Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Brent and I went on a much needed vacation this past week to Playa Del Carman, Mexico and it was everything everyone said it would be...basically fantastic!! We did a bunch of lying around, swinging in the hammock admiring the crystal blue waters, napping, strolling down 5th avenue, sipping on margaritas, getting some exercise snorkeling and letting our adventure side come out by zip-lining and driving ATV's through stalagmite caves!!!

First Day
Almost there

Another relaxing day at the resort

Get off your phone B-rent

Brent & I broke the hammock on our balcony when we tried to sit in it together so they brought us a new one. It was a little tight and didn't fit on the hooks so this is Brent trying to be a he-man by stretching it out. That obviously didn't work so they brought us extra rope to tie on the ends


Perfect view from our balcony

Our favorite place


Dinner at Maria - I wore my new señora shirt I bought on 5th avenue

My wonderful hubby...isn't he cute : )

Zip-Lining

Bad pic of me but the only shot I got that shows a few of the ziplining towers. Can you see the person behind me ziplining to one of the towers??

Last zip-line, you zip through the waterfall and land in the water...weeeee

Last Day : (
Brent had to eat at an authentic mexican restaurant before we left and that is exactly what we got. Our waiter didn't even speak hardly any english : /

Brent always befriends a cat everywhere we go...he misses Low

All good things must come to an end...farewell Mexico
