Playa Del Carmen, waiting for the tour bus to Tulum to explore the Mayan ruins there.

Chelsea is explaining to this giraffe, that she has been really good all year, and there is no reason why she should not get lots of nice Christmas presents.

Chelsea is explaining to Celeste how to eat tacos. Celeste is listening politely, as she enjoys her meal.

This is a nice picture of the resort that Chelsea & Celeste stayed at, you can see the Gulf of Mexico in the background.

This is a picture of the resort pool area. Ah, Mexico in the winter time is nice!

The Resort Beach. When you get there early enough, you get your pic of the beach chairs!

Celeste is apparently reading the resort documentation - probably to determine what the next fun thing to do would be.

I think Celeste was about to pick up a lime from the basket, when Chelsea snuck up and took this picture!

Chelsea & Celeste were out exploring the resort and came across this interesting spot.

The Lipford girls exploring, and a nice tourist took this picture of them. Beautiful day for a stroll!

One of the local Mexican critters letting the Lipford Girls know that they were getting too close.

This local critter didn't mind people, and swam over to have it's picture taken.

Everyone waiting for the bar waiter to show up again. Gives you an idea of how laid-back it is there doesn't it?

Quick, somebody get up and go grab that waitress! If we don't get our drink order in, it could be 10 minutes or more before she comes back again.

A vacation moment; Chelsea is working on her tan, relaxing.

This guy is either a local bandito, or he is arriving to become part of the entertainment?

You gotta love that resort pool.

These guys are either part of the evening entertainment, or they are going to judge the horse back riding?

Celeste competing in the "fittest gringo" contest,so I guess the Mayan dudes are judging that competition?

Does this hat look good on me? Should I bring it back to Virginia when we leave?

After Chelsea saw how nice Celeste looked in that hat, she thought that she might want to get a hat for herself.

And this concludes their trip to Mexico, they flew back to Virginia where by now, William, Jeremy and I had also returned from Vail, CO. Needless to say, their tans were a lot better than ours!
