We went on a babymoon!
During our Christmas break we went to Cancun, Mexico.
Possibly, a final hurrah from my wild traveling days.
I've always wanted to take an international trip with my husband, and it didn't disappoint.
We went on a tour of Chichen Itza with a LDS tour company named Helaman Tours.
Our tour guide was Helaman's son, Nephi.
It was great to learn about these amazing sites from an LDS perspective and to see what some of the things mentioned in the Book of Mormon could've looked liked! We would definitely recommend the Helaman Tours!
They also took us on a tour of Tulum ruins, they were beautiful!
Mainly because they were beachside...
Here are some more of my favorite pics from that day...
Everywhere around Chichen Itza they sold they crazy jaguar whistles.
They sounded just like a jaguar (or at least what I think a jaguar would sound like).
It was hilarious {and slightly annoying} but mainly hilarious, I had to get a picture!
We also went to this really cool ecological park called Xcaret. It was referred to us by many people, and it definitely didn't disappoint. It was amazing!
We swam in underground rivers, snorkeled in natural pools and learned a ton about Mexican history and culture. Definitely a highlight of the trip!
And of course, the animals
But the history was probably or most favorite part!
During the night show (a must do) we were surrounded by natives of Mexico, it was so fun to see their excitement and pride over different parts of the show!
We spent 9 days there, and those were our two main events.
The rest of the trip was spent...
Doing this...
A lot of this...
(We stayed at an all inclusive resort...so lots of both were offered!)
We rented bikes a couple of times...
We went to church...everyone was so welcoming!
And we did a lot of this...
It was such a great trip! Nice and relaxing with a lot of fun mixed in.
We loved the random animals (iguanas, racoons, ring-tail cats) around our place!
I think it was suppose to put an end to traveling for a while, but it just made me want to do more! :)
Oops!
