Mexico is so Beautiful!

Tait and I were able to go to a trip to Mexico this past April and let me tell you it was one of the best trips I have ever been on, it was wonderful. We were truly treated really nice and it was the most wonderful vacation. I strongly recommend to anyone to go there it was wonderful.

It’s funny I went to Mexico twice this year. Once in January with my coworkers and it was in Cajun and it was “okay” it was nice I mean we had some good times, but it was just another trip with my coworkers, nothing special. I would have preferred to go with my husband let me tell you it would have been more fun. So I was so excited when we were able to go together. It was such a beautiful place; we were right on the Gulf of Mexico on very secluded place miles away from the bigger resorts. We had security check us in you had to be on the list even to get into the resort. Once we check in we stayed there for the next 5 days. The front desk man was so nice he had our room upgraded from a regular suite to a master suite. It was so wonderful; I can’t even explain just how wonderful it was there. We spent 45 minutes so excited over our wonderful room with its own personal swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and outside shower to name just a few of the amazing amenities.  It was truly a really nice place.

We were at an all-inclusive my second experience with this and let me tell you that is the way to travel.  I enjoyed not having to pay any bills or anything.  It was just really fun.  Tait and I want to go back as soon as we can maybe try a different resort.

The resort we went to was the El Dorado Spa and Resort in River Maya, Mexico.  We were really lucky to enjoy this trip.  We did a lot of just relaxing it was great we looked forward to going to eat and just laying in the sun it was just so nice.  We had our own sun bed on our balcony and so we would play in our little pool then go dry on the sun bed and repeat.  We played in the pool at night and would finish the night in our little Jacuzzi tub in our room.  I felt like I was part fish. 

We found a pool table and so Tait and I once an evening would go and play pool.  The best thing is everything was free food, drinks, everything.  So we tried different things, that we normally don’t get the chance to try and we got to just enjoy each other.  We didn’t go off the resort Tait talked about going snorkeling but we kind of decided that we wanted to do the couple massage and that was kind of our plan of spending any money was to do that.  That was really nice.  We were in the same room just relaxing and having our joint massage.  You had the option of having the massage outside on this lifted platform by the beach but it was so hot there that I thought it would be really sticky so we decided that in a room would be best and you know that was truly nice. 

We really enjoyed the food there was 5 different restaurants on the resort so we would try different places. We also enjoyed room service too and that was nice too.  One night we just wanted a hamburger and shake so we ordered one.  Super nice super easy, another thing that was   really nice was the staff.

Everywhere you went all the staff would greet you by saying “Hola” so every time we hear that now we are kind of our sad.  We only talked to the kids once while we were in Mexico but I don’t think they really missed us b/c they didn’t ask to call us and we told them they could call us whenever they wanted.  We couldn’t make phone calls out but we could get phone calls in it was kind of fun to be totally disconnected from the world no phones or internet or anything, it was nice. 

During the vacation I did a lot of reading I was able to read the Hunger Games all three books and let me tell you I didn’t enjoy the books.  I thought the story was kind of depressing and pretty gross to be honest.  But I was also able to read all three 50 shades books and they were well really good.  I have joined a book club and it is a really fun group of ladies and this was the first group of books so I had to read them for book club J 

So next year Tait and I are taking the kids to Orlando to go to Universal Studios probably in the spring so that will be a nice trip for the kiddos.  I’m kind of excited to be able to take them to a vacation.  The girls travel okay by car, I’m still a little worried b/c Lehna still hates anything in a costume so that should be interesting but we’ll see what happens J

We have decided that Tait and I need to travel more often together we kind of missed that opportunity before we had kids mainly b/c we had no money.  So we are going to make it a goal of every 2 years to go on a trip like that.  Eventually we will take the girls with us but not yet J
