Cancun, Cancun, I miss you so!!!

Billy and I spent the last week in Cancun, Mexico. It was the best get-a-way ever!!!! We stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres resort. It is an all-inclusive hotel geared entirely toward couples, super romantic! It has 7 or 8 super YUMMY restaurants, 7 beautiful, warm pools, a beautiful sandy beach, activities for just about everyone, and pretty much, it is AWESOME!!!! We spent the days going from pool, to food, to beach, to pool, to lounging, to pool, to food, to beach, to pool, to food and so on and so forth. We stayed for a whole week and it was a very sad day when we had to come home, not that I didn't miss my kids, because I did, it was just so beautiful and relaxing there. Here are some of the pictures from the week.

Billy and Me in paradise!!!
The chocolate cake of all chocolate cakes. It was a daily mission to seek it out, it was supposed to be available only through room service, but we found a couple of waiters that would track it down for us. SO YUMMY!!!!!!!
This is on the back deck to our room.
Room service breakfast on our back deck.
The view from our back deck. We had what they call a swim-up suite, which means we had direct access to one of the seven pools.
Breakfast of Champions: Chocolate Fondue.
Our friends, Deanna and Paul, came on the trip too. We had so much fun together. This is Deanna and I enjoying a very healthy breakfast!
Every night there was a show in the theatre. They were all pretty good but the Michael Jackson show was the best!!!! This guy was actually really good!
One of the beautiful views around the hotel.
Billy and I on a Kayak tour. We got to Kayak out to a sunken ship, it was fun, even though it was a lot of work.

Billy and I all dirty after driving the Boogies.
On Wednesday we went on a little excursion to the jungle. We got to do a zip-line course with 11 different zip-lines. We got to drive dune-buggies (Boogies).

AND we got to swim in an under ground lake. It was SO cool! The under-ground lake was amazing, it was so deep that you couldn't see the bottom even though the water was crystal clear. It glowed like it was lit from below, but it was natural light from the openings in the cave. It was so beautiful!!!


AND we got to jump from the cliffs into the water.


Billy goin' for the kill in beach volleyball.

Deanna and I with the Mayan guy at the flea market.

Billy sailing the Catamaran. It was a daily event!

Just some photos. . .

Lucy in the Auburn "Good ol' days" Parade. She will be playing a dwarf in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" ballet this Saturday.

Noah lost his first tooth this week. He actually swallowed it we think. He was eating a pretzel dog at the super mall and he just said, "Mom, there is a hole in my mouth."

Just playing with my new camera lens. She is too cute!

I think these two are trying to hitch a ride.

And of course, a stranger's dog in the swing, I had to take a picture it was hilarious! The dog loved it, you could actually see the smile on her face.
