Cancun ~Day 3~

Day 3 started out with an amazing sunrise down at the point of the island where we snorkeled the day before.

Panoramics from all sides of the point.

Blow hole!


During the day, we went swimming and read our books.
We also played some great games of Speed (cards) while we ate nachos with some awesome salsa that made my mouth burn for an hour after. YUMMY!!


I am such a lucky girl!!







LOVE IT!!



We did a lot of walking on the beach. We found some fun shells to take home to the boys. Here are some pics of our evening walk.












We woke up early most mornings, and the earliest reservation for the restaurants started at 6:30. We would be exhausted from a day of playing and go to bed right after we ate.
I love having a ocean view and listening to the waves roll in at night.
It always reminds me of the college nights in Hawaii.....so soothing!




Since we ate so early, we had the whole restaurant to ourselves.
Which meant GREAT service and Spanish lessons from the waiter. :)
We even danced to the music!
The food was AMAZING! My mouth is still watering from the shrimp wrapped in Mahi Mahi. They must have cooked it in butter, because it was to die for!
Billy's beef tenderloin and rack of lamb was great also!



.....Another great day in Paradise with my baby!!

Cancun ~Days 1-2~























We're back from our amazing trip to Mexico and Belize!! It is great to be back with my sweet boys, but I miss the warmth of the sun! This morning I woke up to snow on the ground; it just isn't the same after you have been able to have warm sand between your toes and know that there are endless possibilities for fun in the warm weather. It was so nice to wake up and decide if we going to ride the beach cruisers on the cobble stone roads and pick up a pineapple for breakfast, or ride them on the beach and take a little longer to where we want to go.

We did a ton, so I am going to break it up in a few posts.
We took the red-eye out of Seattle and landed in Cancun on Dec. 5th. We learned rather quickly that it wasn't going to be cheap Mexican prices like Billy had planned on. The government won't let taxi drivers pick people up at the airport. It cost $30 for a ride to our hotel, which was 3 miles away. Once we arrived at our hotel we took plenty of walks on the beach and a few on the road, but didn't venture out too far. Our hotel was great, we liked the food and it was nice to get some sun and read our books on the beach. We most likely had at least 5 pina-coladas each day! YUM!
I was excited that they had tennis courts, and we had fun playing most days. The water was absolutely beautiful and we would go swimming, get some sun, swim, get more sun, go snorkeling, swim and boogie board.
