tracythomp - Cancun

Adam and I just returned from the most amazing vacation. We went to an all inclusive resort in Mexico. Honestly I wasn't exactly what to expect and I had kind of low expectations because I have heard so much negative stuff about mexico recently. As we were driving to our hotel I got my first glimpse of the amazing Caribbean sea. It literally brought tears to my eyes. It was a color of aqua that I have never seen. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with cold hand towels and banana iced tea. This was just a small insight into how we would be treated during our stay. We were taken to our room and the view from our balcony with breath taking. I have to say I felt like an excited little girl on christmas morning. We took a minute to take it in but then got our bathing suits on andwent to see if we could find some lunch. There was a restaurant that was pretty much right on the beach. Watching the ocean waves roll in as I simmed a mojito was delightful. THis restaurant offered both an al a carte menu and a buffet for lunch. We decided on the buffet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables and a varity of sea food and italian favorites. After lunch we laid by the infinity pools. THey were so gorgeous. The way the pools were set up it looked like they were part of the ocean, it is hard to explain but it was so cool. We talked about how we weird it was that we had no schedule and no place to be. We were going to have to force ourselves to slow down and not think about time. That was pretty easy because there were no clocks around and no one seemed to be in a hurry. We were treated like kings the entire time we were there. We had exquisite cuisine and someone offering us drinks regularly. I have to say it was a much need vacation.
On the other hand it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to be away from my little boy. I missed him so much. One night I couldn't sleep and woke up crying because i was so sad to be away from him. He did fine while he stayed with his Grandma but I do believe I won't be leaving him any time soon! I enjoyed not having responsibility but the joy he brings to my life is too much to leave him again. Next family vacation will be a full family affair.
I was happy to see him at the airport. He was a little confused about why we were there but was very happy to see us.
