Our adventures in Puerto Vallarta

We just got back from a week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  It was paradise.  We stayed in a luxurious 4 bedroom/ 4 bathroom condo (shared with the Grandparents and Aunt Diane) that had an amazing balcony overlooking the huge pool and ocean.  It was so nice to get away and relax with the family.  Of course the whole reason we went down there was for Mandy and Jon's wedding (I will post more on this when I get more pictures).  The wedding was in the most beautiful setting I've ever seen.  The whole day was magical and I am so happy for the newlyweds!
This was one view from our huge balcony.  The pool was double the size of this.  There was a heated side and a cold side and lots of shallow areas for the kids to play.  Needless to say, the kids both swam all day every day.  Rylee graduated from water wings to swimming all on her own.  
Many of our days and evenings were spent walking through the marina, daydreaming about which boats we'd like to own.  We visited our favorite coffee shop on the marina almost every morning for coffee and breakfast burritos.  We also ate many delicious dinners there too.  A couple of days we went downtown Puerto Vallarta to explore and shop.  The boardwalk was so much fun to walk along, there were so many things to see.  Rylee loved the clowns and street performers.  We had dinner on the beach a couple of times too which Rylee absolutely loved.  I have way too many pictures to post, so I just picked a few favorites of our family.  The trip was amazing because it was shared with all of our family and close friends.
As I said before, the wedding was amazing.  Rylee and Jon's niece Caitlyn were the flower girls and were adorable.  They had a blast playing on the beach together.  The wedding ceremony took place on the beach and then there was a beautiful candlelit area to eat dinner.  After dinner they put a dance floor and bonfire on the beach.  After the wedding we all continued the dance party on a boat back to town.  What an adventure.
