To Mexico and back...

Jill came in town on Wednesday to hang out with the kiddos before we left.   (THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU JILL!!!!!!)  Knowing her and KK were holding down the fort allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.

We met Brian and Kirsten at the airport and two hours later, we were in MEXICO!!!  The drive from Cancun to Playa Del Carmen is less than an hour so we were at our hotel by 2:00 in the afternoon.  Plenty of sunshine left to enjoy.  We stayed at Be Playa, a cute modern hotel with really dim lighting.   Here is our room.

We walked around Fifth Street and found our first restaurant.  Delicious ceviche, crab croquettes and margaritas.  That pretty much sums up our diet the entire 3 days we were there.  Lots of ceviche, pico, and guacamole.  Saturday, we took the ferry across to Cozumel and rented scooters.  SO MUCH FUN!!!   We would just drive until we came upon the next beach bar and post up for a while.  The weather was perfect and with the help of 70 SPF, no sunburn!  

 Here's some video I took whilst scootering.

Sunday we enjoyed the rooftop pool at the hotel.  

Strike a pose -

We mixed it up and tried some different food on Sunday - found a great pizza place for lunch, Babe's Noodles dinner.  

And the best part of all, three nights of glorious, uninterrupted sleep.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

We left Monday and made it home just in time to see the kids before bedtime.  Their reaction was adorable.  Stella had the biggest grin while she hopped right past her mommy into daddy's arms.  Drake made a bee-line for Daddy, too.  And Reese had a spaz attack, yelling "Dada, Mama, Dada, Mama!" while spinning in circles and falling down.  

This morning, I was taking the kids to the grocery store and Reese started crying as we pulled out of the driveway.  I asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I want Jill come shopping."  I whipped out my phone and took this video.

Awwwwww.  Let us know when you are ready to come back, Jill:)
