Life as we know it...: February 2011

Mark and I got to spend the week together in the Mayan Riviera. It was a pretty awesome trip... We spent most of the time just hanging out at the pool and beach. The week before we left the kiddos were pretty sick so we were looking forward to getting out the the cold and sickness. We definitely got out of the cold but the sickness seemed to follow us.... we couldn't complain though. It seems like every time we go somewhere I always wish I would have taken more pictures so this time I tried to remember that... It didn't work.

We were able to take a couple of naps a day... and we each started and finished a book. Both of those seem to be few and far between back home. I had to laugh at the towel designs our room cleaner did everyday on the bed. They even put googly sticker eyes and lips on them :) I wish I would have taken a picture up close.

We walked down the beach all the time and ended up finding a gem of a place. It had this old abandoned boat along the way that we thought made it all the cooler :)

The water was so clear and the sand was like powder... not to mention the pier of hammocks. Seriously it was like paradise. Mark liked to snorkel around here, one fish just sat right next to his goggles just checking him out. That freaked me out a little, to think that the fish were just fine hanging right next to you so I wasn't much of a snorkeling buddy.

We seemed to always eat at this buffet because it was right on the beach. Mostly in the morning it was beautiful.

The pools were big enough... too bad they were a tad on the chilly side so there wasn't a whole lot of swimming going on in them.

We spent one day at the spa. It had 14 stations you went around to and they each did a different relaxation, massage type of thing... Mark was in heaven.
