It barely counts as a last day in Mexico, seeing as the entire day was spent travelling away from Mexico.

We got up at 5:15am, Mexico time, which is like 2:15am Vancouver time. We’re adjusted to Mexico time, but this post will switch to Vancouver time at some point, and I need you to know that I’ve been awake all day.

Miranda and I were awake earlier than our alarm, so we quickly finished packing, stuffed some yogurt into the kid and caught a shuttle to the airport a half hour before we’d planned to.

At the airport, we zoomed through the check in line, and the security line and had a decent breakfast at Air Margaritaville. Miranda got her first wine of the day here. I decided to start stopping drinking as much, and had tea.

The flight was long. Ava screamed before she fell asleep, which we both found very stressful.

Caught a cab home and got to unpacking some easy things, and ordered Boston Pizza delivery.

Ava and I walked up to the park. Miranda and I both felt she needed some outside time to help ease us back into Vancouver time (it’s about 3pm PST now, 6pm Mexico, so we’re pretty close to Ava bed time…).

There was a lot of kids at Edmonds park, and we had an absolute blast climbing stuff and going down the slide. Maybe helped by a slightly manic mood from both of us, but I’m really glad we went.

Home again, played for a bit before we put her down to bed at 6:30pm PST, 9:30pm Mexico. Almost 2 hours past her bed time from yesterday. She passed out immediately.

Miranda said our goal is to make it to 9pm. I’m feeling really good, like energetic and maybe a little crazy. Miranda is now lying down watching the Bach, and she saying she’s not going to make it to 9pm. I made bread, and it’s weird and delicious.

This won’t be the last post, there will be a summary/best of post tomorrow sometime, but this will be the last in the series! I’m sure I’ll be vacationing again soon…
