The family and I brought in the New Year with a bang with a 2000+ person champagne toast on the Maya Riviera in Mexico! We just had an absolute blast together - mom, dad, Cate, the Mexicans, and a massive number of tourists! We stayed at an incredible all-inclusive resort along the sandy beaches of the Mexican coast. We realized that with so much to do right in the "resort town," we'd be able to soak up all the relaxation and sun we could possibly want within a 10 minute circle around our hotel room! So, we filled our days with reading on the beach front, snorkeling, eating, playing beach volleyball, kite flying, drinking Margaritas...Banana Monkeys...Dirty Monkeys...Hurricanes...&...Pina Coladas, eating, nightly entertainment (such as "Fantasia" - aka Disney Medley Extravaganza! - in which Cate and I could probably have jumped right up on stage and sang and danced with the stars with no real problem at all!), water aerobics, water tricycling, eating, playing tennis, kayaking, discotheque-ing, eating, and napping. Did I mention eating? ;) We did venture off the resort for a one day excursion to experience the natural and man-made wonders of Mexico - zip lining barefoot over the forest, snorkeling in an underwater cave, and exploring the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum.
After having spent seven days in Mexico, the four of us came back home utterly exhausted, 15 lbs lighter, and more than excited for Wisconsin sub-zero weather. *wink*
