babymoon!!!!

I have the sweetest husband :)
September is the last month i can travel before our little "bump" arrives...so my hubby took me on a babymoon!!!
We had so much fun together :) It was awesome getting to spend an entire week w/ my favorite person in the world, no interuptions!

Our destination was the Maya Riviera, Mexico.


We stayed at an all-inclusive resort, and each day the cleaning ladies left funny little towel creatures on our bed...some were cute...some were kind of scary lol






We spent most of our time at the resort...though we did venture out a few times :)
Everything was so pretty :)

spending time out in the sun...



there were several pools as well as the ocean to choose from :)


walking from the main lobby towards the pools/ocean

a very cool ceiling :)

each night the resort we stayed at put on a show. our favorite was called "cirque del sol" which was an acrobatic performance.


while the buffet food at the resort was nothing spectacular, the nights that we were able to eat a la carte were a blast!


this particular evening we ate at an outdoor restaurant w/ a beautiful view of the beach in the background :)





another restaurant we really enjoyed was called "la creperie." it was a dessert and coffee cafe. they served all different kinds of crepes, ice cream, milkshakes, and coffees. it was open every evening from 5-11.
one of our favorite parts of the trip was just sitting outside at this restaurant, enjoying the warm night air, and chatting while eating dessert and sipping on coffee :)

mmmmm :)

one day we booked and excursion to some ancient ruins known as Tulum and to a natural water park called Xel-Ha.

the day started out kind of rainy...

but that didn't dampen our spirits!!!
and it didn't take long for things to warm right up :)

some of the ancient ruins at Tulum:


Tulum boarders the ocean w/ a beautiful view!!! We took the opportunity to get some baby bump picures :)


24 weeks, 5 days :)

after seeing the ruins, it was time for the water park!!!! the best part was the snorkelling :)


there was a river that you could just float down and see all kinds of colorful fish :) it took about an hour to get down the river.

the rest of the time we checked out the nature trails and the animals :)




and then, before we knew it, the week was over :(

parting shots at the Cancun airport...
