Exploring our Resort

During the Cancun trip we stayed at the resort next door to the one the rest of the family was staying at. This gave us a chance to explore both hotels and see the differences. Ours was rated higher and we enjoyed the restaurants more (come back on Thursday to read that post). Theirs had the kids' club and a playground.

The kids' club was not impressive and we wanted to keep the kids with us anyway. (I walked in and walked around the room and the worker didn't look up or acknowledge me in any way. There were no other kids there at the time.) We did play on the playground a few times during the trip though. It would have been nice to have something like this at our resort, but it was just a short walk between the two.

Across from the resorts was a small mall. Most of the stores were closed or empty. The kids found this frog and we had to stop and take a photo. Sweet Son is wearing "frog green" and Sweet Daughter is wearing an outfit with a frog on it. We did find one store that had some wooden 3D puzzles and the kids each picked out one to bring home. He picked a shark and she picked a princess. The sales woman suggested she pick a princess with lighter skin to match her own and Sweet Daughter refused. Such a simple thing, but I'm thrilled that Sweet Daughter didn't judge based on the color of the skin.
