I was hyped for the drinks, and as soon as I got to the resort, I ordered a mango mojito.&nbsp; It hit the spot, after a stressful semester.  The next day, we spent at the beach and pool.  My brother&#8217;s girlfriend and I spent our day laying in lounge chairs sipping on mojitos from our favorite bartender, Antonio. &nbsp; The rest of the family went scuba diving, which I failed my test and had no desire to die under water.  I&#8217;m more into land sports, such as golf and basketball.   We enjoyed the sun and drinks all day and I was very much in my happy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Christmas, my dad and I went golfing at the local golf club.  It was my first time swinging a club in about a year, so I was a little rusty.  Still was a fun time.  We saw lots of wildlife on the course.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the last day, I went snorkeling.&nbsp; I was hesitant to do so, because I had seen jellyfish in the water that week and had no desire to get stung.  I went anyway, because I thought that it&#8217;d be a fun experience.  For the time that I was in the water, I saw a little sea turtle.  Then I started getting stung by jellyfish, and I decided to get out because I couldn&#8217;t take the pain anymore. I just enjoyed myself on the boat instead, soaked up the sun and drank cervezas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> These photos were all taken on my phone.  It is a pain in the ass to lug around my heavy camera, especially when there is a chance it could get water and sand in it, or even get damaged.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you liked last weeks blog, then check out Becca&#8217;s page! <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/weddingsmadeeasy\/\">http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/weddingsmadeeasy\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adios, Chicago!
