Mexico

Jeff and I just got back from a 5 day incredible vacation to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.  After having our third child last spring, we both knew we were going to need a good break.  So we started planning.  Goal: Warm weather, sunny beach, no worries.  We began counting down.  Almost 7 months in the making - October rolls around, and finally reality is coming into view - we were about to head out for a trip alone for 5 whole days.  So thankful God took some bad weather away right before we were to get there and held it off til we left!! 
The leaving day came - off to drop off kiddos.  The two babies went with my sister (who already has 5 kids of her own) and our oldest went with her Papa Jan.  All kids had a great time as far as we know!  Thank you so much Jan, Dabney and Robbie for making it possible for us to take a much needed vacation!
Since our flight was such an early flight, I had this grand idea - we could drop off kids, go to a late  movie, have a late Waffle House date, then go crash at the air port til they called us to board.  Kids off, good movie, great waffles, then we get to the airport only to find they actually shut everything down at some point in the night.  We couldn't even use the kiosk to go on and check in.  So we waited, and waited, and waited. Fianlly 4 AM came, and we headed over to stand in line to wait for the employees to get there - 30 minutes later - we had our tickets in hand and were off to start our vacation!

The good thing about leaving so early in the morning, was we got to Mexico before lunch! We still had so much of the day to enjoy! 

Look what we walked in to?  Beautiful, huh?



After dropping off our stuff in the room - we were off to the beach!
