The finale

Thursday: We were pretty worn out from our busy day on Wednesday, so Thursday was a chill day. (we didn't have kids, weren't they all!) We laid around most of the day, at the pool and also at the beach. While we were at the beach we joined a group to play horseshoes. It was actually pretty fun, and I wasn't as awful as I thought I would be. That night we took a shuttle into Cancun so we could check out the city. It was pretty fun. We met some cool people on the shuttle and we had a good time. Its a pretty busy city, lots and lots of people. It was a really fun night.

Friday: This morning we woke up to that feeling of craving our children. We didn't get to talk to them very much because it was so expensive. Over breakfast we talked about them and how excited we were to see them. We spent more time laying out by the beach and pool that day. We had our last dinner reservation that night at the Steak House. It was really good too. Then we headed out to the beach. The whole week we talked about going out at night to sit and listen to the waves. It was really romantic, although it didn't last long because I got cold.Saturday: This morning we woke up to the feeling of excitement that we would get to see our kids that night!! It was the perfect length of vacation because it was totally relaxing, and long enough that by the end we were completely ready to leave. Check out was at noon but our shuttle to the airport wasn't until 4:30. I guess that happens a lot because they have a hospitality room where they keep your luggage for you and showers for you to use. We checked out and then headed back out to catch our last little bit of fun in the sun before we had to leave. We took a lot of last minute pictures of the resort. We really wanted to be able to remember how beautiful it was. Then we got ready and headed off the the airport. My mom was kind enough to come pick us at 11:30pm when our flight got in. We decided to stay down in Orem that night and drive home the next morning so we didn't have to wake the kids.

Needless to say, I was an absolutely fabulous trip. We couldn't have asked for anything more. A special thanks goes out to the Rife household (especially Nana) for making it all possible. We wouldn't have been able to have such a great time if we weren't comepletely sure that our kids were safe and well cared for. You guys are the best. And to anyone out there who is contemplating a trip with their spouse- I highly recommend the IBEROSTAR Resort in Rivera Maya. I know you won't be disappointed!
