In December of 2007 the family headed off to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for 10 days of pure paradise. Playa del Carmen is on the mainland of Mexico, across from the island of Cozumel. The beaches were a bit sparse due to the hurricane that had just hit a few months earlier, but it didn't affect our fun.
It was an awesome trip and I don't think we could have fit anymore activities into the 10 days. The boys went deep sea fishing catching a Mahi Mahi and an Ono. Afterwards, we went next door to a local beach front restaurant and they cooked the fish up for us. They were delicious and Mom didn't have to clean them at all!!
The kids and mom went swimming with the dolphins (dad had to film). Alisa squealed happily every time she got close to one of the dolphins. We also went to the ruins, which didn't last too long. Two 9 year-olds and ancient history just don't get along. We were also able to fit in some parasailing and snorkeling.
Oh, that's right, and golfing was included in the trip. I believe 3 rounds of golf were played during the trip. One of the golf courses the boys played was Mayakoba, a Greg Norman design and the home of the FedEx Cup. There were iguana's all over the golf course, plus a couple of alligators. We stayed away from them and took pictures from afar.
The kids were catered to at the resort (Occidental Allegro). They had activities for the kids everyday; from kayak races in the pool to dancing lessons on the deck. The resort photographers loved them and we ended up purchasing two discs of pictures.
It will definately be a vacation to remember.
