Mexico!!!

Ahhh.... Mazatlan!



This was our welcoming view from our "Tulum" room. I love this view! Mazatlan is probably my most favorite place to visit.


We had so much fun! This picture was taken on our way to the Market, which is my favorite part of the trip, but not Zach's. He would rather be golfing at Estrella Del Mar.


Our mission at the market was to find fresh Shrimp.... so yummy! There are so many crazy things for sale. The most disgusting being pig heads... with the best being passion fruit punch!



Mom always has to get her fresh coconut!

These pictures were taken after church. They have the cutest little ward, and no one speaks English- it's awesome!

Zach had the HARDEST time keeping his eyes open!!!

Here is another example of Zach's closed eyes! We took like 20 family pics, all with Z's eyes closed :)



Our last day there we saw DOLPHINS!!! At first I freaked, I thought they were sharks, but no, just cute dolphins!




Okay, so this is Garff serving during our family beach volleyball game- notice the bunch of drunks next to the court. I accidentally hit a ball over there and knocked over a less than half full bottle of beer. Totally accidental, plus they had been drinking there for 2 hours-totally wasted, and we offered to buy a new one- but they went nuts! Garff and "Hippie Richard" got in a yelling match, the drunks told us that we needed to learn how to play, and we said, you shouldn't sit next to a volleyball court... lots of yelling and swearing on their end and LAUGHING on our end. Wasted people are so ridiculous! Good thing I have big guys in my family- we almost had a brawl! This will make for a good laugh down the road!



Our Taxi!


This was Zach's idea of adventure. He took us to the scariest part of Mexico City- the subway! We just rode around for a while- not a good thing for a bunch of gringos to do. People wouldn't stop staring, it was kinda freaky. But we survived and ended up finding the best sandwiches ever!


In the end, it was the perfect vacation! No Cells, No Email.. and lots of beach time!
