Ryan and I were blessed to be able to celebrate his graduation and birthday in Nuevo Vallarta for a week, which is about 15 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. If you read our previous post, you'll know that December was absolutely insane, so we were so thankful for an opportunity to relax.
We spent the vast majority of the week resting by the pool or on the beach. Our hotel has one of the largest pools in Latin America, so there was lots to do. They even had a Lazy River, two Wave Pools and a waterslide. Our favorite, though, was just laying in a cabana and reading.
We went to Puerto Vallarta one afternoon to see the Boardwalk. While we were walking around, we came across this large sand-sculpture Nativity scene. It was so neat! I can't imagine how long it took to make it. We had dinner that night with a wonderful view of the sun setting over the ocean.
December through February is whale watching season at that part of Mexico. Humpback whales return to this area every year to mate and give birth. It was amazing to catch glimpses of these enormous creatures.
Our time was great and very relaxing, and we praise the Lord for allowing us to see another part of His beautiful creation!
