Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

{January 27-February 4}

Um I miss the food the most. Everyone knows I LOVE Mexican food. Our FAV place to eat was called Pipi’s. We went 3 times and never were we disappointed and it was always packed. Our other favorite was Victor’s Place. We ate there 4 times. We ate a lot.

My second favorite part were the WHALES. We happened to be there when a few hundred mama whales are teaching their babies the way of life in the bay. We saw a mom and baby almost everyday but one day we actually went whale watching and it was absolutely amazing! Plus the baby put on a little performance for us, which isn’t the norm.

And those were all of just the giant baby.

Mama did give us one splash. Amazing.

We also rented a boat and a captain to take us fishing. The captain’s son helped us. The fish were small but we caught 35!

The gutting and cleaning of 35 fish.

And the result….. The marina grilled up the fish for us. And by us I mean I would never eat one of those fish. Tyler loved them though.

We had a wonderful 8 days together. Puerto Vallarta is definitely a place we would return to and everyone should experience it.

It's 10:00 in the morning and my mouth is watering from those pictures (not of the fish). Mmmm. Looks like you had a blast! Glad you got to get away from the cold for awhile.
