Time to blog about our "relax-cation," Mexico style. Mikey is the Chamber of Commerce representative for Carolina First Bank, the chamber pays for all of their sponsors to go on a trip every year as a thank you to them for raising money for the chamber. Mikey is the chamber rep = a FREE trip to Mexico for us! Pretty good deal, huh!?!
As we left Columbia bright and early...(well, not so bright considering it was 5 am and FREEZING outside) Wednesday morning...there was still lots of snow and ice on the ground. I was hoping for really warm weather and a beautiful sunshine the whole time we were in Mexico...unfortunately, that didn't happen:(. The weather just didn't cooperate with us. It was cloudy and windy most of time, with the sun making a debut every once in a while. We did get to sit out by the pool for a few hours Saturday and enjoy a little bit of sunshine, so not all was a lost cause. Not much you can do though, and I wasn't going to complain, considering it was FREE and all.
We still had a wonderful vacation though...spent lots of time sleeping, reading, ate lots of yummy food, met some new friends, enjoyed some cocktails, and spent a half day at the spa...not too shabby. Seriously, the spa was the bomb. We had a couples massage and spent the first 4 hours in the "hydrotherapy circuit." It was for real amazeballs. Sauna to cold shower to steam room to cold pool back to hot tub...you get the point. It was heaven on earth.
Anyways, here are some of our pictures from the trip.
Night 1
Dinner w. other chamber peeps. (and my best friend Courtney, that was an added bonus to the trip!)
the bar.
Some other night...
and another...(can you tell i have a "side" and we clearly have a "pose." ha!)
Columbia group. Part of us, i think there were 50 people who went total.
Resort, Secrets Capri.
beach...see the clouds, sad face.
a ray of sunshine! yay!
Have a great day!
