Me and my cute kids and our messy house!

Riviera Maya, Mexico Day 1

We drove to Vancouver, where we left the kids with Gammi and Papa, from there we went to my twin sisters house and stayed the night.  We woke up super early and one of my brother-in-laws friends took us to the airport! We wanted to have a vacation drink at Portland International Airport but it was to early and no one served alcohol. :( we boarded our plane and headed to our next destination which was Phoenix, and yes there we got to have our start of vacation drink!!

We made it to Cancun! And there we boarded a bus for a very long ride to the Playa Del Carmen area!

Once we arrived we checked in at the Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe and headed to the buffet for some very much needed food! 

After eating we walked around and explored the area! Very Beautiful resort!

We then headed up to the rooms for the night, which were amazing!

Our new Harley Road King!

So my husband has been riding for awhile but on a V-Star, a Harley wasn't really in our budget until just recently. I rode with him on occasion on the V-Star, when we could find a baby sitter. But now that we have the Harley we have both been getting into it way more! I was completely against riding, I felt that it was just to dangerous for both of us to be doing when we had kids. Finally one day he talked me into going on a ride and I was hooked!! It is the most freest feeling ever! And when you ride you smell everything, the flowers the trees the air and even all the bad smells, but it makes the experience so much more realistic! We now get a babysitter and go riding every Thursday night!

My husband just recently went on a trip with two of his buddies over Washington, down through Oregon and California, Through Death Valley (which by the way he thought he was going to die from heat there) to Las Vegas and then up through utah and Idaho to back home again!

Fourth of July 2012! (a little late in posting)

For Fourth of July this year, we met up with some friends at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg Idaho. They have an indoor year round water park and in the winter skiing and other snow activities. We got two days in the water park and a spectacular fourth of July fireworks show. The rooms were nice and clean and very pretty. My only complaint is the lack of places to eat after dinner time. When we walked back to our rooms for the night we were all hungry and they didn't have room service or any restaurants on the resort open. So we had to drive to the near by town for food.
