Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

This is the lobby of our resort, Mayan Palace in Mexico. We had the best time in the 5 short days we were there. The resort was great! Small, not crowded, and clean!!!! We ate lots of food and drank lots of beer.

Brandon and I on a sunset cruise on our way to dinner.

Brandon looks like he is enjoying himself way to much! This was from the luau at our resort. I know what you are thinking a luau in Mexico?!? We said the same thing but for $25 we had an open bar, good food, and the best entertainment. Scott won a hula contest too. Everyone one needs to check out his performance on YouTube.


The pool had a swim up bar. Needless to say the guys spent a lot of time there. Well, I guess I spent my fair share of time there too.


Mary Louise and I had a great time. The guys played volleyball and the girls got to sit in the sun, drink frozen drinks, read, and take the occasional nap. It was as perfect as it sounds.


Mary Louise, Scott, and Brandon relaxing in the pool after a morning of zipping on wires through the jungle.


If you look real close you can see Brandon para-sailing with the city in the background.


The people at the resort had no idea what they were in for when they invited Brandon and Scott to play volleyball. These two could be heard all the way down at the beach laughing and trash talking each other. They were on opposite teams just for that reason. Once they got a little comfortable with everyone else playing no one was safe. After the first game the Bran and Scott were called the Hardy Boys by both staff and guest of the resort. What can I say they make an impression.


Hands down one of the best signs ever! This is the name of a charter fishing company at the marina.


The resort is located across the street from the marina. Surrounding the boats were tons of shops, bars, and restaurants. If you are ever there you must go to "Victor's." It is a restaurant that serves a shot of tequila with EVERY drink you order and after your meal they bring you a Kahlua drink. The owner, Victor, walks around going from table to table making a toast and taking a shot of tequila. We had a blast!! At the end of the trip we were ready to see the kids but not ready to come back to the real world.

Those pics are great---I love the one with Bran and the hula dancer---gotta frame that one!!
I have a feeling 'that sign' may very well inspire Chad's next Halloween costume!
