Last week Brad and I escaped El Paso to go on a little getaway to Cancun, Mexico.  It was time for a “break from life”…where we could spend lots of quality time together, especially since baby will be here in only eight weeks! We stayed at GR Caribe by Solaris.  The resort itself was lovely on the inside and outside.  I loved the decor, which was a mix of old-style Mexican hacienda mixed with a contemporary color scheme of bright whites, chocolate brown and a punch of red.  However, the resort boasts a 4-star rating, whereas I would only give it a 3.  Boooo.  But that’s okay.  I went there for the beach and to be with my husband, so my travel goals were accomplished.

Here are some photos from our trip!  …We wanted to be as close to the airport as possible, so we stayed in the “hotel zone,” which gave us a very quick 10-minute ride to our resort…even faster depending on how daring and crazy your driver is!  …Beach as far as the eye can see…

Stucco, palm trees, a very firm but pretty bed and the cutest breakfast nook!

Me and my sweets around the resort…

I love this man so much…

It’s always nice to get away, but there’s nothing like sleeping in your own bed!
