Wee're baack!! (warning: long post)

what an awesome trip! the weather was perfect the entire time and the hotel was amazing! here is a shot from our balcony, it looks like the beach is far, but it was actually right ON the beach- as soon as we passed the fountains we were in the sand!!! we went to Tulum and Xel- Ha on Monday- it was BEAUTIFUL- Tulum was postcard perfect, literally paradise; the pictures don't do it any justice!

This was Xel-Ha ("where the water is born" - here all the underground rivers and streams meet the ocean- it was gorgeous!)

I can't even tell you how clear the water was- it is the most beautiful turquoise blue you've ever seen...

These are a few of the Mayan Ruins of Tulum- they were pretty amazing too...I can't believe they're 1600 yrs old!!!!

the ruins overlook the sea right here- it was amazing!

some nice french lady kept volunteering to take our picture...

this was back at our resort- it was neat because you could sit back off the ocean a little bit under these palms that provided a mix of shade and sun...

or you could sit right near the water!

view from the ocean- right behind those trees was the pool and hotelthis was the view off our balcony- each night the hotel had a different show or band of some sort- it was so pretty at night with all the fountains lit and everything!

this was the first picture we took when we got there!

it was fun!!!! but we did miss the kiddos and are glad to be home...
