A Week in Paradise

Well we were lucky enough to get an invitation to spend a week at a great resort in Cancun, Mexico. My grandparents have a time share at the Royal Sands and we decided to crash the party. We left right after Lance's birthday so this was his gift and I just got to benefit from it too. I'm going to have a tough time next year finding something to beat this year's gift. We spent the week with my grandparents, my cousin Niki, her husband Philip, their baby Levi, and my uncle Richard.

Every morning we would wake up and go shelling. The first two days we were there were kinda stormy so the waves brought up some great shells and sand dollars that had not been broken. We found a lot of stuff including sunglasses, turtle eggs, shells, and money (pesos).


We did a lot of relaxing in the pool and playing in the ocean. We also had our daily 2 o'clock volleyball game on the beach. It was a lot of fun and Lance and I got to find out how out of shape we are. Our favorite time of the day was between 3 and 6, HAPPY HOUR. You can't beat 1/2 price virgin pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris with free chips and salsa. We also had fun painting ceramics, going to karaoke night with Richard (my uncle), and participating in water aerobics one morning (once was enough for us).
