Winter Break - Playa del Carmen

We had the good fortune of visiting Playa del Carmen with my parents. Our week was filled with swimming, napping, touring, and relaxing. I can confidently say that a good time was had by all.

Elizabeth had to check out all of the swimming pools at the resort. She wore a life vest and had lots of fun swimming on her own. Henry also loved the swim pools. On the last night, we did a tour of all four pools at the resort, excluding hot tubs.



We also took advantage of other amenities at the resort, such as hammocks, 
face painting at the activity center, 
the beach, 
snorkeling,
mini golf,
and restaurants.
Justin went on a tour of Chichen Itza, where he took way too many pictures of himself. I will save you from all but one.
Elizabeth talked with the locals in downtown Playa del Carmen,
and posed on the beautiful beach there.

We also met some Mayans
while visiting the ruins at Tulum.


The views from there were amazing.
As is this self portrait of Elizabeth.
We also went to an eco park called Aktunchen, where we walked through a cave
and got to see some animals.
Before flying back to NY, we compared the back of my dad's head to Henry's. It's not fully captured in this shot, but these two have the same head shape, hairline, and birth marks.
Henry checked out the airport in Cancun, 
Elizabeth posed with Snow White during our layover in Orlando, 
and then we all lived happily ever after.
