COZUMEL- MEXICO!!

HEAVEN. Seriously I think this is what heaven is going to be like. Our trip was perfect! Our hotel (Playa Azul) was also perfect! There were only 3 other couples staying there! The timing, the weather, the food, the people, the snorkeling, the scuba diving, the water, the shopping... PERFECT. ( I will be posting more abstract pics from my better camera soon.)

DAY ONE- Explore the hotel and go to the local markets!

View from the plane... Uh, I was a little excited ok?!


Inside of our adorable little hotel.



Crystal clear water... unbelievable!




View from our hotel room

Apparently we had the best beach on the whole island!

Adorable little cabana with breath taking views!

Up the beach a little ways from our hotel.

DAY TWO- RELAX!! Snorkeling and lobster dinner on the beach!

Now THIS is the life!! Where's my Pina Colada?

Ahhh... just taking a little snoozer! You deserve it babe!

Not a care in the world. Kids? What kids?


We had great snorkeling just outside our hotel. Too bad we didn't get any pictures!

The ONE time we didn't have our bathing suites on!

Mmmm... romantic lobster dinner over looking the beach... oh wait it's pitch black.

DAY THREE- Scuba Diving and exploring the south shore of the island.

Joe and I had a BLAST scuba diving! We both thought we would be nervous but we had a great instructor and it was SO much fun!! We did it gradually and ended up at about 30 feet in this alcove off the beach- absolutely beautiful! It was such an amazing experience- I highly recommend it to everyone!

Yes, that is a BARRACUDA!!











Joe is a HAM even under water!





We were wondering what everyone was doing on the side of the street with buckets!

This is what they were doing... helping the crabs cross the road!

There were all kinds of cool looking crabs! And HUNDREDS of them!

I LOVED this beach!! It was a private beach that was hidden away. It had the COOLEST hammocks and these amaizing beach beds too!

Just kicking it after a long scooter ride.

DAY FOUR- Scuba Diving (Again!) and renting a scooter

Second time scuba diving! We had so much fun the first time, we decided to do it again! This time we went deeper onto an actual reef in the middle of the ocean and we had to jump off the boat!

Ummm... this is the ruin we drove miles to see?

Dorking it out on the scooter!

Sunset- how romantic!

Miles of white sand beaches on the south shore.

LAST DAY- CRUISING ON THE SCOOTER AND SWIMMING AT THE RESORT

Getting in one last swim!

Really cool swings we found along the drive
