We spent five great nights in Playa Del Carmen last week. We had a wonderful vacation...maybe our last for many years with our growing family. Ethan stayed at home with Grandaddy and Grandmommy and had the best time! They went for many morning walks...which Ethan LOVED, spent some time at the mall, and eating out. Ethan was so worn out that when we got home, all it seemed that he wanted to do was nap.The trip was really great. We arrived in Playa Del Carmen around 9:30 pm on Saturday night. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant, and then retired to our room. It was so hot that I had to take a cold shower just to get to bed. We took Sunday to sight see and explore our hotel and the beach front.
Monday, we went to Xcaret, a sort of theme park with lots of activities and animals to see. We spent much of our time there walking to see everything. We did a 2 reef snorkel tour there and swam with some really large fish! We ended up seeing a large turtle swimming and swam with him for quite a while. During the evening, we went to the Xcaret Mexican show which was really entertaining!
Tuesday we were so tired from all the walking the previous day that we hung out at the hotel pool and beach. It was a relaxing day!
Wednesday we decided to go to Maroma Beach...which we were told was the prettiest beach in the area. We took a shuttle there and did another 2 reef snorkel tour. After we returned to the shore, we just had fun in the water and enjoyed the beautiful white sand.
Thursday we didn't have a whole lot of time because we had to be ready to go back to the airport at 2pm. We ended up buying some souvenirs and eating at a Mexican food place on 5th Ave. It was probably some of the best tex-mex nachos we have had...it felt good that we were almost home. We got to the airport and waited a while. Evidently, our plane was there but our pilot was not. We didn't get home in time to see Ethan off to bed...but we had a great time on our vacation.
