At the end of June David and I headed to Mexico for 5 days with friends. 2 of our very favorite couples from Boston were heading on a trip with 2 other couples and we decided to tag along. We weren't sure what to expect since we only knew 5 of the 8 people going (I had met one of the wives on a girls trip almost 2 years before and loved her but had not met her husband or the other couple). It truly could not have gone any better...so good that we hope to continue to travel with these 4 couples. We had so much in common with these couples while being so different. 3 of the 5 are from the Northeast /Midwest while the other 2 are from the South. We all have been married for 7 years or longer with 1-4 kids between us. We all love the Lord and love our children but enjoy some time away from the day to day tasks of being parents . We love to have a good time and be together with our friends while also taking time to just be the 2 of us. It was truly such a great time. Looking at these pictures makes me miss all of them so much!
We stayed at an All Inclusive Resort called Live Aqua in Cancun. We never left the resort because everything we needed was there. The food and drinks were delicious and the amenities were great.
Right when we arrived they gave us a hand massage and then handed us these drinks at the hotel bar/restaurant.
We then all changed into our suits and jumped in the pool.
We spent lots of time at the swing up bar.

The 3rd night our air wasn't working well so we switched rooms so this is the view from our 2nd room. Because of our issues with the air they comped us a couples 90 minute massage. It was heavenly!
Sallie was 7 months pregnant and having fun posing one night for us. She was such a trooper...it was so hot and she never complained.
The drinks were not strong so it was kind of fun to try things you would never try at home.
I truly love each one of these girls after the 5 days...sweet friends for life!
Love this one...the Lord truly blessed me when I moved to Boston and reconnected with Audra.
Chris and I had a great time laughing and poking fun at each other.

I spent a lot of time reading and enjoying the view.

They sat David and I at the longest table. We were laughing how far apart we seemed.
We told them we were there for our 11 year anniversary so one night when we came home they had all this set up.
It was a wonderful 5 days and I feel so blessed to have been a part of this precious group. Looking forward to our next trip together!
