Cancun

We loved every second we had in Cancun. We missed our girls like crazy but we were both happy we were able to get away for 6 days.

We stayed at Live Aqua and it was a beautiful resort. We upgraded our room once we arrived to an ocean front room which included a separate living area and an additional bathroom, so Benton and I each had our own bathrooms. The resort was immaculate. So very clean. There were 6 different pools to choose from, each with a different temperature, so you could choose whether you wanted warm or cooler water.

The food was so yummy, it was an all-inclusive resort so we were able to eat as much or as little as we'd like. There were eight different restaurants to choose from, as well as room service. Even though everything was great, I however was pretty much sick every single day. Benton didn't get sick till the day we left. We both avoided drinking their water, and eating salads which are washed with their water but it didn't help. Our bellies just weren't use to Mexico.

The beaches are so extremely beautiful. The water is turquoise and the beach is soft white sand. We spent each day walking up and down the beach. I became obsessed with finding seashells and playing in the ocean.

We really didn't do anything. We didn't go on any execursions, just took naps and laid in our cabana each day. A perk of the cabana was that we got a 20 minute foot massage to split between both of us. It was so relaxing! As you can tell this vacation was an actual vacation instead of the type of vacations where you're exhausted when you arrive home. It was just what we both needed.

Almost every day this guy would go on the beach and make different things in the sand. He was amazing with the things he made out of the sand.

We had so much fun spending time with each other. Since we've had kids, we haven't gone on a vacation with just us two. I'm so glad we were able to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in paradise.

I cannot say how thankful of everyone who pitched in and watched both of our girls. We had an amazing time and couldn't have gone without all your help.
