I will be heading back to the sandy shores of Mexico for a few nights. Brent and I met in Rocky Point on trip with some mutual friends. We haven't been down there since adding kids to our family. It holds a special place in our hearts. The picture above is from one of our last trips there. With Summer Vacations coming quickly I'm going to check out Rocky Point for you and post reviews, photos and fun things to do while you're there!
We will be staying at the Princessa de Penasco which looks absolutely beautiful with lots of fun for the whole family. Water slides into the pools and even a lazy river (which I can't wait to float along). I will be posting many photos you can watch for the hastags #ArizonasBeach #ArizonasBeachEastMesaMacaroniKid to follow along, I will even find something awesome to giveaway when I come back home!
Feel free to ask any questions you have along the way and I will try to answer them all! For those of you wondering about Passports to head over to Rocky Point, I hear they are not extremely strict if you bring your Birth Certificate and a Photo ID. We will only have Birth Certificates and Photo ID, I will let you know how that goes! Hopefully we've been corrrectly informed or else I might become the new Rocky Point Macaroni Kid Publisher.
