Winter Escape

My husband and I went on a small vacation that was needed in a very bad way.  So off to Cancun, Mexico we went.  We met up with a couple of his older brothers and their wives.  We stayed at the Riu Palace Costa Mujeres a new resort that opened in Nov 2018. 
 




When we arrived Jeff and I had to get down to the ocean.  I was so excited to feel the sand and ocean.  



This was an all-inclusive resort so plenty of food and drinks.  We even caught a Micheal Jackson show.  At the resort next to us we were able to use their water park so better believe I checked out a couple of the slides.  


We took a day to go on a day trip.... it included snorkeling in the ocean, swimming off of Isla Mujeres, and then being dropped off on the island for a few hours.  While on the island we rented a golf cart to explore.  Off we went to the far east of the island where we saw iguanas, a few shops, but also the most beautiful view.  

On our last full day there we hung out at the pool with the family mostly but we did take a last stroll down where the sand meets the ocean.  I also scored a massage for half off from a setup off the resort.  Yes I will take a massage while listening to the ocean.  

Travel day home was hard...it was a long day and then the change of temperature by 50* that was rough.
