What a view!

Nice catch!

Who looks happier Craig or the Skipper!

Pool

This was a second pool, it wasn't as big as the main pool however it was plenty big. Craig is having a great time as you can see.

Swimming

This was the cooling pool outside of our room, every room was equipped with one.

Daniella at the pool

Did I mention how much I love having a girl, here she is again striking a pose in her bikini at the pool.

Catching some waves

It was very difficult to venture out into the ocean because of the sharp coral, it could really give you a beating depending on the current.

Pool Bar

Drinking some fruit punch

Easy Curt don't spill

Curt returning from the pool bar, it was happy hour between 11:00-1:00. It was hot and the drinks were cool. The pool was incredible and huge.

Having some fun at the pool

Curt launching his daughter Summer into the air.

Going to the pool

Jacuzzi

Donovan & Dominic enjoying some suds.

Face Painting

It stormed pretty hard on Sunday so the kids enjoyed some indoor activities including getting their faces painted. The paint lasted about an hour before they were wearing it all over their clothes.

View

This was our view from our balcony. We were on the top floor and could see for miles.

Condo

Our rooms were incredible, did I mention how much fun we had!

Waiting for lunch

This was right outside our table at lunch, the views were spectacular. I could live down there other than the food, everything tasted just a little different.

Grandpa & Daniella

She kept her hat on for about 5 seconds. I have no idea how but the kids got incredibly tan. They were constantly covered with suncreen and they were darker than I. Of course Craig calls me mayonnaise becuase I'm so white.

Cheese

A beautiful hot day at the Mayan Ruins in Chichen Itza.

Craig and his new love

Daniella & Mommy

It was very hot the day we visited the ruins, Daniella is passed out in my little pouch. We walked forever that day in the hot sun, it was well worth it! Daniella was playing with my camera that day so most of my pictures were black and white, with certain objects showing in color.

Buds

These two would not leave each others side, they would play hard and fight hard.

Mayan Ruins

Mayan Group

Donovan & Ruins

Here's my Donovan trying to pose like his father.

Boys

Here are the boys posing for the camera in their new hats. Not sure what kind of sign Donovan is displaying, I bet he isn't either.

A little pub

We stopped off at this bar in downtown Playa Del Carmen for some nice refreshing beverages. Craig jumped behind the bar and snapped this picture.

Out on the pier

Summer & Dominic

This was just outside the buffet restaurant in the lobby.

Me & Mom

Daniella on the beach

Daniella is having a ball on the beach.

Karate dork

Not sure what my husband is trying to do.

Cave

We went swimming & diving in this cave, there are stairs to the left of all of the people. My dad dove off twice, Curt & Craig jumped from the top, Donovan and I jumped from the middle and Summer jumped from the bottom. You could see the fish in the water, luckily they were small.

Donovan & the silver dude

This was in downtown Playa Del Carmen, this guy must have been crazy to put on all that clothing and makeup.

Limbo

I'm getting a little older and can't bend the way I use to. The 8 year old kid in the jersey won, he had a slight height advantage.

The bus ride

Craig fell asleep on our long bus ride back from Chichen Itza, Curt supplied the wheat thins around his shirt.

Tourists

We stopped at a little restaurant in downtown Playa Del Carmen and had some good food and drinks.

Road Sign

I had to take a picture of this sign. We asked our taxi driver what it meant and he said something about using the bridge to cross the road. Looks like it means don't poop here or take a left turn.

Three Amigos

Stopped off at a little resturant and the three amigos made a personal appearance. We couldn't get their autographs because the crowd was too large.

Senor Frogs

Waiting....

We took shuttles back and forth from our building to the main pool, restuarant, stores, etc. The Grand Mayan was a big resort which included a golf course.

Waves

I was trying really hard to get out where Curt was but the tide was kicking my butt. I couldn't go forward or backward and was stuck for a while. The coral is sharp and painful, a few pieces got stuck in my fingers and to this day I cannot get it them out.

I would love to look at this view everyday!

Summer & Curt

Martucci Family Reunion 2008

Every Memorial Weekend we venture off to the Martucci Family Reunion. We always have a lovely time and are very fortunate to have such a great family.

Craig's big catch

Craig went fishing at the family reunion on his brother's boat and caught this steelhead.

Rub a dub dub

Daniella loves to play in the tub, she slips and slides all over the place, she loves to get on her belly and slide back and forth. As you can see she's got the long eye lashes just like her brothers, they got that from their daddy along with their dimples.
