Two Guys & Their Wives on Vacation!!

At the end of September, we went on vacation for a week.  Thankfully, no pigs were involved...but that doesn't mean there weren't discussions about it!!  I guess that is what happens when the two guys share a similar love :)

We started the party at McKinley's in Clayton to celebrate my birthday!

Hunter and Ashley stayed at our house so we could get up early and hit the road.  We drove all day and stayed in Ft. Lauderdale for the evening.  It was late and we didn't get to the beach.  So we hit the bed early to makes sure we got to the port on time.  We were going to Mexico!!


Our cruise lasted for five days and stopped in Cozumel for the day.  We had lots of sun, sand and relaxation during that time.  We rented a Jeep in Cozumel and took a tour of the island.  Afterwards, we had an authentic Mexican lunch at Pancho's Backyard.  The food was fabulous and puts Mexican here in the US to shame.  We started to shop, but got distracted by Fat Tuesday's.  We ended up hanging out and dancing there for a few hours.  It was definitely an unforgettable afternoon!



We got all dressed up for formal night, sat by the pool and enjoyed the scenery and ate lots of wonderful food!





We definitely had a blast on the ship!  It was the perfect vacation, and I wouldn't change one thing!! 
On our way home, we split the drive up by stopping in Savannah for the evening.  We enjoyed great food on the water and the amazing sunset.  Savannah is one of my favorite cities, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to visit...even if it was for a few hours! 



I can't say enough wonderful things about this vacation.  We had never taken a vacation with another couple, but I would say it was definitely a success!  The boys went and played during the day while Ashley and I hung out at the pool.  We took naps in the afternoons and stayed out late dancing in the evenings.  
We had the time of our lives!!

We had lots of pig events in October and November, so it was perfect timing for a vacation!  Our first catering job was coming up and two more competitions to go until our "season" was over.  So glad we rested up!
