Hello again, Beautiful!
I will be condensing my last two, full, days in Cancun into one post. Stick around a bit because I will include my Travel With Me video!
On Saturday, our third day, we put aside time for a photo shoot with trucker caps my sister specially had made. Other than the the birthday girl’s cap, which said “birthday girl”, our caps said “Cancun Crew”. Luckily the same person who took a few photos of us the first day fit us into his schedule for the shoot. We took the photos on this day and went to a Coco Bongo Show, which was pretty awesome.
Here are all the ladies in all black bathing suits. The photo shoot started out at the beach. I loved mostly the water on this side of Cancun; it was so blue and so clear. We did quite a few shots here.
We took a good amount of photos while in the water. This is me in the middle trying to splash everyone. There was a need for some fun during the photo shoot. I tried to get my sister, but as you will see I will be tripping and falling into the water. You’ll see it all unfold in the next few pictures.
My sister laughs and points. Although I tried to splash her with water, pointing is rude.
This was shot at the infinity pool at the resort. I’m the weirdly orange one to the far right. You can see our special made caps on. I actually love trucker caps so those hats were awesome. Thanks Laura (my other sister)!
I didn’t get a photo of us at the swim up bar but this is some of us after we swam back up. Like always, I am the odd one out…Anyway, you’ll see a snippet of the swim up bar in my video.
We had dinner at Azur which is another restaurant located in the hotel. It was a night to wear whatever we wanted. This is right next to the pools. They kind of messed up on our reservation so they placed us in the lounge chairs next to the pools. I guess I went a little crazy with my highlight, but I LOVE it!
Everyone was pretty tired at this point but we had tickets to Coco Bongo. I did a highlighted neutral look this night. I actually really like this dress I wore. I got it from Forever 21.
Here is the entire gang on the catamaran. We rented a private tour and boarded the Don Manuel of Albatross. Honestly, I was hoping to use the sails more but we were on a schedule. I was wearing a Forever 21 bathing suit under the Google T and jean shorts. The cap I was wearing was purchased at West Marine. I am also wearing Quay x Desi Sunglasses, “High Key”. These sunglasses are pretty popular. I love the flat and large frames. Unlike most sunglasses, they are a perfect fit for my square face shape.
We made a stop in the ocean to go snorkeling! These types of activities are so easy but so exciting. I love animals and I love exploring the sea. Of course it would have been nice to spend more time in the ocean exploring other areas on Isla Mujeres. I did expect to see stingrays and turtles but there were none in the area. 🙁 However, we saw beautiful fish and underwater statues which are shown in my video!
We got to Isla Mujeres after we went snorkeling. Our tour guide took us around a bit here to shop and explore.
We went to another area on Isla Mujeres to have lunch and they had a little area to visit these Nurse Sharks. I felt pretty badly for them to be in a little area all day but I’m hoping they feed them very well. They were so cute!
Also, there were other activities here! We hopped on the paddle boards and the kayaks. That’s my cousin Linda in the photo. I actually wanted to do so many activities that it slipped my mind to go around to look for souvenirs!
Then that night, we all had dinner at Hidden Garden in the hotel. It was a nice little area with dim lighting and beautiful outdoor decorations. This was absolutely not planned but my entire outfit including the shoes are all from Forever 21. Furthermore, I used my gold wallet (Neiman Marcus) as a clutch almost the entire trip. Everyone wore long dresses or skirts this night.
First, to start this story everyone was thinking about the buffet we had the first night we arrived. Second, they served very little portions of food here. We could have ordered more food but we were all already thinking about the food at Siete (the buffet) so we called it a night here at Hidden Garden. It’s really funny because only some of us went to the buffet and most of us didn’t get to it. I believe we had ordered more room service that night.
Actually, we had breakfast at Siete in the morning and it was just as delicious as the dinner there. That pretty wraps up the trip! Let me know if you enjoyed my journal-style posts and photos! I really enjoyed spending time sharing the details of my trip! Also, give me a heads up if you’d like to know how I packed, or what make up I packed!
Finally, please enjoy the video I have put together! If you like the content and would like to see more of the videos I will post, please subscribe and “like” the Travel With Me video. Thank you and until next week!
