A much needed getaway

In mid February, Mike and I got away for a much need R&R vacation, just the two of us. We haven't been away together in almost 2 years and having two kids and a very busy schedule, we needed a little getaway. Luckily, DeeDee and Papa came up to watch our little rascals while we were away. 

After doing a lot of research on places to go, we decided to head to the Mayan Rivera and it was perfect. We had great weather and just sitting by the pool was perfection! Not to mention, the pool was pretty amazing!

 The grounds of the entire resort were perfection! So lush and green and filled with flowers everywhere. 

 This was my view everyday! Soaking in the sun with a cold beverage in hand.
 The resort had fun activities every night including a fire show on the beach and casino night (where I won a free massage in the spa!)
 One day, we took an excursion to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum. It was very interesting and beautiful.




 The ruins sit right above one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. The water has three different shades of blue.



 Back at the resort, the path leading to the beach. In just looking at these pictures, I want to go back right away! We honestly had such an amazing time and it was such a relief knowing the girls were in such great hands being taken care of. 
Plus as a little added bonus, while we sitting in 80 degree temps, Charlotte was having this weather...

 I think I will take my iceberg by the pool please!!
We had a great time, ate too much, drank too much and slept in (if you call 7:30 sleeping in which we do!) but of course missed the girls like crazy and couldn't wait to come home and see them after 4 days away. 

Now, warm weather please come and stay here in Charlotte, I am ready for spring!
