Cancun '09

Well... we are back from our very restful vacation. Kevin's Spring Break was last week and we took a little trip down to Mexico for 4 nights to celebrate our 2-year anniversary (3/31), and just take a little break from grown-up-life. Addison was very lucky and got to stay with her Mops and Pops while we were gone (only the second time we've left her overnight!), and from what I've been told, she did great.

Anyway... Cancun was awesome. We had great weather (in the 80s every day), and the resort we stayed at was an all-inclusive, so we ate way more than our share of food. Seriously, I gained back every pound I lost in preparation for vacation. Oh well, now I just start over again, right?!

We had a really rough flight down there, and then a shuttle to the hotel, so by the time we got there, I was ready to kick back and relax... When we got to the front desk to check-in, the guy asked us if we were celebrating anything special, and when we told him it was our anniversary he upgraded our room for free! Wasn't that nice?! So, we ended up with this INCREDIBLE corner room that had an extra big living area, 3 huge windows, a double-sized balcony, and views off both sides of the resort... it was pretty dang awesome... here are a few pics...

The view off of one side of our balcony... The first sunrise off the other side of the balcony...

The first full day we were down there we just hung out by the main pool and relaxed. The place was incredible...

Dinner on our second day...

On the third day we were down there, we rented a 2-person speedboat. We were supposed to go on a Jungle Tour, through the lagoon, and out the canal to the ocean where we would snorkel. Unfortunately, it was pretty windy that day so the canal was closed to boats, so we just took the Jungle Tour and went out in the lagoon. It was still really awesome!!

Going through the jungle!

Our third night, after dinner...

The last full day we were there, we got to the pool super early, and stayed at the pool or on the beach until the sun was starting to go down... so, it is this day that I blame for my now peeling forehead... but, it was great...

There was this guy on the beach that had a chimp... crazy, I know... and he was charging people $12 each for a polaroid with him... Needless-to-say, I wasn't paying $12 for a picture with him, so I took my own...

And then, this is our last night in Cancun... My cousin and his girlfriend were down there at the same time, staying in the same place (yes, we knew before we went that we were all going to be there, but isn't it kinda creepy that we were going to the same place on vacation, and staying at the SAME HOTEL?!... weird)... anyway... we had dinner with them the first night we were there (which I don't have pictures of), and the last night...

And, while our vacation was absolutely amazing (and much needed), getting home to this might have just been the best part...
