Cozumel in Pictures: A Family Vacation

Cozumel in Pictures: A Family Vacation
Cozumel

We recently returned from spending 5 days on Cozumel, Mexico as a family! It was our Christmas gift to the boys and was our last big hurrah for a family vacation! Almost 3 years had passed since we had a family vacation as the 4 of us and we know that as the boys continue to grow and mature, it just isn’t going to happen. So, we decided to go out with a big bang.

We ended up falling into Cozumel by a series of circumstance and were very hesitant, but now that we’ve been and returned…what an amazing experience it was! Not only did we enjoy the beautiful weather, sunshine, beach, and ocean. We learned a lot about the Mexicans, their lives, and how much they thrive off tourism.
