Mexico Picture Overload

We are back! We had a fantastic time in Mexico. We stayed at the Catalonia Royal Tulum Resort in Xpu-Ha, which is way south on the Riviera Maya. The hotel over booked and tried to send Dan and Jamie to another resort for a couple of days, but Jamie worked her magic and got us upgraded to suites and the spa with free massages, ect. Thanks Jamie!!! :)


Most of our trip was spent relaxing on the beach, but the first day we were there we went on an excursion that exceeded all of our expectations. We had a private tour for just the 4 of us with the owner of the company. If you are EVER in Mexico, you need to book a tour with Edventure Tours. It was unbelievable.


Here are a few (I mean a lot) of my favorite pictures. There are so many more that I might post again, but here is a start.



Nick and I snorkeling in a Cenote (underground river in caves, amazing!)

Ladder in the Cenote


More Cenote



Nick, Me, Jamie & Dan in the Cenote


Sea Turtle - This was in the ocean, no net. Just a sea turtle in it's element. Awesome!



Nick with the Sea Turtle



Eagle Ray - We saw one eating too. I will post a video of that later.


It was so fun to see the fish in the reef now that we know what we are looking at because of our saltwater tank.


Must get Beer at the mini super!




Me jumping off a cliff into a lagoon. (Yes, I did lose my mind!)




Nick jumping off the cliff. (he finally listened to my year's of advice...just kidding honey!)


Me hanging upside down on a zip line over a lagoon. (Once again, lost my mind. But it was awesome!)

Nick upside down on the zip line. See the stick in his hand...that's the brake!


Nick and I in a canoe on the Lagoon. (that sounds a little like Dr. Suess to me! "Three Dogs in a Boat at night") HA!



Mayan Ruins in Tulum.


Beach at Tulum. Gorgeous!
