Viva La Mexico!!

As you can see, I'm a little behind in my blogging! I made a list of 24 posts I need to do... yikes!! Here is to catching up!!

After our cruise and Christmas break we jumped back into the swing of things with school. But our next adventure was right around the corner. 

Daniel's parents arranged a getaway to Mexico for all of his siblings and their spouses in February. We went to a place off the coast of Cancun called Isla Mujeres. It was so much fun!! Everyone was able to come except Ryan and Heather who were getting ready to send Maddie off on her mission (that post will follow next!!)

Headed to the airport!!

Here's the Florida crew ready to depart!!

Christine was my airplane partner!

Of course we had to stop on the way from the airport to the ferry for some tacos!!

And we made it to the hotel!! It was beautiful!!

We changed right into our suits and enjoyed the beach!

Me and Leah!

Countless games of Spikeball!!!

We found another really beautiful beach where we sunbathed, snorkeled and took lots and lots of pictures for Kara and Shelly's swimsuit company, Raising Wild.

 We had a family devotional one night, Mexican themed of course!!

Paddle boarding with Erika... yes please!!

 We swam with the dolphins! I have to admit it's something that was never on my "bucket list" but it should have been!! It was so fun. The dophins were so smart!! I really loved it!

So I tried a thing.... SCUBA DIVING!!! After a quick course in the hotel pool we were set to jet!! And I'll have to say that I didn't really like it. I survived it, though. It was stressful, the breathing, the balancing, the equalizing. I experience a bit of nausea on the ascend. Just keep me at the top of the water where I am safe and sound, please. But I am happy I tried it and did it!!

 Lots of late night hotel games and shenanigans.  

 Just about every night we went into "town." Lots of fun shopping, eating, walking, and churros!!

 I will say I could have used a bit more time relaxing on the beach... but I suppose that isn't as much fun. 

So the preferred mode of transportation around the island... golf cart!! We felt like seasoned professionals since our stay in Belize. It was quite the line-up this go around! 

We didn't eat at the hotel very much, but we enjoyed regular breakfast together, beachside!

Cute picture of the little down town area. 

 

Our final meal in Mexico!!
