Bring me 2 Pina Coladas...I Want 1 for Each Hand..

I promise we are still alive! I haven't had the chance to update our blog in a really long time. If there is anybody out there that still reads this, I'm sorry. Our life has been a little crazy lately. We have been to Cancun, I had my 23rd birthday, Kyle got a new calling, we bought a new car, softball has started and we got a new BBQ. So if any body is feeling like hamburgers let us know! After 4 years of waiting I finally was able to go to Cancun! I was amazing! I have never seen more beautiful water. Just thinking about it makes me wish we were back there right now. One of the coolest things about the trip was we didn't have to worry about anything. Serious for one of the days we didn't even look at a clock once. I don't know if I will ever be able to do that again.

The trip didn't start off so smooth though. Can I just say that I love America even more then ever now. We got off the plane and were so excited to hit the beach but instead we hit 4 hours of standing in a hot line just to get through customs. We were tired, hungry, and very irritated. Once we got settled in though, we loved every minute.


We pretty much hung out in our swimming suits the whole time. It was so HOT!! It was a little windy though so the beach wasn't as calm but it made for some really fun waves to play in.

This is the view from our hotel. The rooms weren't 5 star but the restaurants and pool area were the nicest on the strip. Who wants to stay in the hotel room when you are in Cancun anyways, right?

There were tons of these little tables all over the hotel. We could go order any drink we wanted at any time. It was pretty fun to try everything out but we figured out there aren't a ton of drinks that you can have without alcohol so we had a lot of Pina Colodas and Mimi Vises but they were delicious!

We spent a lot of time seashell hunting. Why? I don't really know but I do know it was fun and Kyle is Pro. He found this super cool Titan Coral that we may or may not have tried to sneak home.

Paragliding is awesome!! ...if you don't get super seasick on the boat/waverunner ride out there. It was beautiful and we were SOOO high. Its a good thing it was so high so that nobody could see what I was doing up there. haha I'm not going to lie that it was a little disappointing, at least for me, Kyle loved it the whole time. I was so excited to go but the aftereffects make me a little weary of ever going again.

Tulum!! Its a must see! I loved these guys even though they made us pay $5 to take the freaken picture on our OWN camera. Whatever. We were on vacation.

Decoration building in Tulum. It had red had prints on the top floor from the natives. Super cool.

Face built into the outside corner of the decoration building.

The main structure in Tulum. These old historical places are so interesting to me.

A walkway in the middle of Tulum. I thought it was way pretty and the shade felt really good.

Tulum was built on the top of a rock seashore so that they would be protected from their enemies and it was prefect for selling and trading.

Monkey man back at our hotel climbing the palm tree so that we could open a coconut.

Our last day. :( We were so sad to leave. I could have sat on the beach forever and just watched the waves come in.

Overall it was the perfect vacation. We have a couple good stories to tell but we still can't wait to go back. We love Cancun!

OH Gina! We got Pina Coladas on the ship, and we wanted to try the Miami Vice, it looked soooo good, but we never got around to it. and the picture for 5 dollars. That is exactly what they tried to do to us with the iguana picture, lol we gave him a couple of bucks....the iguana made Eric sick!
