Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta is the girls most favorite place in all the world. Second favorite place is Idaho, that's the truth go figure. It was more than toasty in PV, over a 100 degrees. I was sweating like a pig in a Mexican chorizo factory (that's sausage). Our day was cut short in PV due to the man-over-board incident early in the morning. We were supposed to get into PV at 9am and leave at 9:30pm, but we arrived at 2pm after the Mexican Coast Guard released the ship from its search and rescue duties.

We really only made two stop in PV. We visited the market downtown first. The girls bought coverups for the beach days and they got their hair braided (a must for Davenport girls in Mexico). We bought some bracelets and some abanicos (fans, also a must for Davenport girls in Mexico). We blew some serious cash, may be $15 bucks total, which is a lot in Mexico.

After looking through the market and walking across the bridge of death at the market 7 or 8 times, we jumped in a taxi and we went to the Westin Regina resort. We weren't guests obviously so we had to sneak in. The place was a ghost town, but the pools were warm. Interestingly, the ocean was even warmer. I bet it was 85 degrees, too warm, but the girls liked it. We swam a little, Ashley made a sand castle, and we watched the sunset. That was Puerto Vallarta.








Kaitlyn thought that she was one hot spanish chica swinging from the lamp post.

The girls loved their fans, most are already broken.

Puerto Vallarta is our favorite. We'll be there in 3 weeks. Those sure make cute senoritas.

There just isn't enough words to describe how much we love PV. Our home away from home. We love it when we have the little ones with us too.
