Viva La Mexico!

I guess we have truly become northeasterners as we fled from winter in NJ for the warmth of Cancun, Mexico for a few days.

I love this photo of Chloe. She had fallen asleep on the way to this market and after she woke up we put this sombrero on her. She's not very happy about it.

Because Matt traveled so much for work for so many years, he maintains the highest preferred member status with a few hotel chains. From time to time this gets us some good offers from the hotels. About a year ago, Starwood hotels made us an offer we couldn't refuse, 4 nights/5 days in Cancun for $156 and $200 in hotel cash. Done deal.

So last Friday we set out from JFK to Cancun for a nice long beach retreat. We had a great time soaking up some sun, playing in the sand and swimming. We lounged most of the time but did one excursion, which we had promised to do with Chloe, a dolphin swim.

Chloe playing in the sand on the beach. She would play on the beach for about 10 minutes and then want to swim in the pool. We constantly spent our day moving from beach to pool.

Chloe got to write her name on the wall of the restaurant.

And below are our photos during our dolphin swim. Here, we are getting a "kiss" from the dolphins. We got to splash, pet and kiss the dolphins. The water was very cold, which Chloe didn't like at first but we convinced her to stay in the water. She wasn't scared of the dolphins even though they are big. She just wanted to touch them.
