Cancun!

Mexico was awesome! SO relaxing and a much needed vacation. There were 13 of us that went and we were there for 5 days. Our resort was perfect. It was an all-inclusive and right on the beach with great rooms, food, drinks, etc. There were 5 restaurants and 3 bars. No Mexican restaurants. Go figure! There was Japanese, seafood/pasta, American, etc but no Mexican. We had to come back to CO to get some but everything we had there was amazing! No complaints here! We slept in everyday. We would have coffee in our room and then get our swimsuits on and go down for breakfast. We spent the afternoon relaxing on the beach and playing in the ocean and drinking yummy drinks. Took a nap in the late afternoon and then showered and got ready for the day =) We had dinner with our group every night and then would go to one of the resort bars for more yummy drinks and fun.
We missed Taylor like crazy but I didn't cry once. Much better then I thought I would do. I knew she was in good hands. She loves my mom and was such a good girl while we were gone.

We had such a great time and want to go back soon!!! Who's coming with us?

Dinner the first night (before the rest of the group got there)

Our resort...


This is where we had breakfast every morning

Amazing beach...
Loved the tiki huts


The lobby

Mini golf





When the sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach the locals (professionals) dig them up and re-bury them in a safe location then when they hatch they release them. We were lucky enough to watch them hatch and then help release them the last night we were there. Doing this increases their chance of living by 80%. It was an amazing experience. They were so cute.




I didn't get any pics when we released them because we couldn't use a flash but took this one right before...

Loving the beach!

Our group with a couple from Pueblo that were on their honeymoon
It only rained for about 10 minutes the entire time we were there and we got caught in it. We were completely drenched. This was on our way to the sister resort for lunch.

Beautiful sunset from our balcony.

Dinner with the whole gang at Pier 12
