Honeymoon in Cancun

For our honeymoon we went to Cancun, Mexico. Thanks to Grandpa Benson for getting the hotel for us! We left on Saturday morning, but we didn't get to Cancun until that night because of time changes and our nice 5 hour layover in Miami. But once we got there it was really fun!


On Sunday we were going to go to church, and so before we left AZ we looked up the address for a ward and thought we were prepared. Sunday morning we took a little too long getting ready and didn't think we would be able to make it to the ward by 10, but we knew there was a different ward meeting at 12. So we got on the bus and tried to find the other building. Unfortunately, no bus driver or taxi driver knew where any Mormon churches were. So after two hours of riding the bus and asking around, we gave up and went back to the hotel. And actually the next day we were in a little shop and the cashier asked if we were lds, and when we told her about not being able to find a church she said there was only one that met in Cancun and it wasn't close to where we were looking. Oh well, maybe next time we can be a little bit better prepared :).

Most of the time we were there we just relaxed, shopped around, and hung out on the beach. But one of the days we decided to go on a tour of some Mayan ruins, Chichen Itza. It was so cool - it was basically a lamanite city, and a lot of the symbols and gods they had we recognized from the Book of Mormon.



Here are some other random pictures from the trip. We had a lot of fun, it was nice to have no responsibilities and nothing to worry about except for each other for a week!

Quinn loves Mexican Coca-Cola!

This was a mural on a wall inside one of the shopping malls. Just in case any of you were wondering about my stylin' outfit, I'm definitely wearing Quinn's clothes! Usually I tend to over-pack, but this time I definitely didn't bring enough!

Looks like you had fun! I totally like your stylin' outfit. That is fine that you copied the pictures onto your computer. If you would like, I can give you the pictures at a higher quality. I make them smaller for my blog so they load faster. I also took a few others than what was posted, so let me know if you want them, and I'll either send them to you on e-mail or the web or something, or I can arrange a time to get together with you to give them to you!

Quinn does love his Mexican Coca Cola, that is about all we heard about after he got home off his mission!! You didnt happen to bring him home any did you. It would save a lot of, "man that coke was better in Cancun comments then here in the US."
Looks like you had a blast though, glad to have you officially in the family!!!
