Cancun Paradise!!! (And a Few Too Many Euros)

So, we're back, we're alive, and we wish we were still in Cancun. We had a great time. We've put a lot of pictures in this one so that you can get a feel for what we enjoyed all week long. Heath and I couldn't have asked for anything better--except maybe a few more days down there. Hotel was outstanding. The service was outstanding. The sunburns hurt a bit, but it was all worth it.









My dad was nice enough to take us to the airport on Sunday morning. We got their with no problems. As usual, the security line was a little long, and since I'm a person with little patience, I started to get a little antsy.

The only hiccup began when we took off, got above Utah Lake, and something went wrong with the plane so we had to return to the airport. They made us change planes and it put is behind about 2 hours... I guess we're supposed to be thankful for safety?



While waiting for luggage, Heather's came right out, while I ended up waiting for one of the 2 last bags to come off the rack. I was really starting to get worked up as I had not packed ANY other clothes in my carry-on. To add on to my luck, I was lucky enough to get the random bag screening (pic on the right) at customs. They didn't start throwing my underwear around or anything and it was over pretty quick, so I guess I can't complain too much. After that, things went from hectic to perfect and relaxing.
You see us with our Pina Colada drinks. I think I had about a million and a half of these. Heath was better about getting hydrated with healthy water and stuff. I was on vacation, so I didn't worry about health.














We were lucky enough to go and swim with dolphins while we were down there. We got to do some fun stuff with them. It was a little scary, but I guess as long as you're not trying to cause a problem, the dolphins will always be nice. :)







We hit up a little mall in Cancun one night just to check out the city. The views were WAY better than the prices, so we whipped out the camera.

While Heath got the great pic, she tricked me in to the fountain pic...only to have the fountain shoot up 10 feet by surprise. Nice trick.


My wife is pretty :)

We went to visit some Mayan ruins. It's always nice to throw a little bit of culture in a trip. We had a good tour and a nice day overall- it was the day of our anniversary so we were just glad it went well.










Some people just don't when the right time to wear pants is. Here is a small tribute to those people.












Happy Anniversary!!!

BEACH FUN!! Here I am timing the wave coming at me.Here I am trying to be cool and act like I know what I'm doing.Here is I am wishing I hadn't tried to be cool. The sea was angry that day, my friends.


We couldn't say enought about our room. Each day was met with a new animal shaped towel. Gotta love the 'little things' that the hotel did.


The service was so good and we never had to worry about a single thing.











Our breakfast was delivered right to our room...








...for like 4 days in a row. Then we decided to switch it up.










We ate somemore at the Mexican restaurant.










Then I squoze in a few Pina Colada drinks.









And we tried the outdoor buffet. We were never disappointed.



It was a great trip. The best trips are the ones that you don't want to leave, and Heather and I truly did not want to come back home. We will definitely visit the Sun Palace Cancun again.

I second your bro's motion....for a minute I was like "Uh, Eric...Heath Ledger died a few months ago and he wasn't on vacation with you." Krykeeezzz!!! I can't believe you took a picture of that lady's butt. Also, I would never swim with dolphins because I'd be afraid of breaking their fins off. You want to go to Michigan with Sant, Tommy and I?

Eric, in response to your "My Wife is Pretty" picture in Cancun, i'm suggesting you retitle it to, "Smokin". (Rest assured there are no crazy stalker undertones to this comment.) Given your really great eyebrows, of which I've been quite fond of over the years, I always figured you marry a darling senorita. But as you two are now veterans, she is more of a Smokin' Hot Senora. Well done. And...Congratulations on your anniversary.
