Oh Mexico! Part 1

If I was to sum up our trip with one picture, it would be this one...

 

There were many (many) tasty drinks to be had which is the biggest perk of going to an "all inclusive". However, by the time we got home I decided it would be a good idea to give up booze for lent (we will just ignore the fact this didn't go into effect until Friday) because even looking at a bottle of booze pretty much made my stomach turn. I would say that means our trip was a success!

(From our balcony right after we checked in!)

On the first night we arrived, we started a great tradition of the whole group meeting up for dinner. This allowed for everyone to do what they wanted during the day but it brought everyone back together at night.

 

And being that this was the first night everyone was there (Saturday), we were going to do it up right.

 

We did some roaming of the resort and end up at a "chill bar" listening to some live music.

 
 

The next morning (ok, maybe it was more like early afternoon- like I said we were doing it up right) we made it down to beach to work on our "Mexican glow".

 

Once I was officially cooked, it was time to cool off with frosty blended drink. Miami Vice's are just so tasty. 


After some R&R back at the room, we were ready to head out for our first "formal" dinner.


Being that we were such a large group, we only got a limited menu to pick from, but the food didn't disappoint and our server Miguel made us a special flaming dessert.


After dinner we where off to continue the fun which included some shots, salsa dancing, and it ended with EJ and I getting a whole bucket of water dumped on us... a server was trying to fill a machine, he slipped off the ladder he was standing on and the bucket of water he was holding came down on us. At least it was just water and no one was hurt- I call that a win!

 
Oh- lets not forget about our 10 person selfie from that night! Great work Casey! It was a great start to an awesome trip.
