Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Well the last two days might be my favourite days yet. I convinced everyone to leave the villa before 10 yesterday morning and we headed to another new beach, Playa Panamá. It’s the next beach to the north of us, so less than a 10 minute drive.

This beach so far has been the most child friendly. It has these huge mangrove trees all along the beach so there’s plenty of shade. It’s nice and quiet with barely anyone else on it (my kind of beach) and the water is much calmer than any of the other beaches we have been on which means we can actually let the kids bob around without worrying about them being sucked out into the Pacific Ocean. We spent a few hours on the beach before we headed back to the villa for lunch.

Quiet time today allowed me to finish my second book of vacation (!) while the kids coloured in their journal before they practiced their swimming again. For the late afternoon and evening we headed back to Aqua Sport for some pizza and beers on the beach.

We did basically the same thing again today – back to Playa panama for the morning and then mixed it up and went for ice cream in Playa del Coco before heading to our third beach of the day for supper.

But don’t worry, it’s not all sunshine and roses. I’m currently suffering through the sounds of bad karaoke drifting down the mountain while I write this – mambo number five is the current selection. And I had to wash everyone’s underwear in the sink since I’m not paying $0.75 a pair to have the resort clean it. Small prices to pay for 35 degrees and sunny 😉
