My Life As A Middle Child - Putting Together The Pieces

Vacation - All I ever wanted

Vacation - Just had to get away.

NOTE: If you want to be jealous of me for this post, that's fine I totally understand. I also understand if you decide not to read it. However, please don't leave me any hate comments as I'm still on cloud 9 and would like to stay there until I return to work on Tuesday.

I couldn't take it any more and had to leave my crazy fast paced life behind and hit the sandy beaches of Mexico. Yes, the DH and I actually took an entire 8 day vacation together. (Other then going to The Lake of the Ozarks, this is our first real get away for just the 2 of use since our honeymoon 7 1/2 years ago. ) Also, yes we are still married and even talking. LOL

So for vacation this year, I picked Cancun as neither of us have ever been to Mexico and thought it would be exciting, and it was. We actually stayed about 30 minutes South of Cancun in an area known as Riviera Maya. We stayed in the Grand Mayan part of the Mayan Palace and the resort was simply fabulous. We had drinks while basking in the sun, went shopping in Playa del Carmen & Cancun and snorkeled the reefs in Puerto Morelos. This was absolutely the best vacation we have ever taken (other than our honeymoon in Maui).

Now for those of you who don't know me very well, we never took vacations when I was growing up. We spent every weekend and any vacation time my dad got camping or visiting family in Springfield, MO. Therefore, I was a little afraid as far as traveling to a foreign country and going through the whole customs thing. However, I have now faced those fears and am already thinking about booking a trip next year to a different city in Mexico.
