Nuvo Dance convention
12 hours after we got home from Mexico, Maren had her very first dance convention. Welcome to a whole new world, baby!
Her team was awesome and they ended up with "Gold" for their result. Congratulations Team Dolls!

Mas Mas Mexico. Por Favor.
I miss Mexico. I am cold again. I keep turning the heat way up in the car. My kids are choking a little and asking for me to roll the windows down. I have been wearing a scarf and jacket with my flip flops...

Me-xi-co
Let me say that again (this time picture Selma Hayek saying it). Me-xi-co. For one whole week. With my favorite person in the world. Without my next three favorite people. And it was fantastic. We stayed at a sweet house in Nuevo Vallarta with many dear friends and a couple of new ones.
We got up when we wanted. Did whatever we wanted. And no one asked me to wipe them. We did however drive around with the pink Pepto Bismal bottle shining like a gringo beacon on the dashboard of the late model Surburban we were cruzing. Can you say, "Clear and present danger?"
We ate when and what we wanted. This was mostly the homeade fresh (quite limey) guacamole diet. We finally got warm (I have been cold for the last couple of months in *frigid* California). We laid in the sun (OK, that part was just me, but Clay and Rach bonded in the call of "Whitey's Unite!" under their umbrella). Clay did get a minor under the umbrella shade burn. Color!
We saw whales and dolphins. We greeted the sunset each night with our boogie boards, and by that time the water was warmer than the air. We took walks. We had Tacos on the Street in Bucerias. We sneaked into the Four Seasons to use their hot tub and loved watching Alicia squirm when the attendant asked for her last name after the he brought her a lemonade slushy and towel bed. We sometimes spent more time trying to find our dinner spot than time we spent eating our dinner there. We laughed. We took a day trip to a little surf town called Sayulitos and got to see Brad and Scott in matching camo rash guards as they were catching some waves, and a purse with a topless mermaid on it. We had fun bartering with the vendors on the beach. We saw tropical fish in their native habitat while snorkeling. Did I mention we slept in? Then we laid in the sun again? The ladies got hit on by a teenage boy while walking on the beach. Wierd. We played the newlywed game and schooled those fools. We accidentally ate dinner at an all-inclusive condo resort and it only cost us like $12 each (pretty sure that was cash under the table to everyone still on shift that night). One of us got food poisioning. Serves us right.
Yes, we got away from it all. No this is not all the photos, just the ones I have gotten to. Keep posted for when I get them all sorted! I am sure you will stay home all weekend waiting for me.
