Traveling with kids

Where did you stay your other times? Your post reminds me of the first time we took our four kids (~16years ago) ranging from 3 to 12 with the 3 oldest being boys. We stayed at a Las Urracas a wonderful one star (if that)bungalow complex right in the middle of La Ropa beach. The boys boy's day included a good breakfast, then soccer with their new Mexican amigos (one is an amigo with my oldest to this day), then bimbo bread and peanut butter and jam, boogie board, bimbo bread etc, soccer, bimbo bread, boogie board, bimbo bread, soocer, .....what I'm getting at is that it's pretty nice staying at a place sandwich making distance from the beach. Very convenient. It was really handy having a fridge. Either way, I hope you have a great time. Mexico and Zihua is our family's favourite place. PS. Las Urracas might be a little rustic for you, but as they say...we didn't have a pot to pee in, but we loved the place and kept going back. There are other nice places with nice pools walking distance (one is about 200 yards) from the beach. ....now it might cost you about $125 to $150 for a 3 bedroom (in low season). Sorry for being so wordy, but we just got to 39 day mark to go and I'm getting a little excited.....yeah I know...pathetic.
