Family Vacation in Cancun

With family spread across the continent, we try to meet up with Wonderful Husband's family at least once a year. This time we agreed to go to an all inclusive in Cancun. Then something came up so that the four of us wouldn't be able to go. At the very last minute we were able to join them for a shorter trip, but their resort was booked. We booked the resort next door which was owned by the same company.

 The 8 of us together for the first time in more than a year.

While everyone else had already been there for a few days, we had just arrived at our resort when this photo was taken. Most people would comment on how tanned they are and how white we are, but to be honest, this is how we looked when we left as well. Some of us take sunscreen more seriously than others.

The kids enjoyed relaxing while waiting on the elevator.

Our room had two beds, a couch, and a stocked bar. When the kids would go to bed early, I would hang out reading and order room service. Wonderful Husband got a few extra hours with his family and we were all happy and relaxed. It was actually my first time ever ordering room service at a hotel. I felt fancy. haha

Walking to breakfast

We ate breakfast at our resort since the kids woke up earlier than anyone else wanted. Lunch we would eat at the other resort with the full family. For dinner we would make reservations and eat at a more formal restaurant.

Headed to dinner

We took this photo at least a dozen times and this was the best we could do. If you sat in any of those chairs in the lobby, someone would come by and give you a drink. If you didn't like what they were offering, they were happy to go get what you wanted and bring it back. I could get used to that, yet when I came home no one offered me a drink. In fact, when we got home they expected me to cook and clean and there was no pool, much less an infinity pool. You know what that means... time to start planning another vacation.
