Cancun

A group of 8 which included Aaron, Jen, Jake and me went to Cancun for the week. The sun, sand, and Caribbean Ocean were amazing. I think I could live my whole life in vacation mode. Most days were spend relaxing either on the beach or at the pool and at night we would go out on the town for dinner.

One of the days down there we went to Tulum and Chichen Itza. We had a private tour with an LDS guide named Helaman. He knew so much about the scriptures and made the ruins come to life by comparing them to the people from The Book of Mormon and Bible. It was such an amazing and spiritual experience you could not help to have your testimony strengthened in the scriptures.

Another day we went XCarret which is considered a water park but was not what I consider a water park. It was still fun and had a lot to see. There is an underground river that you can float down in a life jacket and snorkel. The park also had many animals and birds, along with a butterfly farm, and a botanical garden. It also had water sports like snorkeling, scubbing, swimming with dolphins or sharks. At night they recreated some of the Mayan rituals and ceremonies.

We all agreed that this was an awesome trip and are already thinking of our next vacation.
