I was usually the first one up and would sit on the balcony, reading my book until it was time to wake everyone else up and get going! If I could do this every morning I would be a very happy person!
On Friday we decided to head over to Isla Mujeres, it's an island not too far off the tip of Cancun. We have always wanted to go and Steve knows some people from Creston who have a house there, Denny and Judi.
We took a taxi to the port to catch the ferry over to the island.
Piper was a little scared to ride on the ferry b/c she didn't want sharks to get her?! But ultimately she did great and enjoyed the awesome view and 20 minute ride across.
This lighthouse and resort is where we spent our honeymoon...at Dreams Cancun (now called Hyatt Ziva and a lot more expensive!
Once you get to the island, you rent a golf cart and cruise around!
We made our way around the island, it's very different from the resort area of Cancun that we had just left. The buildings are very close together, a little run down in areas but some of the houses are so cool.......I was glad the kids got to see that different way of life in Mexico.
We found Denny and Judi's house, stopped by and said hi. Got the tour of their place which was awesome! We hung out for a bit and then headed to find a place to eat lunch. We found North Beach which is one of the best beaches in the world (look it up, I did!)! We had lunch at the 'swing' bar that was right near the water, where the floor is sand and very laid back.
Then we enjoyed the beach for a bit. The sand was AMAZING! So thin, like dust. It was crazy how soft it was!
We took the golf cart back and got on the ferry back to Cancun. The taxi driver we had to take us back to the resort set record time with his fast, crazy driving. Seat belts were a must!
We got ready for our dinner at Zai, the oriental restaurant...I think I was the only one who enjoyed it!
A little time in the play area....Presley might be TOO big for this! :)
Our friends from Delaware! They were there last year and we all remembered each other from last year! They are so nice and fun! It was good to see them again!
They asked us if we would be back next year, but it's probably not going to happen b/c we have a wedding in the Dominican in December!
