Mexican Rivera Cruise

Sometimes its nice to get away, its even nicer to be able to do it alone. This summer, Paul and I escaped with his brother Larry and SIL Jessica on a 7 day Cruise to Mexico. It was a ton of fun.

Fun on the boat...

Our first port in Cabo San Lucas. We were supposed to go kayaking but due to wind our excursion was canceled. It was actually a lot more fun to play at the beach then eat out. It was so hot in Cabo, it was perfect (the ship was pretty chilly).

 

Our second stop was Puerta Villarta. Paul and I did an excursion by ourselves called the extreme adventure. I was very nervous about it after reading the brochure but it was probably the most fun thing we've ever done. We rode a speed boat, saw piranhas in the water (there were supposedly crocodiles too!), rode donkeys, went off roading, zip-lining (coolest/scariest thing ever), repelled down waterfalls. It was seriously A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

We had a blast with Larry and Jess and can't wait for the next vacation!

 We always miss the kids but are so lucky we have great family to take care of them. While we were gone, Nana and Poppy took them to San Diego for a few days at the beach. Kade's favorite thing in the world to do is stay at a hotel so he loved it (so did the rest). They swam in the pool all day and had the most fun.

 My mom had a hysterectomy a few weeks before and was still recovering. The girls were big helpers to Nana and Poppy. Kade loved helping Poppy with the yardwork (he dressed himself this morning lol).

They had a blast with their Nana and Poppy.
