Now, what did I do in Mexico?....Oh yeah! That’s right, this is what I did in Mexico.
The first time I went to Cancun, Mexico. My sister and I have never been to Mexico before. My parents have been there before. I already knew a lot of things about Mexico before I went there. I knew it would still be fun, especially going with my family. Going through the airports was the hardest thing for me since it was my first time getting on a plane. We had to make sure that we would all get on the same plane at the same time and have all of our stuff with us too. When we got there it was dark, but the lights that were on were really cool.

We got to do lots of fun things. Like we got to go swimming with dolphins and got to swim in the ocean and in the pool. We also got to go eat at a lot of restaurants and try new foods that they had. Snorkeling with my dad was also really fun. My mom and my sister didn’t want to do it. My sister doesn’t like fish and my mom just doesn’t like fish swimming around her. So they both just took pictures.
Around the 3rd day we were there, we got on a boat to go see the dolphins. When we got off the boat there were so many people there in the pools, with the dolphins, eating food, and just relaxing. My family did that until it was our turn to go do fun activities with the dolphins.

Around noon we went to the cool infinity pool they had there that you could see far away and was next to a small restaurant, you also could have your drink in the pool in you sat on the seat
