Jill and I have been together for about 12 years. In that time we have dated, lived together, gotten married, gone to college and graduate school, gotten real jobs, bought a house, and had a son. We have even had the time to drive to the coast for a few weekends throughout the years.
In the time we have known each other we have NEVER had a real vacation. We have never been on a plane together. We have never left the country.
Finally, these things are happening. With a new baby on the way in July, the time is urgent for us to take a trip of some sort to somewhere. Soon. SO we jumped in and did it. We are going to Mexico!!! Cozumel, to be exact. We are flying down for Spring break for a few nights. The warm weather, the warm Caribbean Sea, the few day break from parental responsibilities... Yeah!
The difficulty primarily lay with the dilemma of what to do with Drew while we were away. We knew that a vacation would NOT work with the boy in tow. We need a break. Then a bit of luck. Even though we live 3 1/2 hours away from our parents, (most of the time) , we were able to negotiate a plan that gets Jill's parents and my Mom involved, and we get to get away! Yahoo!!
For those of you as unfamiliar with Mexico as I am, here is a map of Mexico with the island of Cozumel clearly labeled (thanks MS Paint!).

Mexico! That's awesome. You guys totally deserve a break. Have a great trip, and know that I am super jealous. Please drink a margarita for me while you're there.
Enjoy trip guys... Cozumel is beautiful... the water is the most amazing blue you will ever see...
Can I hide in your suitcase? I could use some sun...
