Puerto Vallarta, Mexico


Part of our tour took us to El Eden Jungle where many popular
movies like Preditor and Night of the Iguana were filmed.

This was a beautiful place to take pictures!

The water here was quite cold!

The rope over the water is used to swing out into the pool.

Watch out Tom there is someone behind you!

Don't you love this beautiful beach!

Look out point over the City of Puerto Vallarta!

Enjoing the sights!!!

It is always great to spend time listening to the waves roll in!

We loved this beautiful place by the beach!
It was fun to spend time with my Mom and Dad!
Artist displaying their paintings!

Mermaids and scrulptures along the beachfront were lovely to see!
What a cutie!

I love my Mom and Dad!!!

This picture is taken in front of the cathedral in the picture below!



This once-sleepy fishing village became a popular resort after "The Night of the Iguana" was filmed here in 1964. We loved the red tile roofs and rows of balconies with colorful bougainvilleas along its cobblestone streets. We explored the El Eden Jungle and ate lunch by the natural pools while watching swimmers enjoying the cold water. It was a beautiful place to visit and I would love to go back again!

Mazatlan, Mexico

Here we are leaving Mazatlan!


These little taxis are all over Mazatlan!

We spent the afternoon at a Resort called Pueblo Bonito.


Jessie and Jason enjoyed a stroll along the beach.

My favorite treat is a virgin Pina Colada on the beach!




Cliff diving is quite a site!

A pretty view of Mazatlan during the tour!

Another nice view of the ocean!




This is a view of Mazatlan from the ship.

Our Cruise to the Mexican Riviera

We were so glad that Jessie and Jason invited us on this cruise!
Dinner each night was the highlight of the trip for me!


The food was delicious every night!

Everyone loved getting dressed up! Ha! Ha!

Mom and Dad look great dressed in their formal attire!

Here we are all dressed up for dinner!

We had a blast with Jason and Jessie on the cruise!

The waiters all sang at dinner! We watched "Ice Under the Big Top" starring the International Ice Cast. They were outstanding and I went ice skating on the ship too!

The beds were very comfy in on our little cabins.
We made some earrings and a blacelet in our jewelry class!

We took this picture in the ship shape room!

Exercising in the ship shape room was lots of fun!

Happy Second Birthday Jacob






Jacob turned two last week and we were able to celebrate his birthday on Saturday. Evan and Marisol just bought their first home a few weeks ago so it was great to be able to see them and their new house. I thought it was nice that they were able to move before the baby comes next month. Marisol made some yummy tostados and the cake and ice cream was delicious. We took a short walk in their beautiful neighborhood surrounded by pine trees and the kids enjoyed playing at the park. The weather was perfect and the leaves were changing colors.
