Anniversary in Mexico

As the fall sets in and temps drop here in Columbus Ohio, it is also our anniversary and to celebrate we decided to take a trip down to Cancun Mexico, about 6 hours flight to some of the best beaches, fantastic weather and just a great opportunity to unwind and enjoy some of life's finer pleasures. We booked into a hotel called Dream's which is on the peninsula of the bay in Cancun. It was an all inclusive resort and you can eat all you want and order drinks all day from the bar with no charge for the entire stay. I highly recommend this option and further state that they make a loss on individuals like me. Happy hour starts at 11 on the beach and ends when you go to bed. The food was great and fresh fish is hard to beat as one of the better choices in food. I got to play hours of beach volley ball, played tennis against the local pro, swam at least 3 to 4 times a day and read my book whilst tanning in between. How bad can life be? We were grateful for the great weather, safe travels and another fantastic visit to Mexico, WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

 The room from our balcony at the Dreams hotel, it has a dolphin pool directly below the rooms and they  host opportunities for people to swim with the Dolphins everyday. Quite a thrill to watch these mammals play even after the sun sets in the evening.
 This was a private beach where we got to swim, sun tan and just chill on the lilo each day. The water was crystal clear .
 on the right of the beach was the light house to the bay and the whole view from the beach was breath taking.
 this is the view from the lighthouse looking back at our private beach for the weekend.
 Looking like I just had my first Margarita but many more to follow.
 Lesleigh and I before the early morning swim.
 The water colors changed throughout the day and the colors became more dramatic as the day progressed or was it the Margarita changing my perspectives?
 Three course meals 3 times a day, cant be good for you but I will try my best to disprove that theory.
 The front side of the resort faces the open sea and behind me you can see just how gorgeous the water was.
 Taking in a bit of sun is always a sign of good healthy skin, you might say that I may have been greedy with the sun on this day.
 Lesleigh attends her first Scuba diving class and then she got to go out to a reef for her first scuba dive.
 A natural with the dive gear and she loved it, so no guessing what we will be doing on our next beach holiday!
