Vacation Reflections

We're back! We returned to MN on Saturday night, and had a very nice reunion with our sweet baby. We sure missed him! John and I thoroughly enjoyed our time away, however, and really had a chance to just be a couple. We both kept commenting throughout the trip that we were having a better time and getting along better than when we were there on our honeymoon. By the way, we flew in to Cancun exactly 4 1/2 years (to the day!) from when we had been there on our honeymoon! Crazy, huh?

Here are a couple of pictures from our trip. I've told you before- we're really not shutterbugs, so we hardly have any pictures. I guess it's a good thing we've gone to digital. If we were using film we might never get through a roll and never get our pictures developed! :P

This is our "hotel"- the timeshare that we have

Here are 3 pics of our pad.

We went to Senor Frogs one night. We had an okay time, but have decided maybe we're too old or boring for the craziness there. We're just being silly here.

A guy came and made us balloon hats! (notice his "+tip" badge-- everyone seems to wear them down there)

One day we went on a day trip to Isla Mujeres. We took a sailboat (but couldn't actually sail because of the weather), went snorkeling (first time for both of us), and had lunch and shopping on the island. The weather was downright awful that day (a thunderstorm, cold, and generally rainy/cloudy), but we managed to laugh and enjoy ourselves all the same! A day full of memory-making. :)

Me in my snorkel gear- I'm SO hot! :P

Our last night in Cancun. We ate at an awesome restaurant right next to the water. Wow!

You must have had a great time in Cancun.

It was great seeing you, John and Malachi over the 4th. He's growing and looking good.

If you got any great pictures of Dick and me, please send me a copy.
Thanks
Love, Great Auntie Donna
