Puerto Vallarta

We just got back from our cruise on Monday. It was amazing!! I was so warm and beautiful. For the few of you who read my blog, I must apologize, this will be a long blog because this is my form of scrapbooking so I want to write down all of the stuff so we remember it. Also, I'm not that great of a picture taker, I forget or I just take a quick picture. I'm nothing like my sister, she always poses her family all cute and takes great pictures and scrapbooks them. She puts me to shame. I love her!!
This is our ship, the Carnival Pride, at Cabo San Lucas
Our first two days we spent at sea. These days were extremely relaxing. We hung out on deck laying out in the sun and of course eating.

Our first port was Puerto Vallarta. We hungout at the beach there for a little bit. We didn't really go swimming, because Brian and Kyle wanted to ride the canopies here. We also went shopping and ate lunch here. Some of the shops were very interesting, but they were fun to look around in. Everything is a "good price" or at least that's what the Mexicans say.
We ate at Pepe's. My sister-in-law has been there and said it was good so it was the only place that I trusted to eat at in Mexico.

Bentley and Vicki in the Jungle waiting for the guys to get off the canopies
A house in Puerto Vallarta- this was one of the nicer homes. Some were literally huts.

While the guys were on the canopies, Vicki, Bentley and I hungout at the waterfalls and restraunt there. The place was were the movie "Preditor" was filmed. There was a boy there that was dressed up as the Preditor and was hiding in the jungle and scaring people. He kept coming up and talking to Bentley. He called Bentley "Fervishio". I'm not sure how to spell it, because it was Spanish. Also, I'm not quite sure what it means. While we were waiting, we would sometimes hear Brian yell my name and we'd look way up in the sky and see him flying across the zip line. Crazy!Bentley and his new friendThe guys waiting for their canopy training course. They had to wear the bandanna's under their helmets.

We all really enjoyed Puerto Vallarta. It was really pretty and fun. The driving however was quite scary. They had only a few stop lights and no stop signs. Everyone just pulls up to a corner, slows and then goes. It's a big city too. Other than that it was wonderful.

Oh the beach looks heavenly! Although since my body is shaping up to be a perfect whale I guess I'll just dream about it for now. Glad you guys had fun, Bentley I'm sure really enjoyed it. The best part is no one got guiardia (?) the runs...right? (:

Oh, it looks like SO much fun! Much more fun than the snow, cold, and inversion air here...I missed you while you were gone. You missed so many "50 Nifty" practices that I bet you are SAD! Ha! Ha! No, be glad. I think I will have that song stuck in my head for the next 50-nifty years.
