Our Mexican Vacation

The day after we closed on our house, T and I left for a few days of vacation in Mexico.  We've had this trip planned for several months, not knowing we'd be closing on a house around the same time. When we were figuring out a closing date for our new house, we thought it made the most sense to buy the house and leave for a few days while we had the floors redone.  In theory it made perfect sense, but after our closing date was pushed back by a day, it had us scrambling at the last minute to sign paperwork before we left the country.  Thankfully it all worked out, but for about 48 hours, we were freaking out.

We landed in Mexico on Wednesday morning, and headed to our resort about 45 minutes down the beach. We returned to the same place that we honeymooned 3 years prior, The Paradisus in Playa Del Carmen.  The resort was just as great as we remembered.  We had 5 days of pure relaxation and over indulgence, and it was every bit amazing as it was 3 years ago.  

I surprised T with a selfie stick for the trip.  I mainly chose to surprise him with it because if I told him about it before I purchased, he would have been fully against the idea. But, it was so convenient to have it with us at all times to take pictures without having to ask others for help.  Plus the novelty of it was just hilarious.

Now it's back to the real world.  My first week back from vacation was a doozy.  I rarely take an entire week off of work because recovering from that is so tough.   Today I think I'm finally back in the swing of things, but oh what I would give right now to be sipping a margarita by the pool.
