Mexico and the Mayan Ruins in Tulum
 |
| the views while pulling into Mexico... |
A little shop that our tour stopped at on the way to Tulum. There were a bunch of artifacts and history type information all over the walls. It was a neat shop but we were led to believe by our tour guide that it was the only place for souvenirs on the tour. So we all bought things and then found out that there was a big flea market right outside the entrance to the ruins!! So irritating! Things are MUCH cheaper at a flea market!
 |
| Welcome to Tulum! |
 |
| These people yelled at us for snapping pictures as we walked by...your suppose to pay for souvenir shots with them. Whoops! |
 |
| These trees were kinda cool. The trunks twisted around all over the place! |
 |
| Apparently the taquilla is just as important as tickets in Mexico:) |
 |
| giant Iguana going on a walk.... |
 |
| Then he found a friend... |
 |
| And ATTACKED!!! Haha:) |
|
 |
| Not sure what this is but it was pretty:) |
The ruins! It was soo cool to see this stuff. After a little while we ditched our tour guide that was telling really long stories about the Mayans and just took the pics that we wanted and sneaked off to the beach:)
 |
| Some crazy shoes a lady on our group was wearing:) |
 |
| Posing for all the tourists:) |
the beach that we sneaked off to...obviously we weren't the only ones that thought of it:)
Cayman Islands, BAHAMAS!!

 |
| Never know what youll get when you have a random stranger take a pic:) |
 |
| Thought the boys would like this one:) |
 |
| Door to door with Dora...hahaha:) I bet they think they are pretty clever! |

Swimming WITH any type of critter seems terribly creepy to me. So if you send me on vacation and ask me to pay a hefty price for the privilege Im probably going to say...No freaking way!! Which I did:) So these are pics form other friends that did do such crazy things. Ill admit they are great pics...but Im glad I didnt have to participate to get them:)
And Thats All Folks!!! We enjoyed a relaxing ship day as the ship booked it back to Miami and we discovered that on board credit cant be used for tips and the gift shop aboard closes when the ship is docked! Whoops!! Remember that for next time! it was the coolest vacation...relaxing and fun filled, very low stress, like a vacation you see on TV but think there is no way that is really how smooth it goes. It was super smooth and crazy fun. Cant wait to do it again:)
WELCOME HOME
the boys decorated for our homecoming!! :)
