Tres Vidas - Day 3 ACA

Monday morning started with fresh fruit, juice and a beautiful view



We've had schefflera plants for years, but never one that bloomed!



Jerry ... waiting on Carlos



Monkeying around



Our friend Ramon made arrangements with his client - who lives in Mexico City, but owns a home in Acapulco - for us to use his country club membership at Tres Vidas.

Turns out that Carlos was out until dawn (again) with the guests in Casa Las Colinas and missed our 10am pick-up entirely. Fredo improvised by loading us all into his VW Jetta and driving us out there. We were OK with this because Carlos actually had two "fender benders" on our tour the day before. Apparently, he doesn't drive well with no sleep!



It was a beautiful place - Jerry and Jason played golf



... and Melissa, the boys and I enjoyed the club.



REALLY enjoyed this pool



Just past the pool, there was a beautiful "black sand" beach - it was very soft



A huge piece of driftwood had washed up down the beach



The waves were large, but after some prompting Luke and Zach jumped in.



Since we were the only guests in this area of the club, the lifeguard came out and stood next to the boys - to fish them out of the waves if necessary - and later he offered to teach them to boogie board. Zach was an enthusiastic participant.

Here they are paddling out for the first time



Good ride!



We watched from the beach - amazed at how fearless Zach was in the big waves



He really caught on quickly and seemed unconcerned the few times he "wiped-out"



You can see how high the waves were - it wasn't easy to get out there!



I love this picture because he's really gotten the hang of it and looks like a natural - using his arms to steer instead of holding onto the board



Luke got in two good rides, as well



The guys only played 12 holes and came back a little early for lunch and beach time



After we all got cleaned up, we shot some family photos
