Our Honeymoon

Well we are back from Mexico safe and sound. We had a great time, we stayed at the Barcelo La Jolla De Mismoloya. We weren't very impressed with the food, but it was ok. Breakfast was great. I really enjoyed the fresh fruit and fresh smoothies every morning. There was alot of fresh fish, which we both enjoyed. We really only had two days where we didn't have anything scheduled. We got there Monday after lunch, so we didnt really do anything we were exhausted. Tuesday we had a full day to do NOTHING, and instead we decided to take a walk into the town of Mismaloya, we were told to take a right after we left our resort. Well we did and we ended up walking along the highway for about 25 minutes (it was supposed to be a 15 minute walk) so we got a taxi and went back to the resort. We later found out that cross the road from our hotel the road forks and then we go right. But anyways we went into Puerto Vallarta-downtown instead, and did a little shopping, we laid out in the sun for awhile and had dinner. We were pretty much in bed by 9 every night...we are getting old you know. But we were also up by 7 every morning. At the resort you can buy these pots that are unfinished they are just clay and they have a spot where you sit and paint them, after you are finished they take them over night and put them into a kiln and fire them so they come out shiney. So I think we ended up doig a total of 6-7 pots. Well they aren't all pots, we each did a little jar for the kids, we also made salsa bowl, chip bowl, and a small plate,k plus a little bowl for my jewelry. Wednesday we laid around all day getting some sun, and that night we went on the Pirate ship. What a blast. I had done the pirate ship with Morgan family 2 years ago, but it was new to Morgan. I had forgotten that they made three girls to up on stage and sing a mexican song with an ice cube in their mouth. How funny..glad I didn't get picked. Thursday we went back into town to look for some more stuff for the kiddos, and that night we had dinner reservations at one of the restaurants at the hotel. Friday we went on what is called the outdoor adventure, you ride a mule up the mountain, then go down the mountin by zip lines and repelling down waterfalls, and free falling off of cliffs by a rope, and zip lining into rivers and hiking back up the mountain. It was SO much fun. I think that was my favourtie part of the trip. You get to meet some great people. We made some great friends that we hope to keep in touch with on that excursion. Saturday was our last full day and so we celebrated our anniversary that day. We went and had a massage together in the morning on the balcony over looking the ocean. It was wonderful. That night we went to Rythems of the Night on a private beach which is only lite up by candels, no electricity except for the show that they put on. It was so romantic. We also went to the local zoo on Saturday. It wasn't a very pretty zoo but you were able to get so close to the animals. I got to hold and play with a baby panther and Morgan got to play with a baby lion. We got to see lots of animals and get closer to them there than at a zoo here. Anyways you can view the pictures either on facebook or I have more on photo bucket..you do not need a membership to view them here.

  1. Great photos on photobucket. I loved the one where you were (Jess) obviously in pain from some claws being drawn into your flesh. Glad you enjoyed yourselves and are back home safely. Now to continue with the program, huh? Love to you all, Uncle Tim
