Cancun

Sean and I went on our first long trip away from the kids. It was hard to leave them, but we had a memorable experience in Cancun. Sean's parents, brother and sister and their spouses invited us to join them. It was so much fun! Wish we were still there. The water was beautiful and the resort was so relaxing. We had some adventurous days and some great memorable moments with them... On the first day we went to Tulum (ancient Mayan ruins).





We ate at a very authentic Mexican restaurant right at the base of the ruins.



My first time drinking from a freshly cut coconut! Not as sweet as I thought, but it was neat to try.



These guys were performing on the hour... Pretty neat to watch.




The walls of the city were really thick.

This temple was in the center of the city.


Can you find the face?






On Day 2 we enjoyed a beach day. Sean went golfing with his dad and brother-in-law Josh in the morning. We also went sailing in the afternoon. We had a great time doing that!





We went out to dinner that night... Such a funny picture with the wind in my face. I couldn't get it to work right.





"All the pretty girls!"


On Day 3 we went on a boat ride to a small island. We stopped halfway for some great snorkeling. We saw lots of colorful fish, statues, and a sea turtle. Then we ate lunch and shopped on the island. We had a great time.













At the end of the boat trip, Sean decided to do some "Mexican parasailing" where you hang on for dear life and let the wind throw you around hanging on a rope with a leftover sail connected to the boat. haha. Good thing he landed without getting hurt!



On Day 4 we went to a place called "Explore." So fun! We had a great time. We couldn't take cameras on the zip line or in the caves, but we took pictures of pictures so they are kind of blurry. You can see some of the zip lines and the boat rides and swimming activities a little though. It was a blast...










On Day 5 we had to leave, but we spent some time that morning taking it all in...






Thanks guys! Mark and Nancy, you are the best! We had such a great time! It was hard to leave! We love you!
