Mexico - Part 1


These next couple of posts are going to be looooong.  Sorry about that :)

We headed to Mexico in November for Aunt S's wedding.  Since we were spending the money for passports and flights for the kids, we decided to make it a longer vacation.

Brody ready for his first flight!  They did as good as could be expected but it is never fun to travel with 2 little kids.



We rented a house in a quiet area north of Cancun for a week.  It was awesome.  One of the owners is an architect and into Feng Shui.  I don't really know understand the details of that but regardless, the place was great.   It was really nice to have our own beach, pool, and plenty of space.

Here are a few pictures of the house....





We made it to the house after dark but no worries... this kiddo was asking to get out on the beach before sunrise the next morning.  


One of the first things I saw on the beach was a heart.  Looking for heart rocks and shells when hiking or beach walking has been something I have done for years.  It started when I was on a trip with my best friend's family and hiking in Colorado.  Great memories!








There was a big trampoline in the back yard and the kids LOVED it. 


One day we walked down the port and took a 30 minute ferry ride over to Isla Mujeres.  We rented a golf cart and explored the whole island.  First stop was a turtle farm.  The little babies were adorable!

The last couple of days at the house, Aunt C and Uncle J joined us.  They were in Mexico early for the wedding, too.  I don't seem to have any photos... :(



It was a great week of "relaxing."  I say that in quotes because when you have a 1 year old and 3 year old, you don't really get to relax.... especially with multiple water bodies around.  It was memorable and fun though :)

Next, we were headed to the resort for the wedding.  I was ready for some service... we really missed our doggy clean up crew from our home... kids are messy when they eat!
