Cancun

We took a trip back to Cancun for our 8th anniversary. This year Colette and KJ joined us. The first day we got to the hotel and checked in, grabbed some lunch and headed to the pool. We cleaned up to eat again and then headed to the theatre. It was Karoake night, and it was BAD. We had met a couple from Ohio at the pool and they were also hanging out with us. I suggested we go down to the beach and hang out. KJ and Colette had brought their IPod with speakers with them, so we took that down to the beach and had our own little private beach party. KJ was entertaining us all, and I haven't laughed that much and that hard in a long time. When we went back up to our room, my mascara was smeared all over my face.

The next morning at breakfast, KJ decided to go back to bed. He had a little bit too much fun at the beach party.

We headed to the pool. It was so hot outside. The water in the pool was pretty warm, and the later in the day it got, it was hot. To really get cooled off, you had to go get in the ocean. Our chairs were by the activity pool, and Brian volunteered Colette for the belly flop competition very early on. She was a good sport -pretty sure I was NOT going to join in that game. Then after lunch, Brian AGAIN volunteered Colette and I to take Salsa dancing lessons poolside. UMMMMMMMM, NO. We said "no" to probably 3 or 4 different people, and multiple times to some of them. However, somehow we both ended up at the poolside Salsa lessons! I was pretty embarrassed, but it did get us laughing.


After dinner the 2nd night, Brian took this picture of Collete and I. We are laughing hysterically.... Colette was trying to tell me she learned about this tip of exaggerating your arm out in photos... well, clearly we were exaggerated a little too much. While Brian was trying to take the picture, there was a family walking by pushing their stroller and looking at us like we had lost our minds.

Dinner the 3rd night with our favorite waiter, Edgar.. Brian and KJ pose with Edgar after dinner.

After dinner we headed out to do a little shopping for some souvenirs for the kids.

Last night at the beach.


We had time for a few hours of beach and pool time before we packed up and headed to the airport that last day. The water is so beautiful in Cancun.

On our shuttle back to the airport, we stopped at a traffic light right outside of this building "MAYA fair". I new Maya would like to see her name like this. Not too bad a picture considering it was taken through a window.

We had a fun trip!
