Cancun: Day 5

 And then, sadly, we had to head home.

From the beach at the resort, we could see cruise ships doc at the port across the way on the island of Cozumel. We have docked there 3 times. As we watched them sail away around 4 PM, I thought "hmm...I'm glad we can stay seated on this beach."

It's hard to compare a cruise to an all inclusive resort. There's pros and cons to both, but I decided that I would be happy and content with either. Basically, I just want to have the ocean, the beach, and lots of food. We had such a great time! In fact, I'm trying to convince Ben that we should go for our anniversary next year.

So, I guess, for a shorter trip I would say all inclusive resort, and for a longer trip a cruise so you can go to different places.

But, really, both are fantastic and we are exceptionally spoiled that we get to go to either!

Cancun: Day 4

 Our final day in Cancun was pure beach perfection. The sun FINALLY came out, and we almost got hot. We spent the whole day on the beach- playing lots of beach volleyball, boogie boarding in the ocean (well, I just floated on my boogie board which is my favorite thing in the world to do), drank lots of virgin drinks (my new very favorite is the sweet virgin strawberry mojito), ate yummy food, napped/read/sunbathed in our lunge chairs....it was absolutely perfect.

The girls decided to do a photo shoot. They had a full vision and plan for this.

We went over to their sister resort, Riu Tequila, to watch their Grease show. It was pretty fun, and I great way to end the night!

Cancun: Day 3

 Because yesterday was a bit of a bust, and we knew the weather might not be great today, we decided to go to Xplor- an adventure park that Mexico calls their Disney of Mexico. They have several eco parks, and we went to Xel-Ha years ago from a cruise and loved it. I didn't want to spend another rainy day at the resort, so off we went.

It was WONDERFUL! We had such a great time! The weather was still very chilly- but it didn't rain, so that was nice.

This slide was MASSIVE! It had 5 big slide components in it. Ben wanted to go on it again, but we weren't brave enough to join him again. It was awesome, but definitely made my stomach jump!

There were several underwater caves, well really I guess one big massive underwater cave, with rafting and river walking. Ben and I LOVED these! The girls liked them.

Then there was an ATV course. Ben had a blast driving through this course. This would definitely not be an approved course in the States!

And we ended with some zip lining. This was Camille's favorite

We really did have an absolutely fantastic day and I hope we can go back someday!
