Mazatlan

Right in the middle of selling, packing and finding a new house to buy chaos...Shane and I had a trip to Mexico planned.  We booked it last spring when we had some airline credit we had to use.  I told Shane 'I want to go somewhere warm in February when I'm so sick of winter here.'  So we booked a trip to Mazatlan.We had no idea at that time that our life was going to be so crazy.  But we still went and had a great time.  We stayed at this great hotel that had a balcony that opened up onto the ocean.



We actually didn't do a lot while we were there.  We slept in every day, ate our meals overlooking the ocean, went shopping, laid under umbrellas on the beach, took walks on the beach, watched the sunset, and sat in the hot tub each night.






One day we did join a tour of the city by bus. It was fun to see different parts of the town.





I wish I would've gotten a picture of our favorite restaurant we went to 3 times while we were there, Gringo Lingos.  They were right outside our hotel and seriously had the best fajitas.  mmm, my mouth is watering just thinking of them again.

Overall though I accomplished what I went there for, enjoy some warmth and sun and relax.  I'm always amazed how much sleep I can get each night and still feel tired that night after doing nothing but relaxing all day.

My parents were nice enough to watch the kids while we were gone and my mom drove them over to preschool each day back and forth.  They had a great time and did so many fun things.  Each day they had a little field trip, puppy barn, McDonalds, Cabela's, Dollar Store, etc.  So they were well taken care of and probably a little spoiled.
