Mexico!!!

Let me just tell you that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun was fantastic in every way so I highly recommend it if you are going anytime soon! We had good weather, were there a great amount of time, got caught up on some good sleep, ate great food, got sunburned......I really can't complain about one thing! I won't forget this birthday, that's for sure. Thanks Gavan for a wonderful surprise! The view from our room

On our balcony waiting for breakfast......we had room service breakfast every morning out here!
Eating lunch right next to the ocean

We watched lots of parasailers

We arrived on Mexico's Independence Day so there was a big party & buffet that night.....yummy!

Our 2nd day it rained on & off all day, so we camped out in this hut bed for a lot of the day. When the sun would come out, we'd just hop in the pool & then go back to reading when it started raining again. Not too shabby!

Heading to dinner

We painted this bowl together one day right beside the pool......our souvenir.

Enjoying ourselves quite a bit!

We ate this appetizer at almost every meal.......SO GOOD!

Look at the crazy wax candelabra behind us! This was our last dinner of the trip....

Jaylen with her gifts we brought her.....a bracelet, doll & "shake-a-rockas", as she calls them! Rosson's gift was the blue one so he wasn't left out! We missed them quite a bit but had such a wonderful trip. Turning 30 wasn't bad at all!

How fun! I think that is where Ashley's cousin was married this summer...the rooms and pools look the same! Glad you were able to celebrate in a big way!

Oh my gosh Melody, your hotel room looks very similar to the one Bethenny Frankel stayed at on her honeymoon.

It looks like a great trip. I'm looking for places to go for my 30 bday as well. I will keep this place in mind.
