mexican riveria

our last stop was cabo wabo actually cabo san lucas i just like saying cabo wabo. i loved this place and would love to go back to hang out on lover's beach for a few days. we only had around 6 hours in this city before the boat sailed back to LA. it is so beautiful. you will just have to experience yourself.

our second port was mazatlan. it didn't have the resort feel as the other ports. this was more of a working man's city. we did the best of mazatlan tour and saw a natural lighthouse, watched a diver jump off a rock, watched flyer dancers and brett liked the cowboy action picture he snapped and then we went down to their shops in old town to get you to buy their jewlery which is just not my thing and then they dropped us off at a hotel for a mexican lunch buffet and then we drove back in a cool mini somthing

our first stop was puerto vallarta. this was brett's favorite place since we took a speed boat to a small fishing village and rode in a mercedes SUV up some road only to have people shooting at us it sounded like (the muffler kept making exploding noises) they dropped us off to ride mules up a mountiain and then we took about 8 zip lines and repelled on two rocks to get down. we had alot of fun in our group. we later walked around downtown and along the pier. the weather was around 86 degrees. nice and warm.

this was the first time taking a princess cruise. we were on the golden ship. they had a tennis court, mini golf, a small track which i ran 80 times around to do 8 miles. there were lots of swimming pools and plenty of places to eat. we mainly stayed near this pool since it was closer to our cabin.

happy birthday to me...

so i had an awesome birthday. i was spoiled. about a month ago for our relief society birthday celebration i was asked the question what would be your idea of a perfect birthday and i said just to be able to relax for the whole day with out cleaning or cooking and to take a long nap. this is exactly what i did plus i ran 6 miles, layed out in the sun and had my favorite dessert, chocolate dipped strawberries. who could ask for more? thanks brett i love you! and thank you to all my family and friends who sent me emails, birthday cards, gifts and to those who forgot i am a very forgiving person and i still accept birthday wishes anytime throughout the year. i love celebrating birthdays. kidding!!!

all aboard to mexico....

welcome back to reality now. it isn't that hard to get back in to the schedule of life. we had an amazing time. it was relaxing, fun and sunny and warm. no cooking, dishes or cleaning involved and that was the best part. lots of naps and of course eating. we did miss our girls and it is so good to be home with them now. they were in great hands while we were on our vacation. here are a few pics from the mexican riveria.
