would finally go on vacation, out of the state. Back in Minnesota there were blankets of snow on the ground and the air was bitter, cold. Mexico was the perfect place to escape to.
       After we had gotten our luggage and a car we hurried over to the hotel. It was giant. Two master bedrooms, a living room, and kitchen. The hotel also had giant pools that wrapped around everywhere. We stayed and relaxed there for two days but then headed out to go touring. We first went on little mo- peads and drove past the beaches. The waves crashed hard on to the the soft white sand it was unfortunately a stormy, windy day. When driving past houses Mexican people would stand out on their drive way and wave to us. We did the same. My favorite site seeing place was the old myan ruins. We got to go inside and all the rock made buildings which of course were mostly just walls and stumps. After I got one of my most favorite necklaces. It said my name in myan language, lettering, made of metal.
      We spent our last day at a beach on another perfect sunny day. It was also the first time I had ever been in an ocean. The salt water burned my eyes a ton so I played in the sand mostly. The time came for us to leave. We got back on an airplane and flew to Minnesota. It was the exact same as I had left it a week ago, blankets of snow and bitter cold air. Our time in Mexico was short but it was a vacation that I would never forget.
