Spartans in Mexico!

Well we just returned from the "Week two" trip of the Football staff trip to Mexico. What a great time with a great group of people. We certainly feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such an amazing staff and program. Most of the gang went the first week and a much smaller group of us went on week two. Winter conditioning must go on so somebody had to stay back and mind the fort. We left on a Charter out of Lansing on Monday morning and came back Friday.


Tommy loads up on beverages for the bus ride to the resort


starting the trip off right!


we hit the pool bar immediately!

Tommy chillin with a book and a few drinks nearby...

Dinner at the Brazilian restaurant


Mmmmmmm Caipirinha's!!!


great catamaran snorkeling trip


saw a spotted eagle ray right off the bat!








then they flew this spinnaker with a swing attached...


CRAZY!




Here goes Tommy...




they flew about 30 feet in the air


and got whipped to the right...to the left...




that did NOT look like fun to me!


Tommy had a great dismount - damn close to a triple lindy but I missed it on camera


a little local flair


Liz getting into the Mariachi band!



Matt and Jeff


Margarita and Raoul Hoke


back at the pool bar double fisting it!




the guys getting ready for shots!


post tequila shot!


we got a  little silly on the beach




Every time I saw this sign I said "If you're drunken...PUSH". Tommy took my advice


First time I've been to an all inclusive with liquor dispensers IN the room! Fully stocked mini bar with mixers, sodas etc BUT try to get a bottle or even a glass of wine...forget about it!


dinner with the whole gang on the last night


We had a great time with GREAT people! Hope we win the Big Ten again and get to do it all over again next year!
