Paradise

Despite our recent job frustrations Kimball and I are a couple of the luckiest people on earth for many reasons: a supportive family, great kids and the most present in my mind is the trip to Cancun my parents let us tag along on a couple weeks ago.

We had such a great time. We'd wake up and head out to the ocean right outside the hotel. After awhile we'd go eat by the water. Then to change things up we'd go get in the pool. That's how we spent most of our days while we were there. It was Heaven. Kimball and I are already daydreaming about the next beach vacation we hope to take. This time without the kids...its about time we had a real honeymoon.

We managed to tear ourselves away from the coast for a day to go see Chitza Nitza. It was incredible. They are these ruins built by the Mayans in about 200ad. The buildings are amazing, but I was blown away by the technology they had at the time and being able to see it all. I wont even try to explain it because I'd never do it justice and this would be a ridiculously long post. But what an experience! Its also one of the new seven wonders of the world; kind of a fun bonus to have checked one off the list.

I can't thank my parents enough for letting us come. It was my favorite vacation ever!

How fun!! I'm glad you went on vacation. After law school you guys deserve it! The pictures you took are awesome! I really like the ones on the beach. The one of Kimball and Jocilyn is my favorite...love it.
Also, I meant say this a few posts back but your little girl is oh so cute! I am in love with her long dark eyelashes and her hair is so cute.

Hooray for you guys! What a fabulous trip. Someday we'll have to hook up and do a "couples' trip" together in an exotic place like this! I loved the pictures -- amazing scenery!
