1 week with my great family in a large resort next to a beautiful beach and warm Pacific water and tons of yummy food. What more could you ask for?

We had a very relaxing week: went off on a snorkeling trip one day to Las Marietas (no pics of that unfortunately), walked to Bucerias one day (took a cab back cause it was SO hot), and basically just spent the rest of the time on the beach, swimming, playing ping pong, reading, eating and chatting.

the name of this drink I cannot repeat. It was a bad name. and there was A LOT of liquor in it with a bit of blue stuff and about a tablespoon of orange juice. The challenge was to order a drink you have never had before. This is what the bartender prepared for me. :) I didn't finish that drink, but the Tequila in the mini bar in our room sure came in handy for my sore throat!



the sun through the lens of my sunglasses. They sure made the pretty scenery even prettier!

What a guy....

So amazing! What great memories for your family. I'm glad so many of my friends have taken trips to Mexico so that when our turn comes, we'll have lots of advice on where to go.
