Puerto Vallarta 2008!

We just returned from Puerto Vallarta this past Monday. As usual, we had an awesome...RELAXING...time. We mostly hung out around the pool and the beach but did spend one day in downtown PV. Attached are some pictures from our little vacation.

I will add some narration to a few of the slides.

We were for the first time on the top floor! Room 1811 in the 1st tower. Despite us being told the view wasn't very good (Marina side .vs. Marina View), we had an awesome view of both the marina and Bay of Banderas!







Here, Erika is getting kissed by the resident Sea Lion, "Monico".


At the orientation show, they changed the performances. It was cool to watch.



Kenny LOVES turtles. At the orientation party, they mentioned a turtle walk that we couldn't miss. The following morning, we woke up early to find baby turtles making their initial dart towards the water. The guide, "Jenny", suggested we pick up the baby turles and bring them to the nursery so they don't get "plucked" by the birds. There is a small volunteer crew that monitors the beach as turtles hatch and catch then release in early AM to increase their chances of survival.



Maybe not so strangely, we recognized quite a few folks from prior years. Here is Rachael whom Erika had become good friends with last year.


I enjoy the sunsets. Here are a few pics with me monkeying around with my camera.




Here we are gathered for dinner at Mayapan. Ryan had met his own friends and prefered to spend time with them. Good for him...but he had to eat McDonalds!


Here are some images from our day in downtown PV.
