Catching Up: Our vacation to Mexico last month


Aaaah Mexico.  A few lovely weeks ago (mid September) Paul and I took our second babymoon of our lives (first one to Europe) and went to Mexico.  I am proud to say that I booked a fabulous but cheap trip (used mileage for our flight and hotel).  We stayed at the Royal Haciendas in Playa del Carmen which is about 30 mins outside of Cancun and had a ball!!  I took Elisabeth to my parents' home a few days early so that she could get acclimated and then Paul and I met up at the airport on Monday morning in Denver and flew off to Mexico.  It was great from start to finish.  I was still feeling sick at that time so it was nice for me to relax and Paul loved our explorations into the Mayan ruins.  Here are a bunch of pics of us enjoying our time...

First morning at the hotel

Wonderful views!

Happy!

We at the most delicious breakfasts there!! True Mexican cuisine is unbeatable

Paul at Tulum

Tulum right on the ocean is so pretty





So Playa has a bunch of Italian immigrants living there. We had some yummy Italian food. 

Night swimming - the best!

Chichen Itza

They played ball to the death here - yikes





Prettiest place Ek Balam

They even had an observatory back in those days

Those stairs are scary steep. I only went up halfway but Paul went all the way


Check out the details here.  Interesting...






Again, best food ever!


Went snorkeling at this place called Yal Ku. One of the best days of my life!



Paul at the carts and crafts station

In Heaven!
