Mexico trip

On Feb. 27th we left Rochester to embark on a vacation to the Riveria Maya area in Mexico for a whole week. We had the opportunity to travel with some close friends from church; Chris, Karyn, and Josef Grenz and a babysitter, Lindsey Salfer. Our travel went well overall. We had a little trouble with checking in, only to later find out that the airline had made a mistake. Oh well, we made it safely. Once we were in Cancun, we rented cars and drove to Playa Del Carmen. We went grocery shopping at none other than the Super Wal-Mart there. It was quite the experience trying to figure out what everything was, but we did well. Then we drove to the Villa Gummerson in Akumal. It was a great place to stay, as you will see from the pictures.
We took way too many pictures to post, but it gives you an idea of our trip. We had a wonderful time!!

She just loved being in the sun.

We went here for Andy's 30th birthday. It was very fresh and great food. The salsa definitely had a kick to it. Good thing that new baby does not mind spicy foods.

During the day for Andy's birthday, we went to Hidden Worlds. It was a day of adventures. They had ziplines, sky cycles, cenotes, monkeys, and many other things in the middle of the jungle. We had a great day.

We even took Hannah in the Cenote, but she did not last long. It was very cold even with a wet suit on.

Our little adventure girl

Here we are going into the cave or the cenote. It was really neat to see the different rock formations.

Here Hannah is going down the Zipline with Daddy.

They were just a blur when they came down at the end.

Here we are on the sky cycle. We rode through the jungle.

Hannah wore herself out on the sky cycle. We could not wake her for anything.

On one of the days Chris, Andy, and I went to Coba to see some Mayan Ruins. It is the only place that you can still climb to the top of one of the Ruins. It was quite the hike, but worth it!! While we were there we rented bikes to get around the place. It was nice to get around quickly, but they were not the most padded bike seats :)

Here is from the bottom looking up to where we climbed.

There was a kayak at the place where we stayed that we could take out anytime we wanted to. We took Hannah out with us a couple of times. She did great.

She managed to fall asleep on our kayak ride. Hannah became very good at being able to sleep almost any where during our trip.

Chris, Karyn, Andy, and I went to Playa Del Carmen for a night on the town. You never know what kind of transportation that you may find.
While we were in Playa, we ate at a very good Argentina Steakhouse. We definitely ate well during this trip. We had a couple nights that we had a private chef come to the house to cook us dinner. The other nights we ate very well at different restaurants.

Just a cute picture of Hannah!

and another one.

Andy and I went out on a date the last night that we were there.





The Villa from the Ocean Side

Here is the private pool that was in front of the Villa. It was a little too chilly.

Here is the view from our bedroom.

Gymnastics class

In January, Hannah took her first gymnastics classes. It was a four week class at JETS gymnastics. She really enjoyed it. She definitely learned new things and improved in the four week time period. We will have to sign her up again this summer when she is a little older. I think that she will enjoy it even more.
