Mexico 2008

In August, we tested our spontaneity. 
We booked a vacation two weeks before departure.
 

We stayed at the Grand Palladium resort in Riviera Maya.
The trip was phenomenal...and a blessing.
 

We spent most of our time on the beach...
 

and some time at the pool.
 

A romantic dinner
 

Lamb with mint jelly
 

Our room was beautiful!!
 

Apparently you need a sombrero
and a gun to look Mexican.
 

Laura relaxing in the pool...
 

while Paul fetches the fruity drinks.
 

Yummy dessert!
 

Paul walks the trail of the giant jumping spiders.
 

Anything you can do...

I can do better!

Paul loves his pool
 

Mexico tastes pretty good!

Paul fed some kitties...
 

and Laura fed the fishies.
 

Paul relaxing and reading Harry Potter.
 

Laura just relaxing.
 

Our favorite drink: Bamboo
(Iced coconut milk with raspberry syrup)
 

Paul couldn't make it in until Hole 4.
 

Laura won the game!
 

Late-night dip
 

I guess the Chinese carry parasols everywhere?
 

We saw the Disney show.  I loved it!
 

Yes, Paul is drinking two at once.
 

Beach bums
 

We watched the sun set every night.

Paul, thank you for convincing me to take this vacation.
We had such a wonderful time together.  I love you!
