MEXICO!!!

Wow! Where did the month of November go? It's been a crazy busy last couple of months. It's relief to finally have an opportunity to blog about an amazing trip Greg and I were able to go on with his family the week before Thanksgiving. It had been in the works for over a year! Thanks to Greg's mom this trip was made possible. She found the perfect location and greatest getaway that any of us could ask for. Any guesses?......MEXICO!!! Yeah that's right, MEXICO! Not only Mexico, but to a place called Taninah.

Taninah was so unique to any other place I had ever been. It was situated about 15 minutes off a main road that headed south from Cancun about a hour and a half. So pretty much we were out in the middle of a mexican jungle. How cool is that!? It was great to have the whole family together and in such a neat environment.

Enjoy the first of many blogs to come about the Kopp Family trip to Mexico. I decided to start off the pictures with a quick tour of Taninah.

This was the place Greg and I slept, along with his brother and his wife. It was called "El Bungalow"

These are just a few of the many places at Taninah. Hopefully I'll be able to show you more of what we experience in Mexico throughout the next few blogs.
