Wednesday october 11th we left for my moms 70th Birthday trip. We left the kids home with Benji in charge again! Benji worked all week so I think the other kids did the work. They are amazing kids! So all 12 of moms kids and their spouses at an all inclusive in Belize! Salt Lake to Dallas 5:19am. Then Dallas to Belize City 10:09am.

We didn’t even go to sleep tuesday night. We packed and said goodbye and left for the airport around 2am. We picked up Sean and Jana and were off. In Dallas we met up with the California crew.

Once we got to Belize City we took a small airplane to Dangriga and then an hour in a van to Hopkins – Belizean Dreams Resort. They rolled out the red carpet for mom and then had to remake all of our welcome drinks when we told them that none of us drink alcohol.

We got settled in our rooms/houses and headed for the beach, pool, bar! We stayed in the same house as Kevin and Liz! Once we got to the bar someone ordered a “chunky monkey” and I was hooked the rest of the trip – a chocolate banana shake!

The pool water and the ocean were literally 95 degrees. The entire resort holds maybe 100 people but we were the main group. There were a few other couples there. It was small but nice and dinner was a menu instead of a buffet. It was pretty awesome.
