Cancun

We thought we were going to get to go to China with Randy's work in February, but it was cancelled, so we spent time relaxing at the Royal Solaris Resort down in Cancun instead. Typically Randy and I like active vacations, but being 7 months pregnant, and having 22 month old James, a little R &R in the sun sounded perfect.
To be honest the magic of too much relaxing, and eating (it was all you can eat and drink), wore off after a few days, but it really was a great time. James spent the whole week in smiles, galloping or dancing around, singing the chorus of old MacDonald ( eeii eeii ooh) over and over. I think he really enjoyed having both of his parents around and a resort full of adults flirting with him. I've never seen him so outgoing or friendly. He danced for or raised eye brows to every adult he could make eye contact with. He really enjoyed swimming (for the first time ever) as well.
The Mexican staff at the resort were really sweet. Every person who passed would try and pick him up or rub his head or shoulder each time they passed. I pretty sure James thought he was a super star.
We spent 6 nights there. Highlights for me were an evening show of Mexican dance, which included a lasso dance/ show done to the live Mariachi Band. It was really impressive. We also rented a car for cheap and drove to Chichin itza. About a quarter mile down the beach was a nice snorkeling spot and calm water, so that was a faorite spot as well. Mostly it was just great to enjoy the sunshine and each other for so long.

 I have videos of climbing the main pyramid at Chichin-itza when I was 3 years old. You can no longer climb it.  I guess an American fell off and died 4 years ago so they blocked it off.

There was a fun kids pool at the resort for James to enjoy.

At the Cancun Airport there was a golf demo area for kids. Not bad form, we'll have to work on the aim though if he's going to be our early retirement.
