Mexico

Thanks to our friends Ian and Adrienne we were able to take a vacation to Mexico! Adriennes' mom had a time share that she let us use for the week. We had never left the baby and never left the two older ones for longer than a weekend. I was very apprehensive so I agreed to 5 days. Of course they were fine and had a blast at both Grandparents houses. We stayed at the Grand Mayan Beach Resort, which was in between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. Our room was amazing. We had to master suites attached to a small kitchen and living room. We even had our own personal small pool on the deck. It was a beautiful resort and the pools were amazing. The beach was a bit rocky so we had no problem staying by the pools.

While the boys golfed, me and Adrienne headed down to Playa Del Carmen to do some shopping. We shopped mostly for silver. Adrienne found a very cute key shaped pendant to go with a silver chain and talked me into getting one to. I love it! Thanks Adrienne. The nightly entertainment was very interesting as well. We'll just say it include a whole lot of spandex outfits. Not only on the girls but the guys as well.

We took a day trip to Tulum which are Mayan Ruins. We spent two hours on a catamaran boat. We then stopped at the reef to snorkel. Only Nick decided to do this. We took small boats to the beach and spent some time. From there we took a van to the ruins. I actually learned quite a lot of interesting information. As we were walking through the ruins iguanas were right next to us walking to.

On our second excursion we decided to go to this park called Explor. They had zip lines, jeep safari, cave rafting, and cave swimming. No Nick and I are not naked driving the Jeep :) We did have swimsuits on. It was pretty fun.

It was great to spend some alone time with Nick. Our life can get pretty crazy and it was good for us to just relax and enjoy spending time with our friends. Thanks again Ian and Adrienne. We had a lot of laughs, and some great conversations.
