Mexico

We went to Mexico on April 2nd for a 2 1/2 week vacation. It was so good to get back there and see friends and family. We spent a week in the city of Guadalajara and then a week at the beach. I feel like I am getting know Mexico more and more every time we go. I was so excited to see friends and family and to eat the amazing food and couldn't wait to just relax. When we go Mexico we loose track of the time and what day of the week it is because everything is so laid back over there. One thing about Mexico is no matter how hard you try to stay clean within 5 min you are dirty. They don't have carpet in the houses over there so if you don't wear some type of shoes your feet and legs get dirty within minutes, but the kids love it! When I would give them baths the water would turn out black. It was kind of gross but that's OK we were on vacation.

Rodrigos mom was also married while we were over there. She was married on April 11th to Ricardo Fernandez. They have been together for just about 10 years and have a 7 year old daughter Daniela together. It was great to be there for the celebration. We love them so much and are so happy for them both. Rodrigo and I also got to participate in the ceremony, we walked down the isle and we got to put a rope around them to symbolize something. I don't really know because it was all in Spanish. I am getting better at understanding Spanish but not 100%. Rodrigos family is learning English so between my Spanish and there English we get by pretty good.

After the wedding we all went to beach for the honeymoon. The beach we went to was call Los Angelos Locos. The beach was private and the most beautiful place I have seen besides Cancun. There were activities for the kids and adults every hour. They had swim lessons for kids, water polo, beach volley ball, water aerobics, yoga, dance lessons, horse back riding, boat rides, fishing, etc. We are definitely going to go back next year and stay 7 days instead of 5. We also went on a boat tour through a little jungle area and saw crocodiles. We had a wonderful time and got a good tan.

We did so much but I thought I would share just a few highlights. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
