Mexico!

Enjoying dinner for 2!

The first week in October Jeff and I took a vacation to Cancun, Mexico, alone, to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Our actual anniversary was back in April, but because I was still nursing Adison we needed to wait until this fall to leave for an extended period of time. Jeff's sweet mom, Nancy, was kind enough to agree to take care of the 4 kiddos for 5 days while Jeff and I enjoyed some alone time! We had a great time and we're so glad that the kids were left in good hands. Nancy not only took care of them but spoiled them too. In fact when we got back on Thursday, Adison wasn't so sure about her Mom and Dad being home and seemed pretty comfortable with Grandma. It took her a little while to warm back up, but we are friends again.

Jeff and I stayed at an all-inclusive resort for the first time and I personally loved it. I loved not having to worry about the money portion of our trip. Because we went during the off-season the resort was pretty much empty. There were times when we were the only people laying at the pool or eating at a restaurant. That meants lots of great service and lots of quiet. Not only did we relax by the pool but we were also able to do some pretty fun things. The hotel we stayed at was also running a promotion where they gave us $750 to spend while we were there at the resort. With the money we both got massages and pedicures at the spa, we both went zip lining, we both went to a water park and then swam with dolphins and we both played a round of golf at the resort. We sure missed the kids and remarked many times how much they would have loved certain things we saw or did, but we also were reminded how much we do enjoy spending time with each other.

View from our room...not ocean view, but really we could see the ocean!
