A Family Getaway during the Pandemic to reconnect

A little while ago we had the fortune to take a little getaway during the pandemic, just 45 minutes away, in Mexico. The cool thing is that although it is close, you feel that you traveled a lot because it is another country.

We have been to this same place (Rosarito) several times in recent years because we have a friend who lends us the apartment there, so it makes it easier. For a long time, I wanted to share it here because and show you that even if it is something simple and close, going to another place for two nights (when you can!) is something that helps all of our mental health and even more during a pandemic.

Usually, it’s the same thing, the four of us in the same house, but just changing places even if it’s still just the four of us helps us bond.

We did this little trip from a Friday at noon to a Sunday afternoon, we watched movies in the apartment, we ate a couple of times (with precautions) outside in the restaurants that we found open, and we got into the pool (a little bit) and the Jacuzzi, the beach was too cold! But it was really nice to walk it.

Due to the pandemic, there are many places that are closed and you cannot do normal activities but just walking on the beach, being in contact with nature automatically gives you peace of mind and I have learned that it really does recharges your energy.

The kids don’t get excited as much as they used to when they were little and they usually say that it is SO boring to go for a walk… But once we are there they go and run, explore, jump around and I know they are having fun, nature never disappoints! Of course, when we finished the walk they still say it was boring hahaha! I love it because I take photos of them, the beach, anything really… It feeds my creativity!

This getaway during the pandemic felt so short but we recharged quite a bit. It has been already like 3 months since we did it, we kind of need another one now!! Where do you like to go to recharge and reconnect as a family?

PS: My favorite two places we went: Monociclo for coffee and Enelmar restaurant with such a pretty view!

UNA ESCAPADA EN FAMILIA DURANTE LA PANDEMIA PARA RECONECTAR

Tuvimos la fortuna hace poquito de echarnos una escapadita durante esta pandemia aquí cerquita a 45 minutos, en Mexico. Lo chévere es que aunque está cerquita uno se siente que viajó bastante porque es otro país.

Hemos ido varias veces en los últimos años al mismo lugar porque tenemos un amigo que nos presta el apartamento que tiene ahí, entonces se hace más fácil. Pero desde hace tiempo lo quería compartir por aquí porque les quiero mostrar que aunque sea algo simple y cerca, irse dos noches a otro lugar (¡cuando se puede!) es algo que ayuda tanto a la salud mental de la familia y aún más durante una pandemia.

Usualmente estamos los cuatro igual en la casa, pero cambiar de lugar y estar sólo los cuatro ayuda a reconectar.

Este viajecito lo hicimos desde un viernes al medio día hasta un domingo en la tarde, vimos pelis en el apartamento, comimos un par de veces afuera en los restaurantes que encontramos abiertos y con precauciones, nos metimos en la piscina (un poquitico) y el jacuzzi, la playa no porque demasiado frío pero si la caminamos chévere.

Debido a la pandemia hay muchos lugares que están cerrados y no se pueden hacer las actividades normales pero el sólo pasear por la playita, estar en contacto con la naturaleza automáticamente te da paz mental y he aprendido que te recarga las energías.

Los niños ya están grandes y muchas veces dicen que aburrido ir a caminar… Pero en cuanto estamos ahí van y corren, exploran, brincan y se que se divierten, la verdad la naturaleza nunca decepciona. Claro, cuando terminamos el paseo igual dicen que fue aburrido jajaja! A mi me encanta porque le tomo fotos a ellos, a la playa, a cualquier cosa, mi lado creativo se alimenta mucho.

Este paseo se sintió cortico pero nos recargamos bastante. Fué ya hace como 3 meses, ya necesitamos otro!! ¿Adonde les gusta irse ustedes a recargar energías y reconectar en familia?

PD: Mis dos lugares favoritos de la zona: Monociclo para el cafecito y el restaurante Enelmar con una vista linda!
