Cancun 2010

Last week we spent a few blissful days on the APX trip to Cancun, Mexico. The warm weather was amazing, the food was great and the hotel was fantastic. In spite of all of the trouble we had getting our passports here- a story for a different post- we thoroughly enjoyed our time in the tropics. As always, I wish I had gotten more photos but here's a little glimpse into our stay:

Here's the view from our hotel balcony. In the bottom third is the dolphin tank where they have 5 dolphins and everyday they had people swimming and doing shows with them. It was so fun to watch and Tyler had a blast talking to all the seagulls waiting for a stray snack.



Tyler's favorite spot in our room was this ledge leading to the balcony door. He was always trying to make a break for it to squeeze in all the time he could outside.


The first full day we were there we took a walk around the hotel. It was cute watching Tyler walk up and down the pathway. He really couldn't get enough of feeling like a big kid out for a stroll.


This lighthouse was just off the hotel's portion of the beach. I thought it was so cool.


While Tyler loved walking around and swimming in the pool, he was not a fan of the beach. I think all the new textures freaked him out and the waves coming right at him didn't help much. He got so mad when the sand stuck to him. He kept pointing to it asking to have someone get it off. Maybe next time he'll warm up to the ocean a little bit more.


Swimming in the swimming pool was by far his favorite part of the trip I think. He loved splashing and swimming around with Dad. The expressions on his face were priceless.



Alas, all good things must come to an end and we were forced to get on our plane and head home to the snow and cold. While I love being home, it was pretty depressing when we landed in SLC and saw how overcast and snowy it was. I guess we'll just have to start planning another vacation! :)

It looked like you had a little bit of clouds too. Tyler is getting so cute. I love him in the water. So...Gordon looks like he didn't quite get his lovely tan. I know, you need a week for that. Glad you had fun.

I could use some warmth, but I'd also settle for a little more sunshine that we've had lately to make the cold more endurable.
