Well, after Thanksgiving, we always get ready for our trip to Mexico. It's fun to know that the holidays are coming and a vacation is too!
This year we invited along another couple with us, our friends and wedding attendants, Paul and Bridget. It was nice to be able to get away and have fun with them too.
But before we went, 11/20, we had an Engagement Celebration! It was alot of fun to get together with friends and family. It was the official kickoff to planning and sharing our lives as an engaged couple.
Michael's birthday is on the 1st of December, so it is nice to be able to get away to celebrate that too! I took some cake up to Michael's station and had a little celebration.

We stayed at one of our favorite places, Adventura Spa Palace. It is about 1 hour South of Cancun. It is so great going during the Christmas time, they have a big tree in both of their lobbys and they have Christmas music playing. The water was warn and the weather 
was beautiful! It was a bit overcast the first day,but by the 2nd day, was sunny and beautiful! 87' during the day and in the 70's during the night. Last year, it was cooler in the evening.We took full advantage of the all inclusive. I can honestly say, they made the BEST Margaritas and Mojitos. Michael continued to enjoy the favorite drink from last year, the Dirty Monkey and Planters Punch. Noting is better than sitting by the beach and pool, having a waiter come and bring you drinks and snacks all day long. There is also a fresh juice bar in the hydrotherapy area where Michael and I fell asleep after doing the hot tub and cold plunge. My favorite part was when we go back to the room when the pool cl
oses to get ready and all dressed up for dinner. The dinners are great, and we had so much great food. The steakhouse was probably Michael and Paul's favorite, they were able to order 2 filet mignon and I am pretty sure that they were in Heaven. I would not recommend having dinner and 5 bottles of Champagne. I am pretty sure that we all had headaches the next day.
They definately had the best ice cream in the WORLD! It was so yummy! This was the Prime Rib and Lamb night. I was in heaven.

One night entertainment was a circus and another fire dancers on the beach. Michael even was brought up on stage and won us a bottle of Champagne! Room Service anyone? Did I mention that they had room service all night long? I heard the sliders were great!
Our resort gives us free activities and tours, so we took advantage of the Tulum tour (we have already gone to Coba and Chichen Itza. It was amazing, but it would have been a little nicer to be able have a longer tour. 
Bridget really had fun in the waves at Tulum!
Needless to say, Mexico was great! We were sad to come back, but cant wait to see the boys and get to jump right into the holiday season!
Pancho, the Donkey. He was so cute, we couldnt resist getting a pitcure with him!
