Here is the amazing house that we stayed in. It was just a heavenly hacienda right on the beach-- totally awesome. You can see that one nice place was the hammock hanging in the tree- we all enjoyed reading there. (Todd took the picture of the dome-- he is really proud of himself.)
We went on this day excursion with snorkeling, hiking, and boating. It was a fun day and we really enjoyed the hiking and the snorkeling-- there were tons of fish all around. Climbing up the rock was fun too-- todd jumped off and I slid down the rock like a slide. It actually didn't even hurt. The only thing we could have done without was the booze cruise back- people getting drunk and doing crass things-- not really our cup of tea.
Here is all of us downtown in the flea market where we were doing a little bit of bargaining!
This is a cute little unknown restaurant Los Arboles (the Trees) and it was the best place we ate all week. It was definitely off the beaten path and the boys had to go through a political rally to get to it. But it was worth it.
The girls were actually shopping before hand. I got this really cute purse and some awesome real silver earrings at a great deal- we found out from the locals where to get the good stuff.
The boys meantime were trying to get to us through the political rally. So they decided to make good use of being stuck in traffic and ran to go get some of the t-shirts they were giving out. They had to prove they would wear them so they put them on right away. Then they had to run down the street in the middle of the city trying to get back to the car. It was a pretty hilarious sight with three caucasion boys wearing the same shirt all smiling big for Nacho Guzman for President. It made waiting in traffic all worthwhile. Anything for a free t-shirt!
The best things we did all week was just sit and enjoy the scenery and the waves. Here are some shots of us boogie boarding. The first is Kyle, Nate, then Alyson (and she is even pregnant!), and me! Hey I know what your thinking but mine was a big wave too-- but the shot was just taken after I had rode it all the way in! REALLY!

Heather...you are an amazing and funloving daughter....can't wait to spend time with and Todd in Alaska. Great photos and can we rent that house next year for the Carr vacation? Love, Dad
P.S I meant to write"you and Todd"..I "are" a poor typist! Dad
Wow! Looks like you guys had a FANTASTIC time! That house looks sooo cool! You have a great family, Todd. You all had some really amazing adventures, together. Looks like it was really hot there, and now you'll be in cold, rainy weather next week! ----Love, Christine (Mom)
Looks like a blast! I'm pretty sure I went to the same place yall did when you were jumping off the rocks by the waterfall. However, it looks like they made some improvements, such as adding rails to that bridge - before it was just the walkway!! Also, it was a lot smaller waterfall when we went. Mexico is fun, though. Looks like yall sure enjoyed it!
P.S. that is one good looking picture of the dome, Todd. Good job! =)
First of all, awesome house, so fun! I loved the dome shot even before I knew it was Todd's.
The waterfall looks like a blast. I would be a bit scared though.
Let's say NO to having to bargain for shopping. I hate that.
I LOVE the political rally story, so funny! Those shirts are pretty cool!
The waves look like fun. I believe you about the wave. That shot reminds me of the similar shot of you and I in Hawaii after riding a wave.
I'm so glad you have such awesome in-laws to enjoy life with. We all married into such fun-loving families. It makes me happy for my sisters.
