For spring break we went to Cancun. No, not the crazy paryting part of Cancun, but the more family friendly area closer to Playa Del Carmen. Beautiful resort with loads of swimming pools and beautiful sandy beaches. We went with 3 other couples some of whom had children the same ages as ours. It really was a wonderful week long vacation. Very relaxing and entertaining for all of us.

What made my vacation one of the best ever is that I had a chance to do what I really wanted to do (for the most part). Not only did I have lots of pool time, quality time with my children, fun times with my friends, quiet time with my hubby, but I also had some quality time at the gym for myself. Yes, the gym during my vacation. Each morning I would get up early, get to the gym for a good cardio session and hang out at the spa area before getting showered and dressed (into a clean bathing suit) for the rest of the day. It felt fantastic!

The rest of the day was spent by the pool or the beach. Sipping my fruity beverage and eating poolside food without a care in the world for the calories I was consuming. It was as though I was in spa retreat with my family and friends. Thinking back now makes me want to do it all over again.
