Travis and I returned this last week from Cancun, Mexico. We had a great time!!!! This was a special trip for us because for once (since Brayden's been born) we were alone on a vacation. The hotel we stayed at- The Sun Palace- has one of the most beautiful beaches in Cancun. The sand is so soft and white and the water aqua blue just can't be beat. We were pampered at our all-inclusive hotel. You step out on the beach and immediately someone comes to set up lounge chairs and an umbrella. Then a waitress comes and takes our drink orders and any food we want. We could pretty much eat and drink all day if we wanted. Room service was included and even free calls to the USA. There were four restaurants at the hotel plus numerous bars and snack bars. We LOVED the Mexican restaurant (go figure), and The Steak where you could order any steak you wanted (Travis loved this!).
Also included in this hotel was free tours. One day we took a trip to the Isla Mujeres which is a small island about a 45 minute boat ride from Cancun. The boat ride was fun, but our favorite part was renting the golf cart on the island and checking out all the sites. That was fun, relaxing and adventurous! We finished off the day shopping in the market and bought presents to bring home for the kids. Another tour we did was a Zip line tour! That was so fun and something I'm so proud of myself for doing. We were up very high with a jungle scenery down below. The swamp even had crocodiles in it:)
Our favorite thing to do was sit on the beach and read and relax. Travis always had a Pina Colada in his hand, and I couldn't get enough chips and salsa. When we got hot we just jumped in to the ocean (which felt like a bathtub) and cooled off. This was definitely a trip we will never forget. We were able to relax, spend some time bonding with God, and reconnect as a couple too. We are so thankful to our parents for taking the kids while we were gone. We missed the kids like crazy, but it was so good to get away. I've really appreciated them a lot more since we've been home. Although we loved Mexico, we can't wait to see where life will take us next!
