So Luke surprised me on the location and hotel that we stayed at. He actually did a really good job keeping it from me. We flew out to Cancun and stayed in the nicest hotel I have ever been in. If you ever have the chance to go stay in a J.W. Marriott, do it! You can guess what we did the whole time...yep, played at the beach, the pool, at water parks, ordered room service and visited old ruins at Tulum, and yeah, basically had a blast. Here are the highlights of the pics from this amazing trip.
This is Luke and I at the airport getting ready to board the plane from Salt Lake City to Cancun
How could we not go to Senior Frogs?
One of the entrances to Tulum
Look at the size of that iguana...there were all over the place and they were just chilling
This was one of my favorite buildings in this place. The area was actually pretty big. It took us most of the day to walk around.
Another cool view of the watchtower. You can see the storm rolling in, it was so hot and humid
My good lookin' husband hanging out in the infinity pool. The pool was so perfect!
Unfortunately, the red flag was out for the duration of our trip meaning we couldn't go play in the water...we were watching the weather channel every night waiting for the update of the hurricane that was headed our direction...we got lucky and it didn't hit Cancun while we were there
Here is my standard picture that I need to take whenever I am on a beach
My cute new husband being way cheesy!
Here is the view from our 13th floor ocean view room...jealous yet?
Our favorite place to eat
What more can I say...I just want to go back. This was a small beach that we stopped at on our way home from one of our other adventures that didn't go so well. We learned that if we want to get anywhere in Mexico, we should just take a tour bus there or something besides driving ourselves around. It was the biggest nightmare. One day we tried to drive to Isla Mujeres and got all the way up there and couldn't find a dang place to park except in some back alley. We didn't feel safe leaving the car there so we went back to the hotel and hung out at the pool. The day this picture was taken we were on our way back from attempting to go to Cozumel. The drivers out there are absolutely crazy!! We would just be driving down the highway when all of a sudden, the cars in front of us would just slam on the breaks and slow down to about 10 mph! For some strange and stupid reason, they put a series of speed bumps in random spots on the freeway. So people would have to slam on the breaks and almost cause accidents left and right. It was very stressful and I am happy that I was wasn't driving!
Look at the talent of our housekeepers! The first day we got there, we walked into a room with a bottle of champagne and passion fruit! We decided to open up the wine, make a toast, and dump it down the toilet
I really like this picture, but as you can tell, it is a little blurry. Partly because of the humidity, partly it was user error. 
This was probably the best tasting steak I have had in a long time. I think we should make Ruth's Chris an anniversary tradition...
It was so much fun to get away with my husband and just have fun and enjoy life. I hope that we get to have many more trips like this all over the place!
