Spring Break

Chad had a week off of church duties so we decided on the spur of the moment to take a little vacation. Our destination was Cancun. It was a great choice. We loved our resort. It was all inclusive so we could eat and drink (non-alcoholic of course) (I loved the mango tangos) all we wanted. There was entertainment poolside and in the evenings there was always a show.

The beach was wonderful. A couple of nights Chad and I would walk on the beach and we would be the only ones there.
This is proof that I did get into the water up past my ankles. The water was warm but quite wavy. The swimming pool was much safer.
We went to the Chichen Itza Mayan temples and Pyramids. It was so interesting. It really made my reading of the Book of Mormon come to life. Now I can see why they were so exact on time in their recording. They were a very intelligent people. The Mayan calender was so ingenious that we still use that knowledge today. This place was huge and I could see tens of thousands living within its boundaries.
We had a great time. This was a five star vacation. Thanks to Jared and Abby for watching Kristi while we were gone.

Wow! It looks like you had a beautiful trip. You both sure have earned a week in paradise after this year!

P.S. The next time you go tropical, it might be as mission presidents!

I've been listening to Aila cry for 45 mins (trying to teach her to fall asleep on her own) and I decided I DESERVE A VACATION!!!!! Glad you guys had a good time but glad you are back. I really missed being able to call and talk to mom whenever I wanted too. =)
