so much for the plan

The plan is to blog much more frequently. But it just doesn't pan out that way. Oh well! I suppose no one is sitting by their computers waiting very impatiently to hear what is going on over at the Charest House. Really, the day in and day out it isn't overly exciting!

Waking up far too early, wiping snotty noses and poopy bums, making snacks and meals, entertaining (and chasing)a very mobile 11 month old, playing Barbies on occasion w/ the toddler and unfortunately, reprimanding the seven year old far, far too often. Then we put them to bed and repeat it all the next day! All that monotony really does zip by faster than can be imagined.

So finally, more pictures, including our fabulous trip to Mexico. Start from the bottom....

And next thing you know...the week is done. Sigh. I miss those yummy drinks and food and the sleeping in and the pool and the sun and the reading and the relaxing...

I burned my bottom lip! Strange - just my lip, nothing else. So I wore that awful zinc on them so I could get some sun but not fry my lip. Yes, I got A LOT of funny looks!

I loved having my chai tea in the morning by the pool. Can you believe someone STOLE my mug? Seriously, you can afford to go on an all-inclusive but you can't afford the $10 mug at Starbucks?

Saturday we went to enjoy the spa (free!) with pools and hottubs and steamrooms...then a massage for me the next day.

We had a yummy beach BBQ one night...

How excited do you think I was to find not one, but TWO Starbucks in Playa del Carmen?!!!!

A lovely day on the beach...crucial to save spots w/ your towels if you want to get a good spot. This goes against every bone in my husbands body. Fortunately, he got over it.

Arrived safely in Cancun and rode the bus to our resort while we enjoyed a few cervezas.
