    Tulum, The Ruins and A Beach I Could Call Home

    Yesterday we decided it was finally time to check out Akumal. We’ve heard nothing but great things about it since we got here. It’s always been high on our list of things to do but for some reason a month had gone by and we still hadn’t gone. Well that changed yesterday and I’m pleased to announce that we all had a good time. Before I get into it though, I suppose I should add a thing or two (or knowing me a hundred) about our three night escape to Tulum. I’m sure you got quite the earful in Cole’s post but he only talked about one day and we all know 5 year olds can never be quite trusted. Especially when iguanas, a trampoline, cheese and mayonnaise sandwiches are involved. 😉 We decided to take a bus to Tulum simply because we thought it would be easier than taking a collectivo…

    Banana Crepes, Iguanas and a Trampoline

    Today has been a great day. So great that dad is letting me, Cole, write this blog entry. Okay, I’m only 5 and can’t really read or write that well but dad said he was going to use my voice, whatever that means. He says that people might enjoy a different point of view for a change.

    We got into a place called Tulum yesterday and we’re staying in a neat hotel room. Me and Jordan have to share a bed but that’s okay because mom and dad are right beside us. I like it when we’re close. Mom must have really wanted to keep me quiet because she let me play my Nintendo DS while she surfed the internet.

    They never let me play games in the morning. It’s too bad because I enjoyed waking up really early and sneaking downstairs to play it when I first got it a few months ago. Dad wasn’t too happy when he found out and from then on they hid it at night so I coulnd’t find it…

    Gran Bahia Principe and Good Friends

    After being in Playa del Carmen so long we get a chance to go on a little side vacation with some visiting good friends from back home. We were going to be staying at a nice little all inclusive hotel named Gran Bahia Principe for a few days. Now when I say little, I mean only in comparison to a city. The place is huge!
