Paradise on the Riviera Maya

In January, we went to Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya in Mexico for Dave and Sarah's wedding. Dave is Matt's BFF, and was Matt's best man, so Matt returned the favor.

Dance party fun -- thanks to Marco for the idea for this pic :)

We found out that Jen Huffman's parents were gonna be in Playa del Carmen at the same time as us. Their resort was 3 doors down, so we met up one afternoon for drinks. What fun!

Jason, Summer, Dave, Sarah, Matt and I went on an excursion. It started with zip-lining through the jungle. Then we snorkeled in cenotes (underground water-filled caves) and repelled off a platform. Finally, we went to Tulum (Mayan ruins).

Matt and I stayed a few extra days after the "wedding week". We went up to Cancun, then drove out to Chichen Itza, which is the most famous Mayan ruin site.

This pic proves we were there :)

We've decided that a warm-weather vacation is a must during winter from now on. Hmm...where should we go next??
