Puerto Vallarta

In May, Troy and I celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary.  We had always said that for our ten year anniversary we wanted to take a trip together.  Our idea of a great vacation is a tropical location with a beach and a pool.  We did some research and settled on Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  Neither of us had ever been there before and did not disappoint.  We loved it so much.  It was honestly one of the best weeks of my life.  We had such a blast together, did a lot of relaxing and fell in love with this beautiful city.  Every morning we woke up to this.....


And spent our days relaxing by the pool......


And walking the beach.........


Each morning we sat out on the balcony of our room and read Scripture and prayed together, while hearing the ocean.....perfect.


And, we did a lot of eating:)  One of our favorite things was the unbelievable breakfast buffet at our resort. It made our mornings very happy.

My plate.....yes, those are chocolate chips on my waffles.

So good!

We took cabs every time we went from our resort to restaurants.  At first, this made me a little nervous, but ended up being a lot of fun and gave us an adventure everyday. 

Wind blown look....cab drivers liked to drive with the windows down.  Why use the air conditioner when you can have fresh air?

Back to the food....lots of good food.  Including El Arrayan and some wonderful Mexican food.


The restaurant with the most beautiful setting was La Palapa.  Right on the beach.....our feet where in the sand while we ate.  And from our table we saw this.....

Delicious food

Beautiful Puerto Vallarta sunset

Ending with a wonderful dessert

Some nights we went searching for our dessert.  One night we found a crepe stand and made it to a cab right before the rain started.


Other nights we would get a sweet treat back at our resort.


Each restaurant we went to had such good food and the warmest people at each of them.  And always beautiful sunsets.

When we weren't eating we were back at the pool.....


or at the beach......


This trip was a dream come true for us.  Like I said, one of the best weeks of my life celebrating ten of the best years of my life.




Thank you, Puerto Vallarta, for giving us wonderful memories and helping us celebrate something so special to us.  We hope to be back someday.  Right now we are ready for decades more.
