Some shots from the jungle river ride *yes, we did see some crocs close up!!*



We have just returned from Paradise! Paradise Village that is, in Nuevo Vallarta Mexico! We loved it... it honestly could not have been a better time to go. When we left Philadelphia is was 10 degrees, when we hit the Atlanta airport it was 15 degrees, and when we later landed in Mexico-- it was 80+ degrees! We spent an entire week beachside swimming in the pool, building sand castles with the kids, and boogie boarding in the Pacific Ocean. We ate amazing food and Juanita and I spent a lazy afternoon at the spa. For the first time, Nate was a little afraid of the pool at first. He was quick to warm up to it and by the end of the trip he wanted in at every chance. He did great on every leg of the plane trip EXCEPT the last....let's just say the little devil in him made a brief appearance, much to our dismay!

Ahh, wish we were back in the sands of Mexico...but tomorrow it's back to reality AND work. Enjoy the pics!
