Viva La CANCUN!

VIVA LA CANCUN BABY!
Despite the swine flu scare- 4 of us decided to take our vacation to CANCUN in May! We stayed at the Casa Magna Marriott resort- absolutely beautiful! I WILL be returning to Cancun someday soon, and will stay at the Casa Magna.





This is the view from the road- as we're pulling up to the Casa Magna Marriott resort!











This is our lobby! When we checked in, we were the only guests in the whole resort!

This is the view from the back of the resort
This is the view from our balcony- breathtaking!
Our last night in Cancun, we decided to splurge and eat at a really nice steak and seafood restaurant (the name escapes me!). The food was fabulous! For dessert they brought out cotton candy-I've never seen that for dessert before-we had fun with it :)

We spent some time at the ruins in Tulum- what an amazing place! We all felt such a great spirit there.





We heard a couple people in Cancun talk about how good the "Shrimp Bucket" is, so we decided to try it out. The verdict? It's good, not as spectacular as people were making it sound, but good!






What would a vacation in Cancun be without a little relaxation time laying out by the pool or the ocean?


Sit back and enjoy!






We took a day trip to an island off of Cancun (Island of the Women) to go snorkling and walk around the island to experience "life on the island."


Here we are on the island


Dax, thrilled about being on the island!

We're on the boat ready to hit up some snorkling.

This is what you call a little "Dax Fun" in the pool!

Cancun was amazing! The people are so kind and generous and the weather could not have
been any better. We enjoyed great sites, great food, a great resort, overall great fun! I can't wait until I can return to Cancun where more adventures await me!
