10th Anniversary in Mexico!

Mexico has become one of our favorite vacation destinations. For our 10th anniversary, we decided to stay on the small, beautiful Akumal Bay. It is one of my favorite places to be, and I can't wait to stay there some day with my kiddos. I love snorkeling, especially where there are multiple sea turtles and beautiful coral reefs.

If you ever get the chance to visit Tulum, take it. It is one of our favorite locations. When you enter Tulum through the stone wall, it's like stepping back in time. The ruins are breathtaking, especially with the ocean view. The beach there is to die for, too. Unfortunately there was a lot of sea weed washing in this time, but it didn't keep us from having fun.

I love snorkeling in the ocean, and Nick loves the Yucatan Peninsula's many fresh water cenotes. We swam in a couple our last time here, so this trip we decided to visit one of the locals' favorite swim holes. We weren't disappointed. We even had a chance to use our limited Spanish to chat with a local gentleman who got a kick out of chumming for the little fish there so we could take pictures with our underwater camera.

 Our last stop in Mexico was Cancun. We can now say we've played in the waves in Cancun.

We finished off our trip by wandering around the huge Isla Shopping Center. It was so markedly different from any of the other shopping experiences we have had that it really stood out.

All in all, it was a perfect way to spend our 10th anniversary. It was a great way to spend several days with my best friend.
