Our Rejuvenation Vacation (Aug. 19-23, 2010)

Adam and I had not vacationed or spent much of anytime together without kids since they were born so we were super excited when we went on our cruise last month. Adam's parents kept the boys for us. We did miss them, but knew they were in great hands (THANK YOU) and we had a FANTASTIC time.

We went on a Carnival cruise to Cozumel, Mexico from Mobile, Alabama. We had never cruised before and didn't know what to expect, but we got our prescription ear patches for motion sickness and set sail. The food was plentiful and quite good. There were loads of activities to do or you could just a relax on the deck. Adam treated me to a spa-topia package on board which included a facial and a hot stone massage--amazing! In Cozumel, we went to see some of the Mayan ruins and then enjoyed a little beach time and shopping. All in all, a great experience and one we would love to repeat. Here are a few pictures (wish I had taken more)...

Turn down service with our "Funtimes", chocolate, and towel animal monkey.
The cabins are surprisingly spacious.

One of the many structures remaining at this site.
The site we toured is thought to have been more of a ceremonial/worship site than a residential site.

We enjoyed a beach break after our tour at the ruins. The water is beautiful and the sun is SO much more intense than anywhere else I have experienced.
