Honeymoon in Mexico (November 2010)

Is this not the cutest picture or what? This totally takes me back to "yester year." We went to a school parade the first day we were in Mexico. Miraya played her clarinet with her marching band in the town parade. Oh it was classic! Miraya is indeed the tall teenage girl in the center of this picture. My little girls are growing up so much!

We found this very fascinating. This is side walk mosaic in the streets of the capital of Veracruz.

We went to a very neat presentation at the city library in Veracruz. It was a display on the legacy of peace. These are the men that the displayed life histories and their legacy of peace. It was very education indeed.

Mexico's "Dollar Tree." Enough said.

We had another wedding cake! We had a wonderful dinner with the family in Veracruz. They bought us this cake and adorned it with a bride and groom. ;)

This was an amazing water park. It was a school day so we has the park practically for ourselves. I wish I would have taken a picture of the water slide, but imagine you see a huge cement dragon with water slides coming off at every end. The water temprature was perfect! Oh there's nothing like escaping the winter blues of Utah to go back home to Mexico!

Ok the pool is one thing, but the STINKY hot spring is another... wasn't about to jump in that water!

We absolutely loved our trip to Mexico. It was just what we needed!

Honeymoon... with the Family? (Nov 2010)

Yeah, I know, it sounds a bit "no right" but it's not exactly what it sounds like. ;) We did get the pleasure of going home to Mexico in November to visit with the family and also spend some time alone in addition to our weekend honeymoon in Snow Bird. We had a blast! We went white water rafting (no photos included since a CD cost $50, yeah right!), spent time relaxing at the beach, rode bikes near the family's house in Las Vigas, and of course, played with the familia. One particular place we enjoyed was an awesome water park in Veracruz. We also had the chance to visit Puebla and visit with family and friends. Oh did I mention the food was delicious! We probably ate more fried plantains and beans than our tummies could handle, but they were so addicting! Oh, it's always great to go back! * I don't get the underline deal here, can't take it off.
