Tuesday, Day 1: We spend the day around our condo playing in the swimming pool and on the beach. Mom and the kids barried Dad in the sand, Brittanie loved playing in the swimming pool, and Nathan had the most fun wheeling around his wheelbarrow along the beach.
Wednesday: Day 2: We went on a snorkling trip to the coral reef in the morning. Don't we look lovely in our gear? It was fun to see all of the colorful fish around the reef. In the afternoon, we took a drive up to Cancun to check out the city and the beach. The sand and water was beautiful. Brittanie loved collecting seashells with mom and grandma and Nathan discovered the joy of waves rushing up against his legs. 
Thursday, Day 3: We spent the day at El Cid, an all inclusive resort with a nice swimming pool, beach toys, lots of food, and uncle Craigs favorite, a swim-up bar with all you can drink Pina Coladas (sure they were virgin...). Dad even helped Brittanie catch a wave on the body board. Nathan loved the kids swmming pool and slide while dad liked the cliff jumping and body boards. Natalie's favorite was lounging around soaking up the rays sipping on a cold Mexican Diet Coke
Friday, Day 4: Grandma and Grandpa spent the day with kids around the pool and beach while Craig & Julie and Scott & Natalie took a road trip to see Chichen Itza, the great Mayan Temple. We enjoyed visiting the historical sites and learning about the culture and civilization the Mayans created. Our trip home was quite the experience as we took the back roads through a bunch of Mexican Villages. Natalie started getting hungry when we passed a local on a bike pulling a small trailer with a dead pig hanging off the side. Yummy!
Saturday, Day 5: We enjoyed the all inclusive resort so much we went back. Another day of playing in the pool, sipping tropical drinks, and enjoying the beach.
Sunday, Day 6: We all took a road trip down to Tulum, another Mayan historical site along the coast. It was fun seeing and learning about this area. The kids really liked seeing all of the Iguanas around. On the way back, we stopped at a restaruant next to the beach to enjoy enchiladas and tacos. 
Monday, Day 7: We played around the condo again swimming and playing in sand before we left for home in the afternoon.
It was a most excellent vacation. We enjoyed being able to spend vacation time with some of our family. We'll post a slide show with other pictures soon. Que bien es el sol y la playa en Mexico!
