Viva Mexico!

We spent a fabulously decadent 9 nights on the Riviera Maya in Mexico.  After our great experience at the Dreams resort in Puerto Vallarta I was thrilled that we were able to find a decent deal at their newest resort just south of Cancun - Dreams Riviera Maya - all inclusive.  It just opened in the fall of 2009 so everything was brand spanking new, and it really was beautiful.
To add to the perfection we were able to convince Grandma Gail and Nana to come for 5 nights while we were there and so we got some family time in as well as a lovely holiday.  This was also the first time Nana got to meet Liam, so it really was special.  Our days consisted of nothing more taxing that figuring out where we wanted to eat for each meal, and when to order our first frozen drink.  We sat, lay and swam our way through the days!  We have a million photos so I will try and pick out as few as I can to give a sense of the trip without overdoing it!
James and Liam chilling out when we first arrived in our room.  We did have a crib for him as well.
Our most challenging task was to secure a pallapa (or bali bed) at the start of every morning.  Thanks to Liam being an early bird that was no problem!
James and Liam enjoying the infinity pool.  Liam really had a good time in the water!
Probably my favorite photo - my two boys on the beach
Taking Liam into the sea for the first time
Grandma Gail and Liam reunited and happy to see each other!
Liam passed out for a nap while we had lunch at the restaurant right near our pallapa
A perfect moment
Liam loved meeting his Great Grandma!
Grandma Gail taking Liam in the pool for a swim - the sun was a bit strong at this time so he's wearing a T-shirt and hat to protect that fair skin of his
