Just Another Day in Paradise

Almost forgot to post this series of photos of our favorite 2 year old in Mexico. Looking forward to taking a vacation again someday that's actually relaxing!

Happiest Potty Trainee!

The Fun Continued After Dark

Dancing off the fish tacos at Casa Cenote restaurant.

Chocolate face

Chocolate toes


Daddy and George had post-dinner treats too...Cuban cigars. (Luckily, they were downwind from their domino opponents!)

Tulum Ruins


Iguana spotting. (Iguanas are to the Tulum ruins as pigeons are to Trafalgar Square!)






The ruins in Tulum were absolutely beautiful and right on the ocean. Unfortunately, it was about 150 degrees in the shade, so it was difficult to take many photos with sweaty, grumpy children hanging off of us.

Aaaaahhhh Akumal!

Fun at Casa Dena!


Our beautiful house in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Upstairs center balcony was Paul and Jackie's room...can't beat the view!



Willa was concerned about getting unsightly tan lines.

The entertainment at Casa Dena included many plays, ballets and fashion shows.

Chow time!

And we can't forget sweet Sasha, who we all wanted to steal from our wonderful housekeepers Daisy and Armando!

First Night in Tulum!

Sunday, August 15, 2010






We were so excited to get to our house in Tulum, which is in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The girls went to bed late and woke up in time to see this beautiful sunrise...much to Mom and Dad's chagrin.
