Cancun

Mark and I returned from a week long vacation in Cancun, Mexico on July 12th. We stayed at the Omni Hotel right on the beach and had a great time. The view from our hotel room was awesome! We had an all inclusive package, and took advantage of the yummy daiquiris and pina coladas that were included.


We took an all day trip to Chichen Itza (Mayan Ruins), visited a natural sink hole (Cenote), and had a buffet lunch with authentic Mayan food. We also went scuba diving at some coral reefs off the coast of Isla Mujeres, took a wave runner tour, went snorkeling, and took a ride on an aqua twister (high speed jet boat). We were on the go so much, we felt like we needed a vacation from our vacation. The weather was great, other than the 90% humidity all week (yuck!). We have now returned to our daily routines and await our next adventure.

4th of July Weekend

On Wednesday, just before the 4th of July weekend we had the pleasure of welcoming Isabella (Mark's mom) back to Arizona. Isabella came out for a visit and to babysit the 'granddogs' during our vacation in the week to come.

On the 4th of July, we bbq'd at our house with our neighbors Reggie and Tracee. We actually got to see a few fireworks from our backyard. The following day we took Isabella and drove up to Sedona to do some sightseeing. We ate lunch at the Oak Creek Brewery, toured the Chapel of the Holy Cross, and then attended mass at St. John Vianney Catholic Church. Sedona has become one of our favorite places here is Arizona, though there are many more places to see.

Hello!

Hello and welcome to our blog. Since Mark and I moved from San Diego, CA to Laveen, AZ at the beginning of 2006, our life together has been very happy and exciting, and better yet, very busy. We plan to use this blog to keep our family and friends up to date on what is going on in our lives. Stay tuned for more.
