Puerto Vallarta

We recently had the good fortune of spending 11 days in Puerto Vallarta.  It was our first time there and, wait for it......my very first passport stamp!  (I know, I know - that's embarrassing, but I was very excited.)  Although it was very hot and humid there in June, we loved it.  The Marriott Casa Magna was beautiful and Banderas Bay spectacular.  

But what really made the trip for us was how friendly all the people are.  Although we spent a lot of time just lounging around the hotel and enjoying the magnificent view, we did venture out to the local community, took the local bus downtown as well as the bus up to Sayulita for a day.  Everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming and left us wanting to go back.

With no further commentary, here are my photos.

Colorado and San Francisco - May 2014

Took a trip to Colorado in May - Highlands Ranch, Golden, and Haxtun - and then a week later went to San Francisco.  Got to see all of our kids and most of the grandkids (Mackenzie was away at college) in a two-week timeframe.  Great trips!



Colorado


Grandparenting is so much fun.



**Mason thought bubbles**  

"What is that on Jeni's eye?"



"How long do you suppose she'll let me poke her in the eye?"



"I wonder if that stuff comes off - fascinating."



"Think I'll take a closer look."



"Nope, I guess it doesn't come off."





The cool kids - Savannah and Rod.  



Got to go to Skyler's awards assembly.  Well done, Skyler!





One of my favorite shote - beautiful blue eyes.



Birthday party for Savannah.


















Guess who was the best babysitter of the day.















In a year he'll be playing games on this iPhone, not chewing on it.



Mother's Day present from Kenny and Colby!




Last day in Colorado.  You knew it had to happen.





San Francisco

Enjoyed chillin' and chattin' with Daryl and Ryan in Golden Gate Park.




Showed the guys how to make a clover necklace.















View from our hotel room in the financial district - so cool.




Had a couple great dinners with Daryl and Ryan - and enjoyed going out to "Swig" where Daryl was DJ'ing.









We had a fantastic time with everyone.....and yet it's always good to be home.
