Viva Mexico!

We made it back from Mexico on Sunday afternoon after spending 5 very relaxing days on the beach just north of Playa del Carmen. We flew down Wednesday morning and came back Sunday and stayed at the Iberostar Resort Complex. This was our first stay at an all-inclusive resort and it was worth every penny. The food was excellent (for those Dallas people...imagine eating at III Forks, then Pappadeaux's, then Fogo de Chao, then finally at Kobe Steaks), the drinks very good, and the service great. We spent the days on the beach and by the pool sipping frosty beverages and the evenings eating some awesome food.

We also took the opportunity, on Friday, to take a tour where we were able to go down some zip lines, go swimming/diving in a small lagoon, snorkeling in an underground cave, snorkeling in the ocean seeing sea turtles, sting rays, and even a barracuda, and finally snorkeling in a lagoon with tons of tropical fish.

It was a tough job but someone had to do it!

Landen spent 5 days with Grandma and Grandpa...to be detailed in a later post...
