Day 3 ~ Progresso, Mexico

On Wednesday we woke up in Progresso, Mexico. I was a little worried about this stop I have to say. I had heard a lot of not so great things about this place from a lot of different people but it actually ended up being pretty great! We all decided this vacation that we were not going to take an excursions and feel like we were rushed all day. Remember we were on vacation and our whole purpose was to relax. And that is exactly what we did. We took the bus into town from the cruise terminal and Jeff, dad and Truman made their way to the beach to just sit and have a few drinks, while the 3 girls went shopping a little. After being hounded for all of 30 minutes we decided that we had, had enough and went to catch up with the boys. We literally (no lie) sat at a table on the beach under a thatched umbrella for 5 hours! There was a restraunt across the street that waited on you on the beach. We ordered drinks and chips and just chilled. Mom, Jeff, and Truman even got a massage on the beach for 10$.

While we were sitting there we noticed the mexican police swarm all over the beach talking to this family right in front of us. Come to find out the couples kids we no where to be found. Apparently the 2 little kids (who's age had to be between 3 & 7) wondered down the beach and their parents never saw it. After about 25-30 minutes the finally found them. Needless to say that family packed up quick and got back on the ship.
We made our way back to the ship about an hour before it was time to set sail again and did a little shopping at the terminal. Eventually retuned to the ship, ate some lunch and sat on the back deck as we sailed away from Progresso!

Notice the man standing there with the little boy.. In just a few short minutes he was GONE!
Now notice the police all over the beach!
Getting their massages. Had their been an empty table I would have been right up there with them. I mean seriously, 10 bucks for 1 hour!

Did I mention that we also got balloon hats?
Mom, I know what your saying..... But its Vacation!

No Comment!

The back of our ship. The deck 2nd from the top on the far right is where we sat as the ship sat sail to our next destination!

Makes you feel pretty small even in the picture huh?

I can't end this post without our nightly towel animal. This by far was my favorite!
