Mexico Vacation Pics



Acapulco was our first stop. Pat and I had never been and we took a tour of the city and of course went to see the cliff divers. I so wish the picture of me and the speedo wearing divers turned out better! Ha!



Unannounced to us, our trip changed and switched ports from Zihuanteneo to Manzanillo. Manzanillo is kinda a nothing town, but has some beautiful beaches. We went on a snorkel trip. To be honest the snorkeling was non existent, but the boat crew did their best and fished out some sea creatures for every one to see.


My sister Michele has a friend that lives in Puerto Vallarta most of the year. She showed us around for the day and it was so great to get out of the tourist areas and see some real Mexico. We took the city bus to a beautiful beach, which was quite an adventure. The beach we went to was awesome...as was the guacamole at the beach restaurant.

Our last stop in Mexico was Cabo San Lucas. We went on a boat ride around lands end, took a scenic drive and walked around town. I love Cabo! It is such a beautiful place. I want to go back and spend a good long week soaking up the sun and views.

Back From Mexico

We just got back from Mexico... and no we don't have the swine flu. We had a great time spending the week with both of our families together. I will post more pictures soon. It is good to be home and back to our healthy habits. Cruises are not for healthy eaters. : )

Happy Easter


I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We did! I took some great pictures on Easter. I love the top pic of Connor. He recently lost his two bottom teeth and you can see the missing teeth in the picture. My sister and her two kids are just the cutest and every one's willingness to do a photo shoot made my day!

Remembering Pa Pa

Today is also Pat's grandfather's birthday. He passed away last year, the same day as Pat's surgery. I like to think he said good-bye on that day for a reason. Pa had a wonderful spirit. We miss him. Remembering a special guy today. xo

Happy Birthday Jack!

Our nephew Jack turns 8 today! Happy birthday Jack!

April Doctor's Appointment

Another monthly visit and Pat is looking good! It is so great to hear how well Pat is doing by from the professionals! Everything is healing and recovering well, and all areas look good. Yay Pat!

Turn Around Trip


We made a quickie turn around trip to LA a few weekends ago. Pat's cousin, Lisa and her adorable family were in town from Illinois. How could we miss seeing them? The Arizona crew also came out and it was a big family gathering. Fun, fun! The visit would not be complete with out some group photos! Cheese!
