A bit about Vacation

Vacation was so much fun!! We started out in Texas first visiting my favorite Aunt. I had not seen her in 3 years and so it was great to get time with her. I was able to spend time with a cousin and his wife that I had not seen in about 10 years.
Next it was off to San Antonio to visit friends and some sightseeing. We of course had to do the River walk filled with shops and restaurants. Of course we had to visit the Alamo as well. We also visited a few of the other San Antonio missions which were my favorites. There is so much history there

These were paintings discovered under years of dust and grime
After a week of visiting family, friends and sight seeing it was off to Cancun for a week
All I can say about that was AHHH! Hubby and I have never had a two week vacation and never in all of our married life, 2 weeks away just the 2 of us. We have had many vacations over the years but always with children or friends. This time it was just us two and  It was A-MA-ZING
A peek at the resort we stayed at

Hubby enjoying a mango margarita (gotta love happy hour)

Yes that's a crocodile  on the way to the pool

A beautiful view of the caribbean sea

We had all these plans before we got there, to do so many things, but the resort was so beautiful and the water breathtaking, as you can see. We ended up mainly spending the time on the beach in the warmth of the sun and the joy of each others company.  We ate wonderful food, did a bit of  shopping in Playa Del Carmen, laughed , rested and relaxed, oh and did I mention the Mango Margaritas : )
One of our best Vacations by far.

  5. How exciting it is to just get away just the two of you. Was so glad to hear that your Cancun trip was great. We cancelled ours for January, we were taking our daughter but I just wasn't sure about saftey this time. We are to go back this fall. Last time there we stayed at the Gran Principle in Tulum, we loved it. Can I ask where you both stayed, it's always good to know what places are good and what isn't. Have a wonderful rest of the week. Hugs, Jolyn

  13. I love San Antonio ~ lots of history, great food and fun! Glad you had a week in Mexico too. That really speaks to me right now...so ding dang cold here I can't stand it! With the Super Bowl over, we thought we might have a breather with the weather but nope, it came back to haunt us...but not as bad as last week.

    I'm off to check out your Willow House items!
