Cruising


Grandpa Bell, Stephen, Tom and I all went on a CRUISE!
It was a beautiful day as we set onward to the ocean.

We were going to be sure to find ways to relax on our seven day adventure.
And saw some beautiful sights and clear water.
The first stop was Cabo San Lucas.






There were some awesome waves on the ocean side of this beach and around the corner where 
our water taxi dropped us off it was quite calm (in the bay) and everyone was on the 
beach, or in the water with a dozen water taxis coming and going.
Dangerous riptides here.
You can see our cruise ship and the water taxis and jet skis and everyone enjoying the water.
Early morning coming into the port.
As we walked through the market and tourist section EVERYONE was asking us 
"You want to go fishing?"  So after Grandpa got tired of walking he found 
a lone chair outside a shop and took a rest . . .then started asking everyone as they walked by,
"You want to go fishing?"  . . .Well it was quite funny if you had been there! :)
We took a tour of the Glass Blowing Factory.  This was a beautiful floor in the shop showing of
beautiful designs with glass.  Time consuming and beautiful.
We stood and watched these two men made the glass sculpture. 
They were quick and it was quite nice.





Walking on the boardwalk area of Puerto Vallarta.  Lots of artists
dancers and acrobats trying to entertain us and make
a few bucks .  It was quite entertaining indeed.

We had a great time. It was very relaxing. The food was good . . too good. Ate too much
of course.  The rooms were nice.  The shows were enjoyable. We read our books
in our lounge chairs, played settlers of catan and rumicube. Had unlimited soft ice cream cones.
And had the chocolate buffet for lunch on Friday (well I did). 

And enjoyed our time with Stephen and Grandpa Bell.

Kim and Andrew visit Cali . . .

What a beautiful day we had here near Laguna Beach.  We found a couple of beautiful places
to view the ocean and observe marine life. Very much different from Huntington Beach.
We had a very nice visit from Kim and Andrew during their spring break.
I'm still waiting for photos from our electric bike tour that were to be sent
to us. It was a fun tour.  I gotta say I like the electric bike but I'm not sure it gives me
the exercise I need.  :-)  It was fun to learn about the Santa Monica and Venice Beach areas.
More about that later. . . I hope.
Thanks again Kim and Andrew for coming to visit.  Sorry about the extended
car ride to the Hollywood sign. . . I promise to be better next time.

Grandsons!






Guess what I got to do while Ashton and Weston's Mommy was having

2 healthy twin baby boys?

Grandma got to have fun with her
2 big boys!

Here are some of things we did. . . .




Lunch at COSTCO! Grandpas favorite.


Fly kites! . . . . Are they not the cutest ever? I didn't even see that Ashton
had his arm around Weston. I was too busy snapping the photo and hoping they wouldn't let GO of the Kite!







Play in the park.


Flying our new planes found in Grandmas . . ........treasure box!



A visit from Nephi and Ruby which included a sunset walk
