Thanksgiving of 2015 was spent in Cancun, Mexico. Cancun usually gets tagged as the "SPRING BREAK WOO HOO" of Mexico, but it really is quite beautiful. Tulum and Chichen Itza (a bartender very pun-nily called it "chicken pizza") were both far from our hotel, but well worth the day trip to see ruins of one of the most fascinating ancient civilizations. Other than the tequila, margaritas and unlimited food, one of the highlights was taking a day trip out to Isla Contoy - a small island north of Isla Mujeres. As a protected area and national park, it's a bird sanctuary with probably the most beautiful beach I've ever seen in my life; it was straight out of a desktop background. I would also recommend hitting up Taco Paco - the street side store had coconut shrimp tacos that were bomb.
