VIVA MEXICO!!

This last week Matt and I had the opportunity to go on a trip to Mexico. It was the honeymoon we never really had and we loved every minute of it!! We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe in Rivera Maya, Mexico. It was a great all inclusive resort with many different pools and a nice beach.

We did a lot of eating:



The food was pretty good and we had unlimited drinks, Matthew was in heaven! 

We watched many sunsets: 



We never did make it up for any of the sunrises! Oh well that's what a vacation is for, sleeping in :)

We were able to see the ruins at Coba with our guide Lemuel: 


We did some adventuring:


We zip lined over crocodile infested water,  fed  the crocodiles, and swam in an underwater cenote. (I am very proud of my zip line excursion, I usually would chicken out). The underwater centoe was absolutely gorgeous with clear blue water!




This picture is funny because I wanted to do the zip line but I was in a skirt, so Lemuel let me use his sons bathing suit for shorts. The only probably was they were way too big, so Matt lent me his belt that we jimmy rigged to get the shorts to stay on! haha I looked pretty funny.

We did some snorkeling and saw some animals:

This man could be snorkeling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He loves it! I really started to get the hang  of it by the end of the trip. It was fun!

But mostly we just hung out (the way a vacation should be!):




We played lots of card games, relaxed, talked a lot, and all around had a great time! (I even read two books while I was there. I never read!)


Too sum it up it was paradise and we can't wait to go back!

Thanks Matthew for choosing me to spend all your vacations with! I wouldn't want it any other way!
