Our Week in Paradise

Doug and I just got back from an incredible week in Mexico. We went to the same place where we honeymooned- Excellence Playa Mujeres, and it was every bit as good as it was last time! Our days were filled with laying by the pool, playing volleyball and poker, and drinking lots of margaritas. It is an all-inclusive resort, so you can have as much food and drinks as you want! So we took full advantage :) We met some awesome people and had one of the most fun weeks of our lives!

I thought about splitting this up into 2 or 3 posts, but decided it would be easier to have all of the pictures in the same place. So, get ready for a photo overload (40+! Eeek!)



One new thing from last time- we found all of these bottles in our room and we thought for sure we'd have to pay to use them. But nope, we asked and it was included! We were excited, but turned out we barely drank any! I preferred the delicious drinks that the bartender at the pool made :)

First time wearing shorts in 3 years! Woo hoo!

Breakfast on the patio and my first Eggs Benedict. Yum.


Celebrating our 3rd anniversary!

My favorite time of day- POKER!!!


We did karaoke one night and had the best time. Doug and I sang "Gettin' Jiggy With It," the boys sang Backstreet Boys, and the girls sang Britney...I got pretty into it ;)

My new sweet friend, Briton!

The karaoke gang. I love how all of the boys look like lobsters...it's called sunscreen, guys!

Our friend Adrian!
Adrian, the entertainment director, is our favorite person there. We had to recreate this picture from 3 years ago! We sent him the first one after our honeymoon, and he still had it in his office :)


Our balcony





Funny story- as I was taking this picture, I was ATTACKED BY A CROW. Seriously. He swooped down and pecked me really hard on the head. I think he was going for my bobby pin? 

This is where you can get an oceanside couples massage...we got one on our honeymoon and it was incredible!






Our jacuzzi that opens up to the balcony

The Michael Jackson show cannot be missed! 











  
It may have been the most fun week of our lives, and we hope to make this a regular thing! See ya in 3 years, Cancun!

  7. Wow. I'm really and truly impressed with this trip. The resort looks really nice, and it's making me want to consider going here for our anniversary. Do they have excursion type activities that you could do as well? How was the food? So fun! Thanks for sharing.
