Pictures of our Trip!






That was the best trip that I have ever been on. I don't know if it was just because of the company, or if it was where we were. All I know is that it was so much fun and so well needed. Brad and I went with our best friends Todd and Ashley from Boston. We were all laughing about 90 percent of the time.
Here is the trip outline:
Day 1- Check into the JW Marriott after 8 hours of travel and met up with our sweaty friends who had walked to the mall to find clothes because Ashley's bag didn't make the trip. We all hit the pool and put down some killer "nachos grandes"
Day 2- We took a ferry to Isla de Mujeres and rented some scooters. We drove around the island stopping for "cocos frios" and mangos that were being sold on the side of the road. We did lots of swimming because it was so sticky and hot. Then we talked some guy into taking us snorkeling for half the price that he was initially charging, he was stoked to take us out to say the least....Pizza for dinner.
Day 3- Ashley and I did a morning at the spa while Brad and Todd got huge at the gym. Then we hit the pool and did what you're supposed to do at a pool: read books and fall asleep. We all went to Ruth's Chris for dinner. We wanted to see a movie but when we got to the theater we were dissappointed because all the movies were in Spanish...but then we remembered that we were in Mexico, so it made sense. Instead of watching "Los Simpsons" we made it a "Ticket to Ride" game night.( To anyone who hasn't played that game I highly recommend it.)
Day 4- Went to Xcaret. Snorkled, got lost, swam with dolphins, got lost, relaxed in an underground river, ate, and got lost some more.
Day 5- Took a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the ancient Mayan ruins: Chichen-Itza. The ruins were amazing and afterward went swimming in a nautral underground pool called a "cenote". Definately the highlight of the trip.
Day 6- Unfortunately had to part with our friends to head home. Ashley and Todd's flight took off 5 hours later than it should have, and Brad and I were late getting in to Phoenix and almost missed our connecting flight. Brad woke up at 430am because he heard Daxon talking in his sleep...Brad kept saying "Dax, Dax, come up here." He was excited to see his boys.
