We were so happy to join our friends Kassie and Brian in Mexico for their 10 year anniversary trip! Thanks to Mimi and Papa and Katie for watching the girls so we could go!
As you can tell we were pretty excited to leave town! We were also a little bit nervous since a few days before we left Hurricane Ernesto appeared in the Carribean and was projected to arrive in Cancun on our last day as a Category 1...yikes! Lucky for us Ernesto changed course and made landfall 140 miles south of us, leaving us with a rainy day and nothing more, whew!
We stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres and it was absolutely amazing! The most luxurious resort we have ever experienced. We were blown away from the minute we arrived when we were greeted with glasses of champagne! Here are some pics of our room...
Brian and Kassie at the Lobster House for breakfast
The beach was beautiful and we could see Isla Mujeres just across the ocean
We experienced one rainy day, just before the hurricane made landfall. But a rainy day under a palapa in paradise isn't so bad after all! Kassie and I relaxed under the palapa and Brian and James played ping pong. No complaints about the weather here!
The lazy river started right in front of our room, that was my favorite part of the Excellence Playa Mujeres, floating around the lazy river with a drink in my hand.
There were 9 gourmet restaurants and we were only there 4 nights so we did our best to hit them all but didn't come close! It was fun to get dressed up every night and go to dinner and then check out the shows the resort put on.
Another day in paradise! We had fun lounging in the pool near the swim-up bar and drinking our crazy pineapple drinks
We were sad to leave Mexico but anxious to get back home and see the girls. Can't wait to take them back to Isla in November!
