Ma and Pa Hoppy Go to Mexico!

On Sunday, Keith and I left for a trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico...just the two of us! The resort where we are staying is called Valentin Imperial Maya. Although we hated to leave the girls behind, it's been very nice sitting by the beach, swimming, reading, listening to our iPods, watching movies and sleeping! More than anything, it's been nice to spend some quiet, thinking time, observing God's beautiful nature and worshipping Him.

The food here has been interesting! Because it's a 5 star resort, the food is "fancy." They give you very small portions of food with very strange sounding names! We've been to a steak restaurant called Tierra, and a french restaurant called "El Alsace". Very odd food but the apple tart for dessert was the best we've had.

Of course, not all is well with the girls...nothing ever flows just right! Rachel is missing us and Lauren has had fever. Hopefully everything will stay OK with Hannah! We miss you girls so much and can't wait to see you on Friday. Many thanks to the O'Leary's, the Smith's and Jordan Hammack for being with our girls.

Below you'll see some pictures from our first two days here - we'll include more later.

1 Day and Counting - WDW, here we come!

We can't believe it! We've talked about this trip for so many years and now it's finally here! Today is filled with washing and packing and, of course, Keith is at work! He's so excited, though, he took time to pack his things before he left for work yesterday. :)

This is truly a trip of a lifetime. I'm so glad that our girls are old enough that they'll remember this trip. Hopefully, they also have an appreciation of what it took for us to be able to take a trip of this magnitude. We're all grateful...
