cabo san lucas

First stop Cabo the water is as beautiful as it is in photos. The weather was perfect {low 90’s}, the local food was amazing, I touched every pig insight {Swine Flu… what?}, we got the ugliest tattoos possible {sounded good at the time, regretting it now… the ink is really permanent}, massages on the beach… are you serious? Wayne says Marta has some strong hands, I said I didn’t want to hear anymore.

mazatlan

Second stop Mazatlan we took a water taxi to {stoney island} where we ate the BEST ceviche & shrimp tacos, found blowfish & eels on the beach {gross}, enjoyed the breathtaking views, visited a gorgeous cathedral and drove in a golf cart taxi around town. I thought for sure I was going to die – and not from the Swine Flu. {wink,wink}

puerto vallarta

Third stop Puerto Vallarta I love this place! This was my favorite stop by far. We had the zip line excursion setup this day. We drove in this open back truck/trailer and saw the “real deal” Mexico. Old architecture, beautiful cliff homes, crazy jungle… I love those red flowers that are everywhere. The zip lines were AWESOME, the guys that run it are funny and definitely make the whole experience. I was {senorita freckles} and they were always worried about making Wayne jealous….Um impossible. We rode backwards, upside down, spinning upside down backwards, Mexican sandwich {maybe that was only me..ha ha}, I even got to ride with Wayne one time! I loved it, if you are taking a trip or cruise here check this place out for SURE, worth every penny and more.

cruise ship

Dressing up {Dining}

We had lots of fun getting all dressed up. The sunsets were gorgeous, the food was delicious and the company was hilarious! I loved the group we “cruised” with, this was my virgin cruise and they showed me how it is DONE.

The Ship {Can we say HUGE}

The ship was amazing and BIG. There was ice skating, rock climbing, mini golf, basketball, dodge ball, ping pong, hot tubing, swimming, soaking the sun and the list goes on! The Ice Show was “off the hook!” Those girls had AB’s of steel and were unbelievable. We got a “couples massage” the first night, it was the BEST.

Casino {Poker Tournament}

Our friend won the poker tournament and will be cruising again {for free} in December for the final tournament and 100 grand pot! Ummmm – yes I’m definitely jealous. Too bad Wayne doesn’t play poker or doesn’t like to spend money gambling. ;)

Wayne and I just got back from Mexico...

NO we didn't get the SWINE FLU.

YES Wayne took AMAZING pictures, lots of posts to come and I mean lots. :)

tillamook cheese factory - dang!

Ah... we can't forget the amazing tillamook cheese factory! The best ice cream ever... we got the 5 sampler bowl - so good!

oh man, I thought it was going to be impossible to get everyone in this picture.

oregon beaches are gorgeous...

I mean seriously... can it get better than that? Maybe if it would have been warm enough to wear our bathing suits. I loved the beaches and couldn't get over how gorgeous they were! WOW

We stayed in the cutest beach house in a town called "Seaside". It was cute, quaint and right by the beach. The house was straight from a magazine - relaxing!! We had so much fun hanging out, going to the beach, BBQ'ing and sitting in the hot tub.

the coast...

Wayne and I just got back from a vacation with his family to the coast. Multnomah Falls is seriously amazing! I loved the hike up and the day couldn't have been better. I was so impressed with all the kids who practically ran up the hike! A lot more pictures to come... but for now.

Hot Dates . Sushi . New Scarf

{ 3 things I love }

Hot dates with Wayne – I love dressing up and going to his fancy dinners (next time I'll get some pictures with the hot date... so HOT)

Takashi Sushi – I’m in love with the Caribbean roll, still not as good as {KK}

Shopping – we have some amazing vacations coming up and I seem to be doing a lot of shopping... and I mean a lot.
