We love going to Mexico. If it was up to Kristen, we would live there.
Now, going to Mexico with friends--that's an even better treat.
The trip started with an interesting turn of events--when we got to the hotel we were told it was full, and that they would be sending us to another hotel--40 minutes away. That didn't sound too appealing considering we had just been on a shuttle ride for 2.5 hrs just getting to the hotel from the aiport. But they promised to upgrade us to a suite if we would stay there for 2 nights, and then come back. We just told ourselves that "we are in Mexico", and that you have to be ready for anything. Everything worked out just fine, and we eventually made it back to our original hotel with all our friends.
6 days in paradise makes it hard to return to cold Utah. Between the beautiful resort, trips into town, jungle adventures, amazing Mayan ruins, laying at the beach/pool, lots and lots of food, and great friends to share it all with, we had an amazing time. We can't wait to go back!

It seems like we ate ALOT!
Because we did.
My favorite place to eat was the
creperie. YUM YUM YUM
Valentine's dinner
We went on a jungle excursion and rode on the sky bikes.
They took us from above the trees down in the caves. Pretty cool!
We snorkeled in the cenotes

A fun bike ride down to the marina
A trip to the ruins at Tulum. The ruins are perched high on a cliff above the blue, carribean water.
If I was a Mayan, this is the tribe I would have joined.
Looks like a postcard

How come we weren't dome of the "friends" that got to go to Mexico with you? No, no, that's fine. We don't really like you either.
