Since it was Sunday and all that, Ken (good friend and fellow off-road vehicle enthusiast) came by to convince us to do something fun. After very little thought we decided to head on over to Playa Conchal. The beach is about 40 minutes away and absolutely beautiful. And there are a few stretches of loose sand that you have to drive over to get to the place we were headed, so it sorta counts as an offroad trip, well... not really, but at least it contains a brief portion where 4wd is useful, and sometimes necessary.
But I digress. The real reason we liked the idea of going there is the sheer beauty of the place and the fact that it has nice clear water and snorkeling and is a fine place to play with the new waterproof housing for our camera (by the way, visit www.thegrowcerystore.com. Good people).
So to the beach we went after loading up, meeting up, loading up some more, etc etc

The day was spectacular, the kids were fun to play with, the water couldn't have been more comfortable. Due to some wind it was a little turbid and choppy, so snorkeling wasn't all that great, but we took a couple of pictures anyway. Fun day, fabulous place.

Here we see Steve getting a little artistic and trying out the macro capabilities of the camera and housing. Bb and Jen did some mermaid impressions too. Takes a touch of photoshop to restore colors, but the pictures come out pretty well.
