After a few hours of sleep, we woke up on our first day just before the sun came up. The sight was amazing, and despite a long trip and just a few hours of rest, we were eager to get started on our day.
For the first part of our trip we stayed at the very end of the hotel zone (la Zona Hotelera) which is really an island shaped like a “7″ stretching east, and then south, from downtown Cancun. Most of the action is in the “elbow” of the island, and our hotel was tucked in tranquility in the perfect spot at the base of the 7. We spent a lot of time enjoying the beach and generally relaxing at the hotel (which is not really typical for us as we tend to enjoy buzzing around a bit more) and loved every minute of it. Aside from the relaxation, we toured around the island a bit by bus and even made it into downtown. Click on the image above, or here, to see the photos.

We loved your pictures! They were so beautiful, the pictures of Caleb sleeping on Mommy’s lap on the plane and him sitting on her lap reading at the airport were so precious they brought tears to my eyes. Kajal loved seeing Caleb on the beach. This blog is amazing! Thank you for sharing with us.
Hey Lisa and Kajal! I think Caleb’s favorite photos are probably of him “surfing” (we took a few videos, but unfortunately I accidentally set the movie size too small so you can’t really see much — he would stand in the waves and slap the caps as they crashed around him, sunglasses, board shorts and surf shirt dutifully adorned!).
As an aside, I’ve been enjoying reading about about your family experiences too. Seeing one of Kajal’s recent drawings made me really excited for the 5, 6, and 7-year old phases Caleb will go through!
