The first of September Greg and I went to Riveria Maya, Mexico. It was our first trip (and probably the last for a long time) without Nicole, and even though we missed her tons, it was so nice to get away. My sister Kami was such a sweetheart to volunteer to take Nicole so we could go somewhere. Kami decided now was the only time since we both want to have another baby soon (we'll have to see how that works out since it's much easier said than done with our history). We ended up leaving 2 days after our 7 year anniversary, so even though it wasn't planned as an anniversary trip, we counted it as one. Everyone there was on a honeymoon, so we had to fit in somehow! :)



We were gone for five days, one day each to get there and get back, so we only had three days at our all-inclusive resort. We planned the trip to be relaxing and do nothing but swim, sit on the beach, and drink pina coladas. Well, anyone that knows me well knows that kind of plan does work out! I have ants in my pants and I want adventure!! Greg and I NEEDED the relaxation, but instead opted out (still don't know if that was the best idea). Our first day there we did relax and swim and eat..not much more. But the second day we went repelling, went on a zip line, went hiking and kayaking. Then we swam in a huge underground grave and then climbed up the tallest Mayan ruin in Coba (near Cancun). It was amazing!!!! Our third day we went and explored ChichenItza, the largest discovered/restored Mayan town in the Yucatan and went swimming in another cave/sinkhole. We were exhuasted by the time it came to head home, but we had some great adventures and great memories!
