Cancun, Mexico

Eating breakfast at the hotel. Jim has stayed at the Hilton so much that he got free breakfast for us every morning. It was so wonderful. Many who know me know how much I enjoy a good breakfast, especially one not prepared by myself. I had a bagel with cream cheese, omelet, fresh fruit and cold cereal for breakfast every morning. It was AWESOME!
As you will see, most of our pictures are of us eating at restaurants. We made a goal to eat at a new place every night. We only went back to one Mexican restaurant because it was so good the first time.

Jim and Jared decided to Scuba Dive and get PADI certified while on our vacation. Jim really just needed something to do, besides lay by the pool and ocean and sun bathe. Jared took one for the team and says I owe him now. It took up a half day in the pool and almost a full day to actually do the 30 foot dive and testing. They enjoyed themselves and Reb and I thoroughly enjoyed doing nothing. Much to my dismay, the boys took no pictures of themselves on the actual dive. They both had phones with cameras but no pictures non the less.

Jim on the way home took Reb's pillow and snoozed. He really isn't asleep yet and was making fun in this picture but the pillow came in real handy when he really wanted to sleep.

We took the bus everywhere we went for 65 pesos. It was dirty and smelly but inexpensive to use and thrilling to ride it. A couple of times it wasn't so much thrilling as scary. The buses in Cancun rule the road and the drivers assume everyone will just get out of their way. Yikes!

We stayed at the Hilton in Cancun and it was beautiful. The hotel is a 5 star hotel and it showed. We were well taken care of and the hotel was amazing. The beach area was fabulous, except for some rocks, and the pool was gorgeous, and heated! That was the best part. Reb and I are wimps so it was the perfect temperature. After we basked in the sun all day, we would soak in the hot tub for about an hour then head up to get ready for dinner. We ate lunch by the pool some days but made PBJ's most days in the hotel room for quick lunches. We went shopping the night we got there and bought snacks, lunch stuff and bottled water to last us the duration of the stay.

This was our second time to Cancun with Jared and Rebecca and mine and Jim's third time back. It is such a great city and we have great memories here.

Most days we stayed on the beach. The breeze was wonderful and by the pool is often got too hot. We lounged under the Tiki umbrellas for hours, reading and napping.
