Photo Extravaganza Part 2 (Mexico)

My skin is peeling, but the tan is holding.  Here are some photos from our awesome trip:

This is the view from the hotel our first night (Ixtapa).  Also, here:

Tony on the private beach in front of the hotel.  And me:

Ixtapa had the most fantastic sunset.  The rest of the trip, we weren’t oriented well (the Zihuatenejo beach faced south, and there were cliffs to the west hiding the sunsets) for sunset viewing, so I’m glad we got a good one on the first day.

We faced the ocean and had a room overlooking the pool.

On the bike ride, before Tony ate pavement.

The crocodiles were stinky, and a totally anticlimactic end to the bike ride.

Soaking it up on the last day.

 

We can’t thank our parents enough for taking care of Charles so we could go on this trip.  He’s not teething anymore, so maybe the next time will be better for the grandparents.  You know, if they’re even willing to have a next time.

Our computer died, then was resurrected, then it died again, and now it’s back, but I don’t trust it.  Also, it managed to pass a disease to our external hard drive.  Which died.  And has not, as yet, come back from the dead.  So, I might have permanently lost all photos taken during Charles’ first year of life.  Hooray for me!

 

Anyhow, to make a long story about why we haven’t posted in ages short, we have been busy and I haven’t trusted any computer enough to upload photos from my camera.  So now they are on a thumb drive and my work computer.  And now here!  The following are from before our vacation to Mexico:

Tantrums.  We experience them a lot.  And we laugh.

Yardwork is tough, but somebody’s got to do it.
