Mexico - Day 1

We had so much fun on our vacation. I hope to be able to post about all of it before I forget.

Technically, our first day of vacation was spent in airports and shuttle vans. We left our house at 4 am and didn't arrive to our hotel until 9 pm. It was a long day of sitting in an airport, but I did enjoy some yummy chocolate while we waited. What a way to break your diet right. This picture was taken when we finally got to our hotel, that's why we look so chipper.


 Some views from our balcony. This is the Lagoon that was part of our hotel. Well I actually think it was a public area but I only saw hotel guests swimming in it.

This is what our Villa looked like that we stayed in. We upgraded our room when we arrived, mostly to have free Internet access. But our room was really nice and I liked not being connected to the main hotel.
 There were iguanas everywhere. We watched these in the mornings from our balcony.

 Hitting the pool. It was so nice to just relax after our long day of travel.


Just one of the 6 pools we got to choose from.


The had really fancy restaurants to eat at during the evening. You had to make reservations everyday to be able to eat there. The food was ridiculously good and looked like works of art. You almost didn't want to eat it and mess it up. There were 5 speciality restaurants and we only got to eat at 4 because we missed the night the other one was open.







 We ended the night sitting on the beach just listening to the ocean. Perfect way to end our first day of vacation.

I knew that having a baby would max out our insurance deductible and the kids have needed their tonsils out for a while so this was the year...
