Our Anniversary in Mexico

We took a vacation to Mexico for our 10th Annivesary; the longest we have ever been away from our sons.  Mikel and I agreed this was our best trip yet.  We believe the reason is before we had children, relaxation and quiet were concepts that we took for granted.  Now we appreciate every minute that is ours.

We went to the Riveira Maya, which is south of Cancun next to Playa del Carmen.  It was so beautiful and tropical. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

The resort that we stayed at was the Grand Sunset Princess and it was incredibly beautiful and huge. We definitely got our exercise walking around.

The beach had soft white sand and the ocean water was warm, it was amazing!! This is all that we wanted for our vacation: to relax on the beach.

    

We have a (somewhat) similar picture of us on the beach when we were on our honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas.....I can't believe that it's been 10 years!

I didn't listen to Mikel and waited a few hours before applying sunblock....he called me "rock lobster" the rest of the trip!

There were Mayan sculptures throughout the resort.

We rode ATV's 15 miles through the jungle and the town of Playa.....it was so much fun!

We stopped to see the animals.

Who knew there are underground caves in the middle of the jungle? Incredible!

We zip-lined into a cenote together it was so much fun!

We did the zip-line a bunch of times, it was great!

Mikel diving in!

The fire-dancing show.

Mikel and I had such an amazing time.  He said he wants to take a vacation (sans kids) every year!  I'm not sure about that...but I do know that it is important to spend time together and I loved getting away for little while!
