Cancun

Dennis and I took a quick trip to Cancun.  Dennis's parents flew out to Houston to stay with our kids so we could spend some time together, kid-less.  Thank you Lynn and Brenda.  This was out 10 year anniversary trip!!  Wow can you belive that we have been married for 10 years!!  Our anniversary is not until March, but this is when it worked out for us and Dennis's parents.  We flew out early Friday morning, well that was the plan, but with the snow in Dallas, our lay over, our flight was cancelled, so we did not get to Cancun until late that night. So we started our trip minus one day! 
We spent the first day walking on the beach.  It was unseasonably cool, so not a lot of water time.  It was perfect weather to walk around the beautiful carribbean.  We browsed the shops and rested and enjoyed the sun. 
We enjoyed the all-inclusiveness of the resort.  Eating yummy food, but we have decided that we enjoy mexican food more in the US then we do in Mexico.  I like to go on vacation when you get to dress up each night for dinner. 
One day we enjoyed a day touring Talum, a Mayan ruin.  It was amazing and we loved listening to the stories that our tour guide told and the similarities we find in the Book of Mormon. 
It was BEAUTIFUL!!  The water was so blue and the vegetation was so green.  So pretty!  There were iguanas everywhere! 
Dennis really enjoyed this tour.  I decided that if we throw history into all our trips Dennis will be SUPER happy.  All I need is the sun and the beach!! 
We enjoy the cultural and shops around Talum.  Here we are posed with some fun warriors!  This was the sunniest day the whole trip.  It was so nice. 
Our last day was a short day, since we had to catch out plane home.  We took a Kayak out of the ocean.  Dennis spent a little more time out there while I spent more time laying in the sun!! 
All in all it was a great trip!  We love spending time together without the kids, but I will admit that we are always commenting on  how much the kids would enjoy what we are doing!!
