Nate had a day off the first Monday of February so we decided to take advantage of the long weekend and take a trip! We planned this pretty last minute, and on a holiday weekend, so it wasn't the cheapest trip to Cancun, but it was worth it!
We flew out late Friday and got to Cancun around 1:00 am. Despite only being 2 hours south, stepping off the plane into the warm humid air felt amazing!
We stayed at the Emporio Hotel which was gorgeous. The rooms were beautiful. The next morning we wasted no time getting out into the sun. We got breakfast at the hotel restaurant, bought some sunscreen and sunglasses and were on our way to the beach.
We also wasted no time indulging in our fruity drinks. Lucky for us our hotel had a bar right on the beach. We spent the day going back and forth between the beach and the pool and it was the most amazing way to spend the day.
At the end of the day we got dinner at the hotel restaurant and called it a night because sitting in the sun all day is exhausting!
The next day we followed the same agenda but added in lunch by the pool and a ping pong tournament at the hotel that neither of us had a chance at winning. In fact, we were the first two out of the tournament.
We cut our evening by the pool short to shower and get ready to watch the Superbowl. Unfortunately, the game wasn't playing at our hotel so we walked across the street to watch the game at the Blue Gecko. We were thrilled to find that the game was in English, however, disappointed that the commercials were in Spanish. We met a couple there from Canada and had a great time watching the game with them. After a very uneventful game, many beers, some tequila and jello shots we called it a night before we flew back home the next day.
We can't wait to schedule our next weekend getaway! If you have any ideas or suggestions we'd be happy to hear them. In the meantime feel free to watch a little summary of our trip below!
