Cancun (February 25-28, 2016)

Our first day (it was evening by the time we got to the beach)

The view from our balcony. It was beautiful to see and hear the ocean and feel the breeze.

Dennis isn't embarrassed to try different things! He was the first one on the bull. After he did it there was a line of people wanting to do it. Not me! I just laughed at my hubby as he was thrown. He did stay on for quite a few seconds though.

We played night tennis and had a blast (And no that is not sweat on my shirt! It was a shadow.)

Look at that blue water!

This is the Hard Rock Hotel we stayed at.

Dennis and I drank so many Pina Coladas and Miami Vice (Pina Colada with Stawberry Daiquiri) drinks we lost count. These all-inclusive resorts are so nice! They have people who walk around the whole day just asking you if they can get you drinks and of course eating whenever and whatever you want is part of the deal too.

The little bar with the Mexican flag on it had the best tacos and brick-oven pizzas. 

WOW!! That's the only word to describe our vacation to Cancun. There is a company called Contempo (tile) that paid for those who used their company for their jobs (I'm not sure how much the companies had to spend) Darin didn't want to go so he gave the trip to Dennis (and paid for my part) so we could go to Cancun. Dennis and I had so much fun together. We enjoyed the beach, the food, the drinks, the entertainment, and just being alone (even in the sea of people).
Grandpa Merrill was so kind to stay with the kids from Thursday morning until Sunday night. I think Grandma stayed at night but went back to babysit Tess during the days. My kids had fun and enjoyed having Grandpa with them. Jake and Ava even skipped school on Friday to "help" Grandpa with Eli.
Dennis and I say we need to do this every few years but we never do it on our own! But it really is so much fun to get away and enjoy "paradise" for a while.
