It took awhile, but I think I’ve managed to narrow down my favorites from our trip to Mexico. :) There’s still a lot…just a warning. :)

Welcome to Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun!!

That beautiful romantic-esque building was one of our favorite places to eat. Amazing fajitas.

See that path towards to resort? That’s the one Paulie and I took when we found out it was super close to our room. :)

This is a rare occurrence. There were never any blue floaties available. It’s because there is a storm brewing…

Another lovely path that leads even closer to our room! We didn’t discover this until the end of our trip…:(

It was like clockwork. Everyday around 3pm, the winds picked up, the skies went dark, and everyone went scrambling for shelter.

This is as “fall” as it gets.

Beautiful inside and out.

Welcome to our home away from home!

Our maids were just lovely. Everyday we had new towel friends. :)

Poor Paul – his slippers didn’t fit him. More for me!

Those eyes. My goodness.

The bathroom was just amazing. That bathtub needs to be in our house soon. Jets, arm rests…my book and I couldn’t have been happier.

Just me!

When Paul napped, I tried to write. Sometimes with a colorful drink by my side.

So lucky to have had this view!

Okay, enough of our room. Back to the storm. Just follow the grey brick road.

When normal people run away from the storm, Paul and I run towards it.

This guy’s job was 24/7. So much seaweed!

So intimidating, but it only lasts about 20 minutes. 

I might love Paulie even more after seeing this photo of me. All of my favorite things rolled into one photo (except Rusty and my tea).

I’m sure people were starting to stare when I tried to croon with the birds.

And when the rain finally hits, we go get food…

And the storm has already gone!

On our anniversary, Wednesday, we got all dolled up at night, had a table reserved on the pool side for the resort’s water acrobatic show, and shopped for art at the vendors’ tables. We bought 4 coaster size paintings and one larger print (all gorgeous and hand-painted right in front of us). We had prime seats – everything was right in front of us, including this wonderful jazz player, playing in the middle of the pool!

This whole show was absolutely amazing!

At night, the resort is breathtaking.

I vowed I would wake up to watch the sunrise. On Thursday morning (Paul and I were accidentally given tap water at the outdoor dining show so he was already sick and I was in the beginning stages – so thankful I wasn’t too sick to see this!), I woke up to this. I grabbed my camera, lenses, diary, and ran for the beach. 

See my little pile of goodies? That was my spot.

I wasn’t the only one!

And then it started cracking like an egg through the clouds. Amazing.

I know, I’m corny. :)

The people in the water asked another person to take their photo – sneaky me got a photo of a photo being taken. ;)

And it was time for me to go back in.

Unfortunately after that morning, we were both out for the count for the rest of our trip. That entire rest of the day was devoted to drinking as much water (bottled) and getting as much rest as we could. We watched a bunch of movies (Dumb & Dumber 2, The Kid – quality movies :)), and as weird as it sounds we still had a great time just being together, cocooned in our hotel room, taking care of each other. :) Needless to say, Friday (our departure day) was a loooong day. Delayed flights, missed connecting flights, being sick, long lines – not so much fun. But, we made it! And we were so grateful to be home, cuddling with Rusty on our couch, cocooned from the cold autumn night. :)

I hope you enjoyed the photos, friends!! Happy Friday, friends! xoxoxo
