MEXICO

Brad and I went to Mexico this November for a little r & r, and no.....we didnt take the kids. We had a blast! For the first few days we toured some of the ancient Mayan ruins that dot the landscape. We went to Chichen Itza, and Ek Balahm and Coba.

After that we drove up the coast and stayed in some of the little towns and stayed at some cute places and some not so cute ones. In fact, one of our favorites was in a town called Tulum because it was right on the beach, but it had a rock hard bed and no electricity.

The last part of the trip we stayed in a vacation house right on the beach for three days. Prior to the trip Brad, as always, did some great planning and found a beautiful vacation house that we were able to rent, with our own private pool and hot tub. Both of us got through three or four novels over the course of the trip. It truly was a vacation.

I'm so grateful for a husband that places such value on romance in our marriage. It is sooooo hard to be anything but roomates, with lifes everyday challenges of kids and work, so these times that we can get away are precious. They are definately not without challenges though, There was a lot of work to do when we got home with getting kids back to normal and all.
