Vacaciones 2008

Daddy and Mommy decided it was time for a little R&R, so we took a little vacation to Mexico the week before Thanksgiving! Little may not be the right word. This was a 7 day trip without the kiddos, I'd say that qualifies as BIG! So as not to completely wear out the grandparents, they split the duty of watching the boys...Grammy and Papa took the 1st half of the week and Nana and G-daddy took the 2nd half.

We had such a great time. Nothing like only having to worry about yourselves for an entire week. Our biggest decisions were what drink to order next, where to eat breakfast, what drink to order next, where to eat lunch, what drink to order next, where to eat dinner...you get it. We did get up off our butts one day and took the ferry over to the Isle of Mujeres. We rented a golf cart and drove around the island. Beautiful views of the ocean in such an impoverished town, much like the rest of Cancun outside of the resort areas. It's hard to imagine what it's like to be a local, living amongst such extremes. Last Sunday was Daddy's birthday. He's an old man now....really owning his 30's. We finally made it out sailing on a little Hobie Cat during the day and had a nice dinner at the French restaurant. I had ordered a cake and had asked for them to decorate the room, so that was a nice surprise he came back to after dinner. Monday, I started to come down with something (still have it), but at least it didn't ruin our vacation since we were headed back to the States on Tuesday. After 7 days away from the kids, I was ready to come back. I really missed them a lot! Here are a few pics from the trip.
