A la Miss Martini, Mr. Dragon and I just got back from a five-day trip to Cancun. He had a business conference to attend in Mexico, and they allowed him to bring a friend, so… because he knew what was good for him, he took ME.

Mr. Dragon and I hadn’t been on a vacation together in about a year and a half, so we were due! My plan for the entire trip was to plant my booty on the beach and do nothing but read. Mission accomplished. In the days leading up to the vacation, I was so excited to get out of cold Chicago (we had a pretty significant snowstorm/cold front in the week before we left). However, I kept looking at the stack of wedding projects on my kitchen table and thought about how I needed to get them completed. December is my month to knock out a bunch of our big wedding tasks. January/February are horrifically busy for both Mr. Dragon and me every year, so that was my chance to get things done!

Once my feet hit the sand in Mexico, I didn’t care about that anymore though. We needed a break! We had a chance to reconnect as a couple and just loaf around - it was awesome.

A few pics from “Spring Break 2008″:

Can you guess why I loved the contents of our mini bar so much?

Mr. Dragon looking sexay! (Although he was actually saying, “Can we please get off the beach and go eat?”)

We went to this popular club called the Coco Bongo. The show was fun, but it was so crowded we couldn’t dance!

The resort made these fun drinks called Crazy Coconuts - they were actually really yum!

I was forced into taking this picture.

Yes, I had three drinks with my breakfast, and yes one of them was a Coke.

So we had a great time and did a whole lot of nuffin’!

Were any of you able to take time out to reconnect with your fiancé in the months before your wedding? Do you think it’s important in the midst of all the wedding to-dos or do you think it’s okay to save it for the honeymoon?
