Puerta Vallarta with the Jacintos

Paul and Elizabeth invited us to go with them to Paul's dads vacation home in PuertaVallarta.  We have been talking about it for years, but it has never happened because one of us was pregnant or nursing.  We finally found a window to go in November, so we jumped on it.  Mike's mom was nice enough to come out and watch the kids.
Sunday morning we took a flight to LA and then onto Puerta Vallarta.  We landed a few minutes before the Jacintos, went through immigration, and then met up with them in the baggage claim.  There was a driver waiting for us and he took us to a grocery store and then to Hacienda de Mita in Punta Mita, where we would spend the rest of the week.
I slept in on Monday and the boys went exploring.  They found this pier to dive off of. 
Then the boys went golfing and Elizabeth and I spent the day at the pool/beach reading, getting massages and relaxing.  Seriously, it was the perfect set up, when you walked out through the big glass sliding doors, the pool was right there.  A few steps down was the beach.  The days were filled with beautiful blue skies, bright sun and lots of relaxing. 

On Tuesday we went zip lining.  From there we went to explore a little town nearby.  We had a yummy lunch at an authentic Mexican restaurant and followed it up with some ice cream. 
Love spending time with this man on mine.
On Monday, I thought what could be better.  On Tuesday I remembered Diet Dr Pepper makes everything better. 
A little tennis on Tuesday night.  
On Wednesday we headed out to swim at a private island.
Lots of times these excursions are with large groups of people, so it was nice to be on a boat just the 4 of us.


The tour guide took us to see some unique rock formations. 



We even took the boat in a cave. 

Love the background in this picture. 
Thursday morning Elizabeth and I went horseback riding while the boys were golfing.  The horseback ride was gorgeous.  The horses were really well taken care of and beautiful animals.
That afternoon we spent the day at the Beach Club. Mike got a massage on the beach and I read my book. 
Riding around in our golf cart, which was our main mode of transportation. 
The entrance to our gated community. 
The last night we ate at the Beach Club.  It was a great evening with a beautiful sunset and great people.  We had such an amazing trip, everything was perfect!
