Hola from Puerto Vallarta

Gracias Mae Mae and Gaddy (Bradley's parents)  for a wonderful, relaxing trip to Puerto Vallarta!  We spent 5 days in beautiful, sunny Mexico (adults only, thank you Lainey, Papa Ike and the Stennetts for keeping our kids!) and here are some of the pictures. 





These are the views from our balcony.  It was very foggy the first morning we arrived but breathtaking nonetheless.

A couple of more balcony views at sunset




The first night we ate dinner outside by the pool. It was great food in a fantastic atmosphere!

Deep sea fishing and golf kept us busy, although we did our fair share of lounging at the pool. I think we definitely caught more cervecas on the fishing trip than fish, but it was a lot of fun!

 We got a chance to see some humpback whales. This was probably the best part of the fishing trip for me!









We ventured into town for some sightseeing and shopping and ended up getting a cab up the mountain to a restaurant called Carmelitas. It was a beautiful view but our taxi drivers decided not to wait on us so we had a little trouble getting down the mountain....but we made it.

 I cannot fathom how he gets these rocks to stand like this, amazing!

We had cats, peacocks, and iguanas roaming around our hotel. Kind of crazy



This is the picture I am going to carry in my mind when I start feeling blue this cold, dreary Mississippi winter. Relaxing poolside... To me it doesn't get much better.
