We didn't take the kids on this trip which definitely made for a more relaxing time.. of course, we spent most of the trip saying how much the kids would love it.. so we promised to bring them back. I know, big of us..to agree to go again, haha!!
Jeremy and I spent the first few days of the trip in Cancun just the 2 of us. The beach was beautiful, I realized I had never been to a beach that the sun doesn't set on. Both mornings I tried to make it up in time to watch the sun rise over the Caribbean, but it never happened.
In the first 24 hours of the trip, Jeremy lost his hat (left on plane), sunglasses (swept away by a wave), and swim trunks (OK that was my fault, I hung them over the railing on a windy day..)
We ate. A LOT. The more lime, cheese and cilantro my meal has, the better
We met up with two of my closest friends from college Becky and Mica and their husbands- Josh and Neil. (Mica and Neil came a day after Becky and Josh)
Most of these pics are out of order but you get the idea.
Mica Becky and I playing in the waves!
The beautiful villa we stayed in! Can be yours for only 1.2 mil!
Friends.
Jeremy had never been snorkeling before. This is one of what seems like hundreds of murky photos he took:) The turtles were huge though and just off the shore!
Becky on her 30th birthday!
Our first day in Playa del Carmen. Our new favorite place!! Go there instead of Cancun!
The pool and ocean at the first place we stayed, on our way to Playa del Carmen.
We learned a few lessons:
Don't rent a car in a foreign country. (OK unless you are Mica and Neil)
Don't eat at any restaurant right next to where the cruise ships unload. $16 nachos with fake cheese..really?!
Check your pockets for your cell phone at all times.
There's no shame in SPF75 sunblock.
Keep looking, you'll find "it" cheaper!
Don't trust pictures from the internet for your lodging..second place- GORGEOUS, first place-not so much...

Love the pictures. I want to go back one of these days too. I went 5 years ago with my sisters for my 25th bday. Maybe Jeremy and I will have to go sometime...btw, aren't the water and sand amazing there...they almost don't seem real!
Looks so amazing! Definitely a great way to spend time away from the Alaskan winter.

Seriously! Why are there so many pictures of me? And who said it was ok that I wear that hat?!? Hideous! The rest of the post was cute though :)
What a BLAST, Laura! I'm jealous! The more lime, cheese, cilantro you had the better? We really should do lunch one day. ;)
