Viva La Mexico

Below are some pictures from the Mexico trip we went on the week of March 16th. We stayed at a resort community called Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta outside of Puerto Vallerta and it worked out great. We rented two places to commodate all of us- one of which was this great 4 bedroom villa where Corey and I plus my sister Karen, her hubby Kevin and their two kids Nate (4 1/2) and Vivian (7 months) joined us from N.C. along with my cousin Matt, his wife Shelley and their twins Kylie and Bryce (15 months) stayed. The trip was a blast but with a minor set back of the stomach flu that basically hit everyone for about 24 hours throughout the trip. From traveling to this great little surf town called Salulita, snorkeling in Mismaloya, canopy ziplining in the forest of PV, to exploring downtown we all had lots of fun. As you can see from the pictures below it didn't set us back too much in the fun department!

Mackenzie & Adam's Wedding- Fort Lauderdale

Mac & Adam's wedding weekend was spectacular back in Fort Lauderdale the weekend of Feb 27th-Mar 2nd. Corey, Myself, my brother Brian, my cousin Kristi, her husband Justin and a bunch of our friends from CA made the trip. Not only did we get to see my family (ie. my dad, grandfather, etc.) we got to do a bunch of activities around town. Mac decided to get married on Sunday night which actually made for a super fun long weekend. I typically don't feel like we ever have time to enjoy a wedding weekend because the wknd flies by but we had all day Saturday to mess around so it was awesome. Brian's best friend Mike still lives back in FL so he took 13 of us out on his boat all day Sat. until after sunset. The weather was perfect and we all got to start our base tan for Mexico!
