My sister, brother-in-law and niece briefly lived in Mexico City. My brother-in-law took a job transfer to New Jersey... which meant as soon as I was home from Austin I needed to head south to Mexico.
My primary reason for heading to Mexico was to hang out with my family and see the life my sister was living before she moved again. I wanted to see the school my niece attended, my sister's favorite walking path, the local park, etc. Mike was in NJ on a business trip - so it was just us girls the first few days of my trip.
While Annabelle was at school, Jill and I went to the National Museum of Anthropology.
I was in Mexico City just before Halloween. I got to see Annabelle dressed up as Jessie. We went to a Halloween Party with Annie's Playgroup ~ it was so cute to see her with her friends!
When Mike returned from his trip - he and I ventured out to Las
Mananitas.
Located in Cuernavaca, it was hard to believe that we were headed to
such a beautiful, serene location while we were sitting in traffic
blocks from this hotel. We passed by the hotel a few times, looking for
a big hotel with luscious gardens surrounding the property. Instead
we pulled up near the hotel sign to valet the car and were quite
surprised that the sound of cars buzzing by immediately disappeared the
minute we exited the lobby, into the gardens.
We sat in the gardens and had some wine and appetizers before moving over to the restaurant for lunch. I had never seen peacocks roaming around outside of a zoo before, so that was a fun surprise.
| I had a great time in Mexico City. While I enjoyed the museum, I don't believe it is a place you need to see before you die. Las Mananitas, on the other hand, deserves to be on the list! So the next time you are in Mexico City - make your way to Cuernavaca... it is worth the trip! |
