Um..I think theres like 500 pictures here.....not really but theres a lot...I hope you can get a taste of what the week was like :D
The first night in Cancun we were all pretty hammered...but in need of some food...since our "all inclusive" resort didn't feature room service we headed out on the town looking for some grub...I'm just glad we didn't all get sick on the first night :D

Day 1: We're just a couple of whities enjoying our time on the beach!
Basically I think we all would have died of starvation if not for the nightly MCD's ice cream we lived off of...Meg and I decided it tasted slightly like cheese...cream cheese
Boys will be boys....
Awesome night view of our hotel
Just some posing bikes...we didn't really ride them..I think I would have killed myself on one of these things...
A whole new meaning to the term "living in the sticks"
On our way to Chichen Itza we stopped at a little rest area for like 30 minutes to get out and stretch (it was a 3 hr drive...both ways). There was a lady in the bathroom handing out toilet paper..that you couldn't flush...and she had a little tip tray for the service....I guess you have to find every way you can to make a peso in that country.....
BIG OLD IGUANA that we lured in with a banana....he was a big one
Chichen Itza was pretty cool. Its these old Mayan ruins where there was once a huge civilization of people living there. The huge tower was one of the temples they had and they also used it as a calander. You used to be able to climb to the top but just last year someone fell down and died so they don't let people do that anymore...it was HUGE.
Just a stray dog hanging out..they were everywhere and they just kinda laid there....didn't really acknowledge anyone.
Oh..and theres another one...they don't really have any neutering laws in Mexico..they just kinda breed as they please.
After Chichen Itza we ate at a home town buffet in Mexico...it was....good.....but after these boys kept trying to sell us their goods....of course we didn't buy any...Mike and Tim kicked a ball around with them for a bit...then as we were leaving Tim gave one of them his 50 pesos that he still had in his wallet from Argentina...they were excited but they still kept trying to get us to trade for Meagan's Nikes...they wanted them bad...
Awesome view from our window.
We soon figured out that this was why those people could survive on that food...Margarita y Marijuana..these were the staple foods we were missing out on!
Just hanging out at the Pizza Hut......it was...good
Lovin the MCD's cheese ice cream!
This woman was one of the many people that would walk up and down our beach day after day trying to sell us braids for our hair....she was quickly named the "predator" lady...anyone that has seen Alien vs Predator..or any of the Predator movies would recognize the head that she's carrying as the Predator!
Feeling a little...meaty
Our last day on the beach...we had a few more hours before we had to go..and I have to admit that although the beach was beautiful and the weather was perfect we were anxious to get home!
Yeah...thats our house! We're pretty excited about it. In fact we were so excited that we drove down again today to take some pictures and this is what they had done in ONE day!
*Cut the archway for our front porch...
*Installed ALL of the electrical wiring.....(kind of hard to see-thats part of our kitchen)
*Installed our HUGE jetted master bathtub :)
Yes we both fit comfortably...that was a priority! And they had put in a bunch of the plumbing...but I didn't really get a picture of that......
This is the archway that I insisted on having that looks into our front living room. There were so many things that I wanted to have that was different from the original floor plans. But our contractor was so awesome about making it work. Our house is the only custom one so far in the whole subdivision...lol...I guess I just knew what I wanted. Our entire living room is custom. It was originally another front bedroom, but I really wanted a formal living room so Kaleb (the contractor) said it wouldn't be a problem changing the bedroom into the living room I wanted. Also the front windows are not the standard ones that came on the house plan we picked. It originally had one ugly square window and I asked if we could get the three panel ones because they look 1000 times better. So thats something that none of the other houses with our same floor plan have. We're pretty excited about the progress that has been happening. We can actually picture living there now... YAY!
