Jeff and I celebrated 10 years of marriage on October 21st! We decided a trip to Riviera Maya would be the perfect way to celebrate! We spent 4 days lounging, kayaking, snorkeling and relaxing at the beach. It was an incredible trip!
We stayed at Secrets Akumal, Riviera Maya. The reviews we read raved about the food and snorkeling and it didn't disappoint! We saw sea turtles the size of Keegan as well as angel fish, parrot fish, zebra fish and a sting ray. The Caribbean water was as beautiful as it appears in photos - blue from afar and crystal clear for snorkeling. We took a glass bottom kayak out for a while one day but we had better luck with snorkeling.
The resort was incredible! We had Italian, Mexican, Hibachi and steaks. We even tried octopus for lunch one day. The food was SO good.
We loved spending an hour at the spa after breakfast. We enjoyed the sauna, vapor room and hydrotherapy. We would head to the beach around 10 split our time between our beach chairs and the pool nearest to the beach. The view was perfect.
This was our walk from our room to the beach every day!
One of the iguanas we saw each morning....
And this was our favorite spot every day :)
We saw a couple of shows - a fire show and a rock show. They were really fun! We had a swim-out pool outside our room that we enjoyed the other nights.
It was really nice having the swim-out pool right outside the patio!
We walked to the shops of Akumal one afternoon for souvenirs for the kids.
Jeff proposed on the beach with memorized vows and a new wedding bands. It was such an amazing surprise. I'm so thankful for the last 10 years.
I'm so thankful for this man and for our marriage and so thankful for this celebration trip ;-)
