The weather man was certainly wrong this morning in our forecast for this morning. He said it would rain...but we've got snow and such a big flakes, that it covered the ground in thirty minutes. How beautiful...and what a surprise! 
This is Ben...my 10 month old grandson...ready for cold weather in his winter duds! We're finally having some "winter weather" here in North Carolina...but no snow!
C'est moi! with Ben at Tulum in Mexico!
We forgot to take toys. We bought some things for him to play with...but he had MORE fun playing on his stroller...climbing on it and taking the items in and out of the bottom...plus he found things in the room to play with. They had a large wall mirror...and he spent a lot of time looking at himself and us in the mirror...and laughing at us! He is such a happy baby...laughing all the time!
Lunch by the pool!!! Ben and Ginger...my grandson and daughter-in-law...who is like the daughter I never had! She is great! 
My son, Tony, and Ben...overlooking the ocean from the top of the hill at Tulum!
One of the tiled floors in the market at Playa del Carmen across from our hotel!
A couple of Mexican craftmen painting some bowls.
We arrived in the middle of a rain storm...but I awoke to this beautiful sky the next morning.
We walked into the heart of downtown Playa del Carmen. I don't think they're planning on having any problems with downtown shoppers! Look closely at his weapon. 
These are some of the pottery pieces I bought while on vacation in Mexico. I love the beautiful, bright colors. Now, I wish I had bought some of the plates to hang in my kitchen.
What a great vacation I had in Playa del Carmen, Mexico...which is about an hour south of Cancun. Our hotel was right across the street from the Market, which made shopping very convenient and lots of fun.
Here's another view of the Market with all the beautiful colors they use.
This is a picture of the mosaic on the floor of one of the shops. There were lots of mosaics everywhere, decorating the floors of a lot of the shops. Beautiful!
A neat looking fountain in the Market!
We spent one day visiting the Mayan ruins at Tulum.
We spent one afternoon at the Aviary enjoying the beautiful birds. 
Ben enthralled with the birds!
Here's my beautiful journal...writing in it gives me a lot of pleasure. The front cover is covered with tiles over a silky red fabric...such a luxurious feeling!
