This year is our 25Th wedding anniversary and we celebrated by taking another trip back to Mexico.
We went to an all inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta called the Riu. We stayed a week and really had a very relaxing time. The weather was a bit chilly in the evening but the days were great. Long walks on the beach with the sun in your hair, never having to worry about cooking, cleaning, answering the phone, taking kids to school, running errands, buying groceries, cleaning, putting out fires, doing laundry, did I mention cleaning. I think you get the idea. It is always wonderful to go away and leave the cares of life behind you and let someone else pamper you.
This year on our trip we ventured out to go on an excursion. We traveled high in the remote wilderness of the Sierra Madre mountains for an expedition called a canopy tour. Hanging bridges built in the trees set up the back drop for you to swing from tree to tree like the Swiss Family Robinson's. Safety is their number one priority as you fly on zip lines and rappel from tree to tree. I did feel like I was on "Fear Factor" at first because I am not that found of heights, but it turned out to be a good experience for me.
Although it was something I will never forget doing, I think I prefer to stay on the ground for my entertainment.
Since having the two babies this year, I will admit that I had a hard time not thinking about them the whole time I was gone. When we returned, we were greeted by our grandson Kaiden who at first kept looking at us like, "I know these peoples voices but they sure don't look like my grandparents". It took him awhile to realize yes, it really was us even though our skin was a little brown.
Next year we are planning on going to the Caribbean and exploring some other places we have not been.
That's all for now.
