Dirty Thirty Couple's Trip: Playa del Carmen, Mexico

My best friend, Meredith, and I have celebrated our birthdays together for the past 10 years. I believe that this was our first joint birthday celebration.

Meredith and I were 20 and Scott was 22. 

We celebrated a few years in Fayetteville, and have celebrated the last 5 or so in Dallas.  Since we were turning the big 3-0 this year, we decided that we needed to celebrate in a big way!  After months of debating, we finally decided on a couple's trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.  Beau and I were joined by Brett and Meredith Hagedorn, Scott and Julia Woods, Mark and Jamie Hal-netts, and Carrie Debriyn and Paul (JT and SF).  The trip was AMAZING! 

 

 
 We stayed at The Royal, an all-inclusive resort. 

We spent most of our time laying out at either the beach or a pool close to our rooms.  We were a little nervous about the weather, but it was PERFECT!  It was warm and sunny every day. 

Julia could lay out all day every day!  She LOVES the sun. 

Beau, on the other hand, likes to stick to the shade after about a day of sunbathing.  

We had such a great trip! We talked and talked and talked!  The best part was that it seemed like not a minute had passed since the last time that we were together.  I absolutely love having friends like this!  I can go for months without seeing them, and we always pick right back up where we left off.  Beau and I are truly blessed with these amazing friendships!  Just a few other photos from the trip.......

"The Girls"  I love them!  We have such a great friendship that I truly cherish.  I can't wait to see them again.  We have traveled a lot together in the past, but this was our first trip together with all of our boys.  It was so fun! 

 

And of course, I always love traveling with my sweet, handsome husband.  We have such a good time together!
