Mom's Gone Wild - Cancun

Well, I know this is a bit belated, but here is my report on my first post-child, no-child getaway. The adventure of Katie, Mary, Jen and myself.

We left late on a Tuesday night and headed to Detroit. We got up at 4am to get ready and head to the airport. Unfortunately, the cold that I had come down with on Monday wasn't letting up - but I was still determined to have fun!

We made it down to Cancun around 2pm. It was BEAUTIFUL out. The airport was immaculate and we made our way to the hotel without any problem. Within the hour, we were in the pool....:)

The next 2 days were filled with reading, napping, swimming, sunning, eating and a tasty beverage or two. My cold did not let up, but I still have a really wonderful time. We were hit on by a group of "mature men"...ok, we weren't really hit on, and when I say mature, I mean about 30-some years older than us...but hey - I can pretend, right!? They were actually really cute - on vacation with their wives, and we made them take a group picture together!

The sand was so white, the water was SO blue, and every night, we slept with the door open so we could hear the waves! One night, we split up for date night - Katie and Jen to the japanese place and Mary and I went to the "meat place"...(brazilian?). I had a wonderful time getting to know Mary better, since this was the first time we had met. We also hit the Pacha - (disco, anyone?) and Katie honored us with a fabulous air guitar performance, in honor of her husband. We saw the most captivating couple dancing there, and were all left with a sense of...."dude, wish WE could dance like that!!!".

We took TONS of pictures, which are mostly on Mary's camera....While I was there, I read Eat, Love, Pray - which was a GREAT book!

I had a great time. I would totally vacation with these gals again! I did miss Isaac and Brian, of course, but for a Mom's getaway...
