It is time again for our annual vacation and this time, we decide it is time to bring along the kids. Our oldest son has been learning Spanish in Pre-K for the last few years. I am so excited for him to practice his skills during our Mexico vacation. Knowing the kids will be in tow, we don't have a ton planned but I know all of us are looking forward to spending quality time together on this first family vacation.

Traveling with kids
As we set out on our family adventure, I am not sure if I am crazy for thinking we could manage two kids (ages 5 and 18 months) on 3 flights over two days or if I am just hypnotized by the thought of dipping my toes in the Pacific and lounging on the beach. I have come armed however with everything I can think of to make the 6 days together go …
Beach Beer Buffet
We made it in one piece and with all of our luggage. It is hot when we land in Puert Vallarta, Mexico. and we can't wait to get out of the airport and settled at the condo.

Then as we drove to our condo on the beach, we passed both Walmart and Sam's Club. Upon unpacking I realized I forgot swim diapers for the baby. My first …
Just lounging around
We are halfway through our vacation and we have spend the better part of two days doing nothing. Well actually we have been doing a lot of relaxing which is exactly what we wanted. Knowing the kids would enjoy the beach and pool as much as anything "special" we could arrange, we try to take advantage of them both every chance we …

When in doubt, do what the locals do
All week I have been feeling antsy about what to do while in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I know there is ziplining and parasailing, snorkeling and swimming with dolphins, as well as taking a boat to a private beach. But all of those sound so exhausting with two young kids.

So we decide to take in Puerto Vallarta for the eyes of a local. After our …
Footprints in the sand
Shuffle your feet in the sand
Today is our last full day here. This morning we head to the very touristy shops at the end of the beach to bargain our way to some deals for families and friends back home.

This afternoon, Kurt and I decide it is our time to play around in the waves. He takes the boogie board to the far left of where we had been the previous few days. We watch …
