There is no better day than throwback Thursday to do a
recap of our trip to Mexico last week! Tyler and I went to Riviera Maya with my
sorority mom, Danielle, and her boyfriend Chuck. We stayed at The Ocean Coral and Turquesa. I
would definitely recommend our resort ! We had never been to an all-inclusive
before and were very pleased with the atmosphere, food, drinks, etc. The resort
was gorgeous and the staff was great.
While
we were there we mainly just hung out on the beach and played sand volleyball
all day. What was crazy was that nobody on my team spoke the same language! It
was cool how everyone played together. We also had an intense bags (or corn
hole) tournament throughout the week. We ended tied 2-2... guess we better go
back to finish our game!
On
Tuesday, we went snorkeling! I have never been snorkeling before so I was
honestly kind of scared! We got picked up by a boat at our resort and they took
us to the middle of the ocean. We got to explore the ocean for over an hour
before being taken back to the resort. It was beautiful! I got over my fear as
soon as I got in the water. We saw a lot of different fish and coral reef.
Our
resort was all inclusive, so we got to eat and drink whatever we wanted all
week long. One of the bartenders made us all shots on our first day there
called" Shit on the Green Grass." The shot is made with midori
and (I think) kahlua. This pretty much became our staple for the week!
Another
fun thing our resort had was a hibachi restaurant where they cook the food
right in front of you. The food was delicious and our waiter, Miguel, put on a
great show. It was his birthday so we sang happy birthday (and made him take a
tequila shot)!
We
had so much fun on our trip just relaxing and enjoying the warm weather. It was
really hard to leave it on Friday! We wore shorts and flip flops on the plane
and definitely received some weird looks when we landed in Chicago for our
layover.
However,
the most exciting part of the whole trip was when Chuck proposed to Danielle!!
He proposed on Sunday when we got to the resort. Tyler knew about it in advance
but didn't tell me. I'm glad he didn't so I could freak out when Danielle went,
"Hey, look what Chuck got me! Chuck was the only who's bags were searched
at the airport. He was really nervous about it, and after he proposed I
understood why haha! Congrats again, you two! I love you guys :).
Mexico
was a blast and I cannot wait until our next vacation. Where to next?!

This trip sounds amazing! And how fun for Danielle! The pictures are awesome. We went snorkeling on vacation - it did not enjoy it! I was so expecting to - but I got so claustrophobic, which I have never gotten before. I wish I had enjoyed it more like you did!
