Dorine and I traveled to Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico with almost all of our family, arriving on Sunday afternoon, June 17 (after spending Saturday night in Tempe, Arizona), and staying until Wednesday, June 20 (spending another night in Tempe on the way home). We stayed at "Casa Alhaja," the beach house of which our son-in-law Easton's parents, Steve and Jeannie Hamblin, are part owners. (The last two summers, Dorine and I had gone down to Mexico to spend time in Puerto Peñasco at Steve and Jeannie's invitation; this year Dorine had her heart set on taking all of our kids and grandkids down, and we owe the Hamblins a great debt for facilitating things and getting us a screaming deal on the house.) It was an arduous drive from Albuquerque for a "mere" three nights at the beach, and it's always a bit of an adventure to drive into Mexico, but otherwise things worked out great and I think everyone had a great time. Among other people, our party included: (1) Devery and Easton and their kids, who first spent time with the Hamblins at "Casa Alhaja" and then stayed a couple more nights with us; (2) Dorine's brother Don and his wife Margarita and daughter Rosita, who actually stayed two more nights in Puerto Peñasco (in a hotel) after we left; and (3) Darren and his girlfriend Cait Brobst, who flew into Phoenix from Utah to drive into Mexico with us (and then flew back to Utah from Phoenix on the return trip).
