Honeymoon tidbits: Part 4 (the liquor)

This is where the vacation takes a nasty turn. You always hear "don't drink the water in Mexico." I didn't take this entirely into consideration like I should have. Chris and I discussed this on our way down and decided we'd drink bottled water when it was readily available and be lax about it when it's not. Mistake.

Notice how most photos of our vacation involve some sort of alcoholic beverage? Duh. It's a vacation. And I wasn't going to give up my opportunity to have a blended margarita just because of some puny Mexican ice. On the day we began our journey back to the U.S., Montezuma got his revenge. Only on me, though. Chris...well Chris has a stomach and colon of steel. No fair.

Honeymoon tidbits: Part 3 (the love...ick!)

 This honeymoon was truly wonderful. Great one-on-one lovey time. Did you know Chris and I have never gone on a real vacation? ("real" meaning leaving the area for more than a weekend). We've been a couple for eight years. This is unacceptable and now we've realized that we do need to make more time for getaways. We really do need to find a way to bring Sam with us though. :)

Honeymoon tidbits: Part 2 (the creatures)

Cats, monkeys and some un-nameable animals crawling everywhere!

Honeymoon tidbits: Part 1 (the beach)

Playa del Carmen (the beachy part inside the confines of our resort) was the definition of tropical paradise.

Top left: This is a gigantic shell Chris found on the beach. Top right: Chris's first time at the ocean. Any ocean. Ever. Clearly he's loving it. Bottom left: Mimosas in the morning (and afternoon. and evening). Bottom mid: Buried in a Chris-dug hole up to my knees. Bottom right: A night out.

Honeymoon.

It's booked. In December we'll be in sunny Mexico, beach-front, umbrella drinks in-hand.

This is our resort. It's an all-inclusive, of course.
