Cancun, Mexico!

Thomas is very good at what he does and his company rewarded the winners of the Circle of Excellence Awards with trips to Cancun, Mexico this week. It was great fun to meet people from all over the nation. I made several new friends. Thank you, Thomas for working so hard. Congratulations! Legrand NA is a very good company and Thomas can sell the daylights out of some stuff!

We arrived in Cancun Tuesday afternoon at the Moon Palace, which is truly unbelievable. It is beautiful. Check out this pool, and if I'm not mistaken, this hotel boasts the largest pool in Mexico.I couldn't even get it in all the pictures.

This is John and Mary Waite. Thomas works with John down in Charlotte. We had a great time with them all week.

Check out the water. It's beautiful and so clear. And, while this is the very best resort in Cancun, we took an afternoon Friday to spend at a sister resort down the road just to see the water. Just wait.....

Two trips on the Hobie Cat! Oh, so much fun. We had never done this ever, ever, ever. We would have signed our life away here in the US, but there, they knew we had no experience whatsoever and still sent us on our way in a split second. They really were not worried about it. Captain Jeff took the lead.....

Before I show you pictures of turquoise water, check out our room.

Everything was marble. And because it was all-inclusive, check this out. This cracks me up. I didn't partake, at least not of this, but look.....

Free reign to this and whatever alcohol you could possibly think of! They even offered tequila at breakfast. I thought that was so funny and so funny to see how many people were drinking at 8 in the morning. I had a few drinks of choice.....my favorites.....frozen electric lemonade and frozen amaretto sours. Oh Dear!!!!!

The waitress brought one and Thomas brought one (electric lemonades). I hated to waste them, so....I didn't.

Here's the turquoise water. Oh my goodness, it looks like blueberry kool-aid.

High about this lovely water was the pool where Jeff and Amy Weir and Jim and Gloria Waddell hung out with us. We had so much fun. We played BINGO in the pool. Too bad Gloria didn't win, she'd have to 'GUACAMOLE, GUACAMOLE, GUACAMOLE'!!!! HE HE!

Better if that dance was left for Friday night, among other things!!! Oh by the way, Jim (in the middle) looks like Nicholas Sparks. Seriously. And, I didn't win so I did not get to GUACAMOLE!

Jeff and Amy; Jim and Gloria; us!

No pictures were taken Friday night at the beach party. Probably a good thing; but when ya'll see Thomas, let him tell you about me and Mr. DJ (who, by the way, looked a little like Mario Lopez, except taller). Not bad on the eyes! I got to dance my heart out. Thomas doesn't dance alot, but DJ Colby (Horatio is his real name) danced with me with Thomas' blessing, of course. Thomas just wanted me to get it out of my system. DJ referred to me as "Miss North Carolina" all evening. It was hilarious. He even let me help lead in some of the dances. So much fun.

But, the very best part of the trip.....

coming back home to the two sweetest girls in the world, Brookie's homemade chocolate fondue, and Nana (who had cooked fried chicken). We even had welcome signs on the door...homemade, no doubt. Now, that's a reward!!!!
