Cancun!!!!

First of all, i have to Thank The Tanner Family for making this trip possible for Jake and i! (i sound like a PBS fundraiser...."proceeds made possible by Jonhson and Johnson..."). Dallas and Maury - We owe you big time!!!!! Thank You!!!
And another massive thanks to Jakes dear dear parents who sacrificed their week off to stay with our kids for the whole week so we could leave. They endured vomit, more vomit (ugh!), school drop offs and pick ups (when the vomit was over), figuring out how to feed picky eaters, more vomit (this one was Grannies), messes, stress, love, patience, and hopefully a little fun inbetween! I feel horrible that our kids got sick while we were gone; but so grateful that Jakes parents dealt with it so well. I'd also like to thank Skype for keeping me sane...My heart ached for my children, but I was able to see them for a few minutes each night!
Now.....VIVA MEXICO!

Before the trip....White and tired....

And after several days of sun, relaxation and tan....and some red

Our dessert on our last night there - Creme Brulee with a nice touch from our awesome waiter!



The delicious red snapper i caught while deep sea fishing(well, i just reeled it in). There is a restaurant on shore that will cook up your catch for $10 - veggies, rice and drinks included. It was the best fish i have ever had. One hour previous it was happily swimming in the sea, now its fried and cripsy!



Jacobs fishing skills need some work. He caught a seashell.


Amazingly Beautiful Ocean......



These signs are in all the Taxi Cab buses that shuttle the Resort stayers around. They really do serve beer during the ride....but not while the car is in motion?? Crazy Cancun'ians.

Shopping in Playa Del Carmen, 5th Avenue - totally fun, and a little annoying...

Jakes "stone bowl" lunch. Its full of melted cheese, salsa, cactus leaf, chicken.... . I stuck with a chimichunga.... the best one i have EVER eaten!




One of the many hotel pools at our fine resort...It really was an amazing trip!

Hooray for trips without kids! It looks like you had a great time. Maybe I'll have to get over my fears of traveling to Mexico.

Ember, I can say this without it sounding "weird" because we've been friends for so long. "Girl, you look HOT!" I MUST know your secret!
