Ports of Call in Mexico

We had three days in two different ports; Cabo San Lucas for two days and Puerto Vallarta.

In Cabo the first day we made our way through town to Cabo Wabo Cantina - Sammy Hagar's bar. We had a drink and a bite to eat.

My inner rock star coming out!

Cute selfie.

Crazy, fun selfie!

Then we walked farther to find a bar on the beach that Bill and Janine had been to previously.

Hanging out at Mango's Deck Bar & Restaurant.



The view from the deck bar.

The great thing about being on the beach was that you could take a water taxi right back to where the cruise tenders pick you up.

Janine and Bill headed back to the ship while Jason and I headed off on a little adventure to find another local beach. We came across some sea lions on the way.




Beach selfies!

I guess I have no pictures, but day day two in Cabo we headed back to Mango's but this time got there early enough that we got beach lounges on the water and spent the day swimming, sunning, drinking and shopping from the local vendor who would come up to us EVERY. FIVE. MINUTES. to try and sell us something. But we did get a few treasures!

 Our second port of call in Puerto Vallarta was spent at Las Caletas Beach Hideaway.

Here we are (NOT getting over served) on the catamaran ride down to the private beach.

It was a beautiful ride down the coast.

Girlie selfie!

 Once there they give you lunch, unlimited drinks and all kinds of water sports and activities. Jason headed off right away to do some suba diving while us three had lunch and made our way to the beach.

 It was so beautiful and peaceful.

Can you see those floating platforms? They had hammocks and chairs under umbrellas that you could swim or paddle out to - Jason and I paddle boarded out to the farthest one.

 Way over there in the water was Jason.

I didn't get any more pictures while we were enjoying the area, as we were too busy swimming, paddle boarding and relaxing in hammocks that dipped into the water along the shore. It was a little slice of heaven!

 A few pictures as we were lined up to get back on the catamaran on our way back to the ship.





 Once back in town, Janine and Bill headed back to the ship after a long day in the sun, but the ship didn't leave until 7p that night so Jason and I headed off on another adventure. 

The plan was to take a taxi into town but once we got in the cab the driver offered to drive us around town to see the sights and give us a little tour. Plus, he stopped in the old town area where we could get out and do some shopping.

 This was a little wooden bridge in the middle of the old town area that crossed the river.

It was nice to see an authentic part of town and be able to shop without being harassed because we were in the touristy area. Plus, the items were more authentic and better priced!

After the cab dropped us off, Jason still wasn't ready to go back to the ship so we walked around until we found a small, local bar and stopped in for a drink. It was great for Jason to practice his Spanish and the bartender was a really nice young man who really enjoyed talking to us, and us him.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back. ...
