Welcome to Akumal!

Have you ever been somewhere that you might never leave, that is if you didn't have children, careers and family at home. Going to Akumal, Mexico is pretty tempting to leave all those things behind. It is beyond beautiful and the fish tacos are to die for.

We decided it was time for a longer trip than just the weekend with no children, no dogs, no employees, no alarm clocks, no diets, and NO SNOW. We also decided to bring some friends along to join in the fun (Ike and Jenny.) The best part of the trip was leaving all those things behind, and giving that responsibility to the best sister in-law and brother in-law for the job, Shanae and Josh Farley. They did the most amazing job taking care of our lives while we were away. In fact, our baby Liam sleeps through the night now. I would love to hire them again every time we leave out of town, but after 8 crazy days being thrown in a life they weren't quite sure of, I think they might pass on the offer. I want to thank them for taking such good care of our lives and responsibilities while we were away, they made our trip awesome and stress-free. We love you!

So here are some of the pics in Akumal... There will be more to come of our travels in Mexico!

The Lagoon we snorkel at, right across the street from Casa Savasana




This is where Blake and I stayed on our Honeymoon almost 6 years ago. We went back to show Ike and Jenny.
The beach we hung out on our honeymoon!

This is my favorite house in Akumal, it is called Casa MiraMar. It is awesome looking, I hope one day to see the inside.


Blake hangin' out in the Kitchen of Savasana(Probably looking for cookies)

I love this pic Blake took, I think it is cool
These are the kind of bugs chillin' with us in the house, every time we go we encounter some creepy crawly. Last time it was a tarantula
GROSS!! I know, but it is my favorite pic of us on the whole trip!

I think we'd do it again, after we have a few months of rest...sure we'd give it another go. I love your boys SOOOOO much. And They love Josh. It looks like you guys did lots of fabulous things. I want to go and lay on the beach for a week. Just lay there.
