Today we begin our Mexican vacation! It has been a long, very snowy and cold winter so far and we are more than ready to leave for a few days in the sun. Gale’s niece, Alicia, is getting married on Saturday on the beach at the resort where we are staying and Gale is to officiate at the ceremony! We are escorting Gale’s parents, Gale Sr. and Mary, on this trip and decided that it would be a good idea to travel to Minneapolis the day before we take off since our flight is at 6:15 am out of the Humphrey Terminal. We left Clear Lake about 4:00 pm and after checking into the hotel, had a nice dinner at the Applebee’s restaurant nearby.
