Thanks to my break from boozing the 3rd day – I was up bright and early on our 4th day – ready to seize the day!  I went to the gym and spent 30 minutes on the elliptical.  Yay for actually working out once on vacation!

After all that moving around – I thought we should take it easy so we spent the whole morning laying out on the beach – being served drinks.

The best part about it all (surprisingly – I am not going to say the fact that they had waitresses to serve you your drinks so you never had to get up) – we were laying out on the beach, but the pool was literally right behind us. Best of both worlds! (I like LOOKING at the ocean – but when it comes to swimming – I’m a pool girl, 100%!)

Swim Up Bar Pool/Large Adult Toilet: 

Once we got hungry – we went to the outdoors restaurant, right next to the pool, and I got these amazing nachos:

and was then ready for my afternoon nap!

While we were laying around the room, getting ready for the evening – Mike and I were watching Mexican MTV – and are now obsessed with this song by Panda: (at 0:36 – I’m pretty sure he says “I’m a cookie guy…”)

I mean – does that seriously rock or what? I may or may not be listening to it on repeat right now! 

To go with my new found Mexican jams – a dirty martini in bed?  Don’t mind if I do. 

Vacation is the best!

Once I needed another drink finally got out of bed – we went to dinner at the authentic Mexican restaurant at the resort – El Patio.  Just like every where else at the resort – I loved all the decor!!!

They really like for you to drink at this place. (this shouldn’t be news if you read Recap 1, 2, or 3). Only 2 of the 6 (the last margarita is hiding) drinks on the table we actually ordered. But they brought us margaritas and wine just in case.  I like that they want to play things safe. 

We got 2 appetizers to start.  First – Fire Roasted Salsa (that had an AWESOME kick to it!), Pico de Gallo, and Guacamole (that tasted oddly “banana-y” )

Second – this awesome seafood quesadilla (shrimp, scallops & octopus) – I couldn’t get a good picture of the inside – but the presentation was still lovely!

My meal: Chicken & Beef Fajitas (Mike ate the beef part) – the little cones are filled with salsa, guac, and black beans!

Mike got some fancy fajita-ish meat plate: (quite the appetizing description, no?)

Both of our dishes were really quite amazing!  And for the first time on the trip – we actually ate a “normal” amount!

Don’t worry though – after dinner (and apparently an outfit change for me) we went out for a few more drinks -

– and then decided we weren’t okay with this “eating a normal amount” thing – so we ordered room service, and passed out. 

One more recap left and I’m done!  (:sad: for me, probably for you because you are sick of hearing about it!)
