mexico in june

we totally went to mexico... 2 months ago.  

i'm just now getting around to posting about it.

the trip was amazing.

my dad organized everything-

think danny tanner from full house

when they went to disneyworld and he gave everyone an itinerary of what they would be doing (that's the same episode where dj imagines seeing her bf steve all over the park and where michelle got chosen to be princess of the day... remember?? )...

anyway,

pretty sure we have our own danny tanner

named trent bringhurst

and while there was no official itinerary, we were on a schedule everyday

up early most days (some 7am days), going here, there, and everywhere

but we're used to good old trent

and we loved everything he planned for us

and all the research he did

and we know had we planned our own vacation to the mayan riviera, we would have missed out on a lot

so, without further ado, i will start the first of many posts about our trip....

day 1:

we left june 9th on an extremely early flight (i think 6:30am?)

headed to phoenix and from there flew to cancun.

our gang was comprised of my mom and dad

older brother, 2 little sisters, 

my uncle bob,

and me and josh.

we were a very excited bunch.

after hours of traveling we finally arrived to the beautiful, sunny, and humid cancun.

an hour and a half later, we made it to our all-inclusive resort (about 15 mins south of playa del carmen).

my dad chose the barcelo mayan for us to stay at and the resort was phenomenal.

tiki huts, water fountains, greenery, flowers, cabanas, hammocks, etc.  

you name it, that place had it.

every detail was perfect right down to to the ash trays.

we felt like we were in paradise.

we wandered the grounds a bit, found our rooms, and got some grub (we were starrrrving)

then, my sisters, josh, and i decided to take a late night dip in the pool

and hung out on the hammocks and listened to the night creatures.

it was amazing and we had only been there for a few hours!

day 2 coming soon....
