Mexico pt. 3 --- vacation relaxation

Since we booked our trip in February, the theme of anticiaption has been based on the Zac Brown Band song "Toes in the Water, A** in the Sand". So we decided that we definitely needed an official picture to represent our trip...
Our favorite evening place to hang out became The Piano Bar. Alot of the resort was "party scene" style and the four of us much preferred the quieter, more laid back atmosphere here.
And we even brought along Uno and played cards one evening.
Enjoying coffee and room service breakfast on our patio.
I have to share this dish. One night we tried the French restaurant and this was the soup of the day...cream of something with "corn fungus". It actually tasted pretty good, but as far as marketing goes, major fail on the title.
FAVORITE dish dinner from the next night...SUSHI!!!!
These covered bed thingies were THE BEST! We spent quite a bit of time just doing absolutely NOTHING (read...napping!), enjoying the shade and the breeze down by the pool.
And our bar tender down at our private pool made this to-die-for drink called Purple Rain...oooooh yum!!
Our last night there the resort threw a fancy dinner gala for only the two top levels of guests (we were level #1...soooo worth what we paid for it!). One last pose all four of us!!
The guys' favorite part of the dinner were these get-ya-in-trouble-in-a-hurry chocolate martinis (seriously, have you ever seen this many martinis before lol?!) My favorite part that I didn't get a picture of were the lobsters...ask me how many I ate at dinner that night? Four, yup I ate FOUR delicious lobsters!!
And I'll wrap up with these last two funny pics. We were walking down the main pathway one evening headed back to our room and suddenly Joshua hops up on one of the statues and struck a hilarious pose!!
And may I introduce you to Bob. He lived under Brad and Jamie's stairs that led up to their room and would come out to sunbathe in front of the bottom step. It was amazing to see such a creature just hangin' around the resort...but let me tell you he scared all of us many times when we'd come around the corner to head up to their room and we'd darn near step on the poor guy because we'd forgotten he might be there.
Brad and Jamie...thank you for coming with us to Mexico! It was soooo much more fun this time to have wonderful friends to share our adventures with! And Joshua, I sooo appreciate all of the crazy hard work you put in that allowed us to afford such an amazing vacation! You are the best husband anyone could ask for and the five days we got to spend doing nothing but focusing on each other meant more to me than I'll ever be able to properly say. I love you!!!
