Mexico Recap

For the passed two days I’ve been doing load after load of laundry trying to get my life back into order after my vacation.  This is especially hard to do when you have no dryer and have to dry your clothes the old-school way, on a line.  The weather also wasn’t especially cooperative and a torrential downpour early this morning messed up my laundry plans for the day.  But enough about laundry…

My vacation to Mexico was great.  Munchkin and I had a great time in the pools and on the beach.  We stayed at the Grand Riviera Princess Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico which is about a half hour away from Cancun.

The resort itself was absolutely gorgeous, by far the nicest place I’ve ever stayed.  The grounds were cared for each day.  There were always a ton of workers cutting grass and tending to the plants.  There were also a million of different little private seating areas where you could sit and enjoy the evening.

The beach was really nice, but we didn’t spend much time there.  Alex loved the sand, but he also loved eating it which I found a bit distressing.  The water was shallow along the shore and you could walk out for what seemed forever with the water not going higher than your chest.  Then again I am super tall, so maybe this isn’t exactly objective.

I also woke up super early one morning to watch the sunrise with my boyfriend via Skype.  We were both super bummed that he could not be there with me, but we got to enjoy some time together even though we were thousands of miles away.

The food was great.  There are seven different sit down restaurants and two buffets in the resort.  It is all inclusive so you can eat and drink to your heart’s content.  We went to the Japanese, Mexican, Italian and Steakhouse.  All the food was really good and I am surprised I didn’t gain twenty pounds while I was there.  My favorite thing that I ate during the week was a Poblano Pepper stuffed with chicken and cheese in a spicy sauce.  It was totally not how I had imagined it when I read it in the menu, but it was soo good.  I also fell in love with Tres Leches Cake.  I must find a good bakery in New York to continue my love affair with this cake.

We spent most of our time by the pool.  Alex loved it because there were shallow areas where he could walk around and play by himself, without having to be held.  There was also a jacuzzi in the middle of the pool that we always went to which was very nice.

Even though I had a really good time, its nice to be home.  The weather in New York is a lot like it was in Mexico, hot! It was over 90 degrees today and I spend a good part of the day melting. Hope you all had a great holiday weekend and Happy Memorial Day!
