Riviera Maya January 2016

Our first stamps in our passports

Off to Cancun and then on to Riviera Maya

We stayed at the Grand Palladium Resort

The resorts beach was 2 miles long

Our room in villa #68 was large and spacious

We really enjoyed the jetted tub after walking

everywhere all day

Iguanas were everywhere we went

We had two decisions to make

How much sunblock

and how long to tan on the front and the back

We attempted snorkeling.

We swam with giant turtles

saw the corral reef and salt water fish

Sunday we went up into the country

and went to a cenote (an underground river)

and a living Mayan village and then

Chichen Itza one of the 

seven wonders of the world.

The only Mormons we meet the whole

vacation was the elders at chichen itza

The Cabanas on the beach were the best

We would have loved to spend three more 

days reading and stitching on the beach

The resort had crocodiles - enclosed

Flamingos

Orchid Gardens

We could eat or drink anything, anytime.

We did break down and have a Virgin Margarita and Daiquari

before we caught our shuttle back to the airport

Goodbye Cancun - Hope to come back some day

It was a wonderful vacation.

MY GRANDKIDS ARE CUTER THAN YOURS

Happy Birthday to all the Grandkids

We had so much fun.

For those who do not know the story behind this

for Christmas I gave each family a monster Minky Couture Blanket.  

I am actually one of their home seamstresses.

Well the children would never let the parents use it.  

so I decided for their Birthdays 2015 I would give each child their very own.

I let the grandchildren choose their own.  

So we had one large party with party hats balloons and prime rib.

They will probably never get another party like this.

Thanks Leisa for being the photographer
