Cancun....I love warm weather!

I know a lot of you have been asking about our honeymoon... Here is just a few pictures to show you how much fun we had. It was so great to have time with just us two, no cellphones, no work, no computers, no family (as much as I love you guys), no friends, no one to tell us what to do or where to go, and best of all no more wedding plans! I keep telling people if you can make it past the engagement then they are set.

 Our first night we stayed at the Hilton, not to be confused with Hilton that is downtown in Salt Lake. It took us a minute to find the right hotel but we eventually found it. This is us the next morning at 4 a.m. getting ready to catch our flight. It was going to be a long day....

 It was worth it once we got to the hotel. We were VIP guests and our room was on the 12th floor. It was so much fun. This is a view from our room. We could see all the rooms and all the restaurants, no need to wait in lines, we could see if there was a wait no need to go downstairs to check. The name of our hotel was the Great Parnassnus and there was a lot to do everyday. The best part about it was it was right on the beach, perfect place to relax.

 Our first activity was mini golf. Don't worry Spencer beat me as usual. He loves his golf but it was really fun! Good news is I only lost by 3 strokes. We decided to play the course backwards to make it go a little faster with all the other people that decided to play at the same time as us. My favorite one was the one with the lighthouse but Spencer ended up getting a hole in one instead of me. Well I guess at least some one did right?

 The most romantic part of our Honeymoon, besides the fact that we were in Cancun all alone, was the dinner that was brought to our room. Room service but better. We had our own waiter to bring us whatever we wanted. They decorated our whole room with real rose pedals and put them all over the floor. My first time ever walking on rose pedals. I loved it. But I think the thing that made the night something that I will never forget is when we told the waiter that we don't drink wine and we would rather just have Pepsi. Then once he left the room to get our salads Spencer opened the fridge and a bottle of wine fell out of it and broke all over the floor. Then it was a race to clean it up before he came back. Don't worry we got done way before he got there and he had no idea. My thinking is one less bottle of wine that other people have to drink. Oops!

Our first adventure was para sailing. It was my first time ever and I never really thought it looked that cool but it was way fun. One of the best parts was going out on the wave runner with the Mexican going as fast as he could. He was loving the big waves and getting us all wet. When we got all the way up we were able to see pretty far down hotel row. If you ever get the chance to do this I would take the offer.

This was right below our hotel, one of the prettiest days on the trip, nice and sunny!

Our next adventure takes us to this island. I don't know how to say it in Spanish but I like to translate it to the "woman island" It you look at this picture sideways you will see that she has a head and legs and her arms are out in front of her. Kind of cool right? We spent a whole day here doing all kinds of fun things while we were waiting to swim with the dolphins. We went on a zip line that went over the ocean. (Don't worry my brake decided not to work and I ran straight into the boy that was trying to help me. He kept telling me to pull down on the brake, I was but it wasn't working. The first thing that he said to me was hey beautiful! I think that is all that they know to call women. Then we went snorkeling, laid out on the beach and in hammocks, and went on a bike tour. If you ask Spencer about it, it was a bike ride because it only lasted about 5 minutes. haha.

This is us on the very tip of her head. It keeps breaking off more and more every year. In a few years this part of the island won't even exist.

          The best part of the island was swimming with the dolphins. We got to kiss, play ball, get pulled by their fins, and get pushed on a  buggie board by them. Who knew that dolphins were so strong and smart? Spencer even got to play with the baby dolphin that they were training for a little while. Just by doing some simple hand motions they know exactly what to do. This was for sure the highlight of the trip!

This was a funny story. We were looking at all the restaurants at the hotel and we came across this one. Who knew that we would still be able to find Germany in Cancun. We knew that we had to get a picture because we couldn't order anything there, too bad it wasn't a real restaurant but what can you expect it's Germany they love their beer.

Okay here is the chicken story that you are all dying to hear about. So we went to a cirque show that was put on by our hotel. They wanted to start out with something to get everyone excited, the announcer asked for three big white men to come and help him. Spencer was the first and only one to raise his hand, he was a little excited because we hadn't been able to participate in the drinking games all day, finally something he could do. When he got up there, he then found out that he would have to pretend to be a chicken and take his little brother (a lime) back to the nest. The goal was to hold a lime in between your knees while making chicken noises and get it to land in this cup and have it stay there. Two out of the three men were able to do it, Spencer and the guy from Mexico. Now it was time for a dance off. If any of you know Spencer he will tell you how much he loves to dance.......here is the sweet video! Oh right, and Spencer did end up winning and got a sweet T-shirt! He loves his shirts from trips so I am sure that he will be wearing it a lot.

This was a boat tour that we got for free through the hotel. It was part of being VIP for the week. We had no idea what it was when we signed up for it. We said a free tour? Why not? It actually ended up being really fun and we talked to some interesting people, one of them even had a tattoo of a German flag. That is always a good way to start a conversation! After we got back from the tour we took turns making each other mermaids in the sand. That is a must when you got to the beach! 

We finished out the trip eating breakfast at the nicest restaurant in the hotel. It was on the 10th floor and they only served food in the morning because you can see the beach really good through the windows. You can kind of see in the picture on the right. The nice little waiter even brought me a flower to put in my hair.

Last day at the hotel, just waiting for the shuttle.

We had a great time in Cancun and it was so nice not to worry about anything. We just had time to spend with each other and we never had to say goodbye, we were together all day, everyday! I love Spencer so much and can't wait for the many adventures that we will have together.
