Mexico





Almost a month ago Fred and I were lucky enough to leave this tundra called Iowa and head to the sunny skies and beaches of Mexico!  Fred won the trip thru Pioneer for the 2nd year in a row which made it even more exciting!



Yes I did take a picture of the temperature before we left!
Our 1st "WE ARE ON VACATION!!!" picture in the airplane!

Our 2nd WE ARE ON VACATION picture!

Our 1st night....there was a table "teaching" us how to drink tequilla....which I have to say after they taught us it did not taste half bad :)



Just another night out....the view from our room was amazing!
Just some more "selfies"





Dueling Pianos....they were rated one of the top 3 in the nation...did an awesome job!




Not sure why the color of this turned out like this...




Beautiful White Sand Beaches

The view from the treadmill....I was not brave enough to run outside with all the random holes in the sidewalk, the crazy drivers, and the numerous signs to not feed the crocodiles!









I applied and reapplied sunscreen the sun was hot hot hot


Fred could lay out all day and be fine!

Some rest and relaxation


Another selfie in my fun hat!


So we did have one day that was a little over-cast.....but....



We made the best of the situation and hit up downtown!



Just some of the local establishments!

With the Gauls and the Petersons!



Last night and they had Madi Gras themed night!
Our entertainment...he was sort of different...but ok!  He was an impersonator :)

Supper with the Gauls!

The hat is covering my face....but we went over to Isla of Mujeres...it was interesting to see....very non-commercialized :)
We went the Toots...we met them last year in Hawaii and was excited to see them again this year:)
A dive bar with $3.00 beers...we loved it!

Thankful for my sea-bands....it would have been a long ferry ride home without these!




This was Valentine's Day...


And I was a supper wife and took Fred to Hooters:)



Fred and I had 3 days on our own....we loved having our own time....

This day we spent a little toooo long and the swim up bar....but it was a lot of fun!

We took this one for Kyle....

Our last night....:((

My refusal to believe that vacation was over and I would have to change out of flip-flops and into winter boots :( 


It was an awesome week and we were thankful for family that kept the kids for us all week, which turned into a lot with school being cancelled, late starts, early out, and even 
Kael throwing up on his Aunt KiKi in the middle of night!  

I told Fred and I am hooked and he is going to have to take me somewhere warm every winter!
