we have been from our beach vacation for a week and a half.i want to go back.
we spent a glorious week at the sandos playacar all-inclusive resort
outside of playa del carmen, mexico.
the vacation was our reward for finishing the first 3 baby steps in dave ramsey’s total money makeover. we are debt free and have an emergency fund of 3 months expenses. it was a difficult 9 month journey to get here, but we are so grateful to be financially free.
here’s a lovely little church in playa del carmen.
there were shows and live bands at the resort every night.
we ate waaaay too much, including these sweet treats.i gained literally a pound per day.
these gorgeous orange flowers were everywhere.
aren’t they beautiful?! i love them.laura over at gringation cancun is always posting pics of these trees.
the beach was rough the first few days with winds leftover from hurricane alex. things calmed down at the end of the week, and the water was perfect.
this was my first experience with an all-inclusive resort, and i loved it. it made everything so simple and affordable. we didn’t have to worry about making frugal decisions at every meal, and the overall price was really great. the resort really had everything we needed.
i’ll post more about the vacation later, i’m sure.playa del carmen has now been added my list of favorite destinations.
here are a few others:

navarre beach, florida
barcelona, spain

charleston, south carolina

petit jean state park, morrilton, arkansas
