Cancun

In July (2011) we took a big week long family vacation to Cancun, Mexico for my cousin's wedding. My whole family went, including sisters & their families, as well as several extended family members. It was a great trip and we stayed at the Cancun Palace, a wonderful all inclusive resort.

View from our room... where we had room service breakfast on the patio almost every morning we were there... Vince got the hang of room service... he would tell us to call the man to bring us food!!

Baby Carmen was a little over 3.5 months old for this trip. She was a trooper and hung out at the pool with us...

(i'm pretty sure we spiked her hair on purpose :)

But her and big brother Vince took their share of naps by the pool!! In the picture below, Vince is asleep with David, Carmen next to them is also asleep, as is my niece Myca in the pink!

We did a fair share of hanging out at the pool... well, at the pool bar...

We did, however, do an excursion to the Mayan ruins in Tulum.

Vince came along but Carmen stayed back at the hotel with Grandma & Grandpa. Vince loved the iguanas, or Anacondas as he called them. He's very into Diego right now, so he was in to the jungle scene.

more pics of the ruins...

it was on a beautiful cliff that overlooked a beach..

Vince and his favorite cousins there...

Vince, aka "Chente!"

The actual wedding and rehearsal dinners were wonderful as well. Unfortunately it rained on the wedding day so it had to be moved indoors.. but that didn't stop the fireworks at the wedding!!!

More pics from the rehearsal/welcome dinner that was on a terrace...

Love how Carmen and Myca are looking at each other!

And some more misc pics...

At the pool bar...

Us at the wedding ceremony..

Selena and I parasailing in a bench with no seatbelt! She kept telling me that if we fell, the impact would kill us. Talk about a relaxing adventure!

and last but not least, Carmen with her Tia and Tio...

Very fun vacation. When we got home, we were ready to go right back. Until next year... Punta Cana??
