Mexico

This past weekend we went to our friend's parent's beach house (Casa Potterf) near Rocky Point. Our party consisted of the Potterf and their 4 cute daughters, Adam and Ashley Levine, and Jake and I. We had a blast!! We relaxed, went to the beach, bargain shopped, played games (SCUM), and watched movies. It was really nice because it was on a private beach. Jake and I went out almost every morning while the tide was out (about 5am) and picked up huge shells, coral and sand dollars. We even found a dead seahorse (which I kept), a dead jellyfish, and many sea cucumbers.

One early evening we saw something not moving out in the water right in front of our beach and not far from the shore. It looked like a dolphin at first and then we thought it may be a sea turtle upside down. The guys went out to investigate. Jake even went out fully clothed in the ocean chest deep to get a closer look. It turned out to be a sea lion sunbathing. It stayed in one place for the longest time. We weren't sure if it was sick and would die and wash up on the beach, but we never saw it again. Weird but cool.
