Cancun

 Cancun is the most beautiful place I have been in my life. Jeff won this trip through work, making it the most affordable vacation too. We were lucky enough to soak in this view for 6 glorious days.
 We attempted to redefine lazy and I think we were successful. Our usual vacations involve A LOT of activity and minute by minute scheduling. This trip we went with the "Mexican minute." Which our waiters often referred to as "a Mexican year." They run on a different clock down there and I like it so, so, so much.

We managed to pry our butts off the beach chair just long enough to take a ferry to another island. Our first stop was the cemetery. It was alive with color. It was a strange feeling walking through and seeing all the graves above ground. 

 The minute our ferry made it to Isla Mujeres the rain started and didn't stop. Unfortunately it was the one day I wore white shorts. Lovely. We were soaked to the bone, but we still managed to have a wonderful time. We explored the entire island via a kickass golf cart. With the pedal to the medal we zipped from one end to the other. The island features a couple ancient ruins. We came, we saw and we got our asses back on the ferry to find dry land......and a mango tango- Jeff's drink of choice.
 The resort was top notch. Elephant towels and all!
 A return visit is a must.

Thanks to G-ma Robin and Aunt Hailee for managing the home front while we were gone. We are so grateful. Many, many thanks. It meant the world to us.
