CANCUN!!!

And just to answer the question you are all thinking....yes - we really were the pastiest pale people on the beach!




Pros of Cancun:

  • A beautiful beach.
  • Water so clear that it is hard to believe it is real.
  • Not cooking for a week.
  • Swimsuit versus a parka
  • No homework, scouts, Activity Days, soccer, piano lessons, etc., etc.
  • No cleaning, laundry, or grocery shopping
  • A week away with your sweetie
  • A week away from the kids
  • Traveling with a fun couple
  • Sleeping in as late as you want - or even taking a nap!
  • Reading a book that didn't involve flaps, hippos, or Dora the Explorer
  • Did I mention being with your sweetheart for a full week!!!

Cons of Cancun:

  • Being away from the kids for a week.
  • Having to travel the roads with the virtually non-existant driving laws (I was seriously scared a couple of times).

Cancun was amazing! We spent time on a beautiful beach with perfectly soft white sand, went kayaking, snorkeling, sailing (thanks, Curtis!), ate to our heart's content, visited the ruins of Tulum and Coba (AMAZING!!), went on a zipline, visited a Mayan village - it was fantastic! We had to laugh because after we finished going across the zip-line over some water we looked down and there were alligators (or crocodiles? - don't know which) in the water. Oh well - another sign that we weren't in the U.S. anymore! The trip was wonderful. We missed the kids and were ready to come home after a week, but totally look forward to going again!

Thanks Liz and Curtis for a great trip, and thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Wagner for babysitting the kids so that we could go!

Ditto to all you wrote. Did we tell you our last adventure on the Mexican highway? The shuttle driver missed the exit to the airport so, without even missing a beat, he got off on the ON ramp and yes, we were driving head on into traffic...cars were honking and swerving out of our way. It was hillarious and near-death at the same time.

Thanks for the good times...that was one sweet vacation.
