Hey Everyone!  I’m glad to be back (well kinda sorta!).  Came back to Vancouver rain!  We all love the warm climate!  Yes, I’m jealous of all of you that live down south!
So I wanted to give you all a full recap with some pictures!  If some of you don’t know, we went to Puerto Vallarta and stayed at the Royal Decameron Complex.  It was a good hotel for the price.  On the basic side, but we just wanted a quick and cheap vacation.  So for the price we paid, it was excellent!
When we arrived, it was still afternoon, so we got changed and headed to the kiddie pool….
Munchkin all ready to go!

Typically, we’d go down to the beach in the morning, then back to the pool for the afternoon.  Here’s some photo’s from when we were down at the beach….

Brent and I took turns getting massages.  It was a little hut right at the top of the beach!

As for food, we did everything, buffets and the restaurants.  For breakfast, I always had a custom 4 egg white omelette with veggies and fresh salsa verde, lunch was usually a salad from the HUGE salad bar with roasted chicken on the side (took off the skin).  Snack was usually some chips fresh salsa, refried beans & guacamole (this was my treat!).  Dinner was usually just some sort of protein and veggies wherever we ate.  Most of the desserts were pastries and cheesecakes (not my favorite).  But I’d try some things, just have a couple bites.  It was actually easy to eat pretty healthy! 
I don’t eat ice cream as it bothers my stomach, but these two liked having some after lunch….

They served it from these little cups, which is GREAT for having a small portion.
I didn’t work out at the gym at the resort.  I felt like I needed a break from working out!  We did a TON of walking.  It was a huge resort.  I wish I brought my BodyMedia (also a pedometer).  We must have walked at least a couple of miles a day.  I sure didn’t want an arm strap tan though 😉

In the evening, a couple nights we went to the shows (which were excellent), but other nights little Miss was too tired.  Here’s some pics of us hanging out after dinner….

Then I packed up the camera in the luggage and the week was already done!!!
It was so nice to get away!  We met some nice people too!  Little Miss had a playmate for the last couple days.  I can’t even count how many times they jumped in the pool together, it was so cute.
Be sure to check out the TV page tomorrow, there will be another delicious recipe video that will be posted!!!!
Enjoy your week! See you on Wednesday for another “Favorite Find”!
