Mexican Getaway

 David and I went to Cancun (without kids!) for a few days during the week of New Years.

Thanks to his parents for watching the shorties while we were away!

Took just a few pictures with my phone just to remember some of the fun...

View from room.  Horrible.

Pastey White.  Don't care.

Ate many plates full of fresh guacamole and pico everyday.

Best thing there. Hands down.

Enjoyed many fruity drinks and cervezas at this great little beach bar.

Went to a really corny New Years Eve party.  Very entertaining.

New Years Eve 

Fireworks on the beach at midnight.

Sunrise on New Years Day 2014.  Again, horrible.

That's it.  Then we came home and it was -3 degrees at the airport when we landed.  Worst cold and snow in Detroit history.  

We picked a great week to be away!

Mexico

Here are a few highlights from our vacation. Too many pictures to post, so - for more see facebook.

Overall, we had a great week. It was a little overcast, windy and a bit of heavy downpour at times - but that still beats Michigan in early February any day (especially when the few sunny days are really great)!

Jamie had her hair braided the first day - not because it is cool, but for the sole purpose of keeping her hair out of her face all week since she wont let us brush her hair or put ponytails in.

It worked great! She was a happy girl all week.

See that cloud, that is rain. Lots and lots of rain, coming towards us.

This is just a little freaky.

Happy Hour.

No one knew me in Mexico, so I decided it would be o.k. to look like a fool. (Don't worry my bad foot was fine from the fall, I landed softly on my back in beautiful form.)

Kids Water slide area was pretty neat, but a little intimidating for d & j

I went in with them, but was told to get out because it is for niñas y niños solamente.

There was a 4 foot drop to get down to the water, but we made good use of it.

¡Salud!

Hay un burro en el vestíbulo.

Look what we made!

Waves are fun.

We like our beaches windy and rough. No not really. Just happened that it was that way all week.

I think they were over pictures by this point, but it is still cute.
