Our Mexican Siesta (Part 1)

A few months ago Toren and I realized that our lives were soon going to change forever (in a good way, of course). With this realization came a strong desire to do something crazy and spontaneous. Since I wanted to spend our adventure doing not much more than relaxing and eating and Toren was itching to go Scuba Diving, we really had only one option: vacation to Mexico!

So I spent 75% of last week lounging in a beach chair and I couldn't have been happier.

On the first day we did get a little sunburned. I blame mine on my weird pregnant skin because it was so blotchy and almost more like a heat rash. Anyway, after the first day I spent a little bit more time in the shade.

Toren went diving right off of the beach our resort was on. Here he is prepped and ready.
Heading out to the deep.

After-Scuba feast. Thank you room service!

One afternoon we drove down to the Tulum Ruins.



The Ruins are right along the water and the view of the Caribbean was amazing.

After a couple hours of climbing and walking I was desperate to reclaim my beach chair...

We invited our good friends Jason and Kristin to come with us. It was nice to have someone for Toren to play with and someone for me to lay on the beach. But, as I'm sure you can imagine, the guys were up to their usual stunts...
