In May we had the awesome opportunity of going to Mexico with T-man and Shar. When they first invited us, we were a bit hesitant as I would be 7 months pregnant but I am so glad we went. We had a blast!
One of the highlights was visiting the ancient temples. We had a great guide take us on tours of three of the area ruins - Chichen Itza, Tulum, and Ek Balam. We all enjoy history and antiquities and loved learning about the ancient people of the area. Our guide also gave some interesting perspective to how these ancient temples relate to the Book of Mormon.
We enjoyed delicious food and seafood at local restaurants and people watching while we ate or relaxed on the beach. At a close tie with visiting the ruins was swimming and snorkeling in freshwater, underground cenotes and in the perfect blue waters of the ocean. Our favorite snorkeling spot was Akumal Bay where we snorkeled with sea turtles. We also snorkeled in a natural aquarium with tons of fish, anenome and coral.
We could not have asked for a better vacation. Good company, good food, good weather, a perfect combination of learning, history, relaxation, and excursions, AND it was just long enough that we felt relaxed and ready to come home to our kids.
