Hola! Just over a week ago Mark and I got home from Mexico. What a fabulous time we had! It was so wonderful to be just together. We flew my cousin Alicia, in from Saskatoon. The kids could not wait to see her. They had a great time with her. She went above and beyond in the call of duty and even thought she felt lousy while she was here (she always gets sick in BC) she made an amazing board game with the kids. It was a great memory maker for my kids. I really hope she enjoyed them. This meant so much to have her here and be willing to even do this for us. I was so relaxed and it was great to have the kids in their own home altogether.
My parents treated us to a night at a hotel by the airport so we could leave our truck for the week and go in the evening before our flight. We flew direct from Vancouver to Cancun and then got a bus to our resort in Puerto Aventuras. We were about 20min south of Playa Del Carmen. We soaked up the sun, snorkeled, ate great and just enjoyed each others company. We did not do any excursions. We both just wanted to hang out and relax. At home we do so much and are always on the go, this was just nice to sit. No responsibilities...aaahhh! We did go into Playa once to check it out, do abit of shopping and drop some presents off at the hotel where my mom and dad stay and have made friends. Our resort was amazing and we would go there again. It was perfect for the price and what we wanted. The kids called this trip our 2nd honeymoon...sure...call it what you like, I would strongly recommend a 2nd honeymoon!
