Last Day of Spring Break 2017

For our last day in Cancun, we decided to 

hang out at the hotel and relax all day.

We built sandcastles

 and swam at several of the pools.

Harper called this one Treasure Island.

Ashley and I lounged by the pool and enjoyed the ocean view

while Harper swam and swam and swam.

At Harper's request, we ordered lunch by the pool again.

Later, she relaxed with a banana smoothie.

We went for one last swim in the ocean

 and ate dinner at The Hard Rock Cafe.

Before we left Cancun Harper said, "I want go to Mexico again!"

Cancun Day 3

This morning Harper locked Ashley and I out on the patio.

I'm pretty sure she thought she was punishing us,

but the view was beautiful and a certain little chatterbox

was on the other side of the door.

Eventually, she let us back inside and we decided

to go to the Interactive Aquarium.

It was a small aquarium, but Harper liked

touching the starfish.

She was not interested in touching the stingrays.

We saw a dolphin show

then shopped around at La Isla Mall.

We grabbed a quick lunch at Johnny Rocket's

then headed back to the hotel to relax.

We played at the playground

and of course saved some time for the beach!

We found excellent food for dinner at a place called Mextreme.

The waiters sing and dance and 

carry the drinks out stacked on top of their heads.

Harper was so excited to have her lemonade in a big glass!

We were dining on the front patio and witnessed a car accident.

It didn't look like the injuries were serious,

but there was an ambulance, a lot of police, and quite a traffic jam.

Tuesday in Cancun

For our first full day in Cancun, 

we decided to relax at the beach and pool all day.

Harper found a pool that was perfect for her.

It was only 1.5 feet deep.

Right next to this pool is a little playground.

We had a great view at lunch and Harper found macaroni and cheese! 

(It was so bright outside that I didn't notice Harper's eyes were closed.)

After lunch, we headed back out onto the beach.

Both girls loved playing in the sand.

(OK--one of them more than the other!)

At dinner, we found a fun place called Carlos & Charlie's.

Harper said, "I want to go to Mexico again!"

 

Spring Break 2017

We are spending Spring Break at the Fiesta Grand Americana

Coral Beach in Cancun this year!

We have an ocean front suite with an amazing view.

It was lunchtime when we got to the resort,

so we headed to the beach and ordered food.

Harper was very excited to find a corn dog on the menu!

The pizza was good too.

We played in the ocean

and in the sand

and tried out one of the pools.

It was a great first day of vacation!
