Vacation Fun...

Ahhhh, we're back home. We spent the week in Cancun, Mexico. Our first time visiting there. It's beautiful. We went on an all-inclusive package, a first for us too. Let me tell you if you have kids, well this is the way to go. There was an endless supply of food and so many options. My kids never went hungry, and we didn't have to carry our wallets. Even at the pool they had an open buffet all day long. The weather was very nice, and my boys quickly made friends with the other kids at the pool. Hubby and I did a lot of relaxing by the pool with fruity drinks. A couple of evenings we took the local bus and went into the downtown shopping area, and we felt safe the entire time. The buses were mostly filled with tourists. A few snapshots of our week.

  6. Hi Rose,
    Just wanted to let you know that I have picked you and Penny, from Lavender Hill, as my second place winners. I decided to add a second place because there were so many good ones. I will do a painting with your title, Buttercup Manor soon and you will then get a card of that painting. Thanks!
    Hugs,

  8. Oh Rose! Can I just say....WOW! What a gorgeous place to holiday! It looks like you had a wonderful time there with your dear family, and that's terrific! I was talking to one of my cousins yesterday and she was telling me that her oldest son is heading to Cancun with some of his mates for 10 days. How exciting for them too! Glad you're back sweetie, I've missed you!
