nothing beats an escape from the cold chicago air, especially when it's an excursion to the beachy, breezy warmth of mexico. i'm a lucky gal, having had the opportunity to spend time on the beach twice in the past 4 months. spring break has rolled around and two of my friends & i decided to fly down to cancun, mexico, a country that none of us had previously been to. after a long, sleepless week of tough midterms//exams//tests, we were ready to relax and soak up some vitamin d on the sands of cancun.
we stayed at gran caribe real resort, an all-inclusive, which i honestly recommend if you're looking for a place to stay down there. it was perfect for us, and is only a 25 minute walk from downtown, where you can find the mexican markets & and the pulsing nightlife & nightclubs (you've got to check out señor frogs!).
all in all, it was a blast and gave us some much-needed relaxation.
here are some photos...
^^we're off!^^
^^a beautiful morning began with a round of yummy mimosas. cheers!^^
^^mmm, aren't sunsets just the loveliest??^^
^^the sun went to sleep, but we were ready to get up and go out.^^
^^filling up on breakfast at the beachfront restaurant.^^
^^if you want a fun & fruity drink in cancun, i recommend the electric lemonade.^^
^^señor frogs, thank you for one of the best nights ever.^^
^^a little glow party never hurt nobody.^^
^^another señor frogs outing.^^
^^last night in mexico :( we dressed up and opted for a fancy GNO and dinner.^^
^^a little beach yoga.^^
^^bye bye mexico, hello chi town.^^
beach, mexico, & warm weather, you will be missed. but chicago is being kind to us now and providing us with some pretty 50 degree weather, so i can't really complain. spring is around the corner for us all :)
wherever you are for spring break, i hope you get to enjoy some warm weather!
xoxo,
mg.
