Mexico

Derek and I had the opportunity to go to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico with my work. We had such an amazing time. We missed the girls so much (they stayed home!) but we had so much fun being by ourselves for 5 days.
We snorkeled, swam, had massages on the beach, ate more food than any human should possibly be able to consume, and just relaxed.


A tree in our hotel. Random yes but I thought it was a pretty picture.


Our whole group after snorkeling. This is everyone I work with. The two in back are our guides. They were awesome.


On the boardwalk outside of our hotel. We spent more time in our swimsuits than I thought possible. It was so much fun to chill on the beach pretty much non-stop.


Derek chilling on a beach lounge. Each of the cabanas had flags on them. When you raise the flag it lets the waiters know we need a drink. They would also bring us cool towels and had a cart with books, magazines and aloe (essential). We were so pampered.


Senor frog in downtown Playa Del Carmen. 5th avenue (down town) was just a block from our hotel so we had fun checking out all the shops and trying the get the best deals possible. It was fun to bargain with the shop owners. Derek was better at it because he could understand them way better than I could.


Cozumel after snorkeling (that is why I look like a drowned rat). There was a huge storm coming in. We got done just in time to get on the ferry and miss the big storm.


Our hotel (taking the picture from the beach). It was very impressive. There were 4 restaurants to choose from plus the buffet. Our rooms were large with a huge jacuzzi in the middle of the room and a hammock on the balcony.


This is the front of our hotel. It was very fancy.
