CANCUN!!!!!!

Welcome to the Moon Palace Resort in beautiful Cancun, Mexico! Every year Ned's company treats us to a fabulous all-expense-paid trip to someplace warm and wonderful. This year we opted to bring the kids (at our expense!) and are we glad we did! Banker's ALWAYS has an amazing "Welcome Dinner" when we arrive and this year was no exception. The kids were wowed by all the super fun things set up ocean side and posed for lots of pictures. Calista & Elijah especially like the carnival games. They were overwhelmed by the numerous buffet stations and had a great culinary experience roaming from station to station checking out the tasty fare.

Fire dancers dazzling the crowd...

Entertainment is always a priority and once again Banker's did not disappoint! There were fire dancers and a return by a Banker's favorite the group Then Again featuring Gina Glocksen. We had such a great time with them in Puerto Rico that they HAD to come to Mexico! Due to her new gig working for American Idol, Gina had barely made it in from Los Angeles for the Welcome night festivities before having to go on stage. After her first few songs she paused for hugs from and photos with her old Banker's friends and the girls couldn't wait to take a picture too!

It was great fun to catch up with "Mr. Bob" & "Miss Crystal" Birty from New Jersey and with the 1051 Gang from Ned's office who the kids do not get to see very often. After a few hours of laughter and dancing in the breezes of the Caribbean Sea, the kids were ready to turn in. It had been a long day of travel but what an exciting beginning to our vacation!
