Case and I were able to take a trip to Mexico at the beginning of the month and after all was said and done, we are going back! Puerto Vallarta...see you in 2018! We left Kyla with the grandparents. The great thing about vacationing without your kids is it gives you something to look forward to once you get back home. It was quite lovely. I was excited to get to Mexico and just as excited to get home. WIN WIN!
This was mine and Casey's first "International" trip together, and his first time swimming in the ocean. (Gotta love that mouth full of salt water.) We didn't do a whole lot which was exactly what I wanted. If you think it's tough laying on the beach all day listening to the waves crash against the shore, it most certainly is not. The most energy I exerted was getting up to move my beach chair under the palm tree if the sun got too far ahead of me. (Real tough...I know.)
One day was spent touring the older part of the city and frolicking on the boardwalk (which is where I took those statue pictures.) We ran into some fellow Idahoans while walking through town. Turns out they were from Twin Falls! It really is a crazy small world. Another night was spent at the "Pirates of the Bay" dinner show which was a blast. If you vacation in P.V. be sure to check it out. However... if you like having a good time this dinner show is not for you. Just a heads up.
I was glad I took my big girl camera for the trip, but I made a big effort to limit my picture intake. For the most part I think I captured our vacation in 25 pictures or less. Not too shabby for a chick who takes 800 photos in one whack eh? FYI...everyone assumed we were Canadians. Apparently Puerto Vallarta is quite the vacation spot for the Canucks. We saw one who sat on the beach for 6 hours without any sunscreen application. Clifford the big red dog made an appearance the very next day!
Oh and if any of you are thinking about booking a trip, I used Expedia and had no problems at all. Two thumbs up from this girl.
I have no idea who that lady is. For being at the beach she doesn't look too thrilled.
Barracuda our pirate!
These guys put the Las Vegas statues to shame. Yes he is holding himself up with one arm and didn't move for the 20 minutes I saw him.
Yup...its a real dude. Pretty awesome!
