We interrupt this life for a brief visit to paradise....

This last semester was insane for us (you may have noticed a shortage of blog posts).  About midway, I decided we needed to get away over the break.  We didn't even have time to plan the trip, and it hit me... isn't that what travel agents do?  My requirements: warm, relaxing, and no kids (an extra huge thank you to my family for watching Nathaniel).  We ended up going to an all inclusive resort in the Rivera Maya (about 30 miles south of Cancun).  It was perfect for two frazzled working parents.  Below are some highlights, but you can check out all our Mexico Pictures on Flickr. 

Where we stayed: El Dorado Royale



Spent time on the beach





Relaxed by the pool





Celebrated New Year's Eve





And enjoyed delicious gourmet food and drinks at all the restaurants and bars
