{Puerto Vallarta}

Well Hello!
Guess what....
I am finally feeling much better!!! WOOHOO!!! I can say...hands down...i've never been that sick before!
I am still waiting for word on what bug I caught on vacation but the important point is....I am MUCH better:)


I thought i'd share a few of my favorite things from Puerto Vallarta! I know I always love it when you share your beachy photos on your blog! You know I live for soaking up your beachy photo when it's in the depths of winter here in the Midwest!


But now I am SOOO happy to be able to share my very own beachy pictures with you in January!
Hope you enjoy:)

Puerto Vallarta was just beautiful!

Have you been there before?!!? It was my first time and it won't be my last time.

We stayed at Krystal...all inclusive! {not 5 star and not 0 star..} Nice ..very nice and we stayed in an oceanfront room and loved it! But we actually didn't hang around there long....well except for our daily game of Uno complete with lots of cocktails! It got pretty intense at times....our game of Uno that is:):)

Every evening we enjoyed a fabulous dinner somewhere overlooking the ocean! Amazing views...Amazing views and definitely not touristy areas!

If you ever go to Puerto Vallarta I can help you out with some fabulous dinner recommendations! I don't think we were dissapointed once!

Here were a few of our favorite places:

Chez Elena

{i'll add more later when I figure out the names of the places we ate at:) }

There is just so much character in Puerto Vallarta! Everything was just so beautiful.
The streets were all cobblestone in Old Town.....makes for an interesting cab ride with wine in hand!

But to really see everything...you just have to get out there and explore! There is so much to see...I would definitely stay away from the touristy areas like the Malecon {which is part of Old Town but a different part} and head straight to old town kind of behind the Malecon.

I loved the people of Mexico....so friendly!

and they love to bargain with you! Well...some might like to take advantage of you...but not most!

You could buy the most beautiful things right on the beach!
I didn't come home with anything...well unless you count my stomach bug. But I saw lots of things that I wanted:)

OH fine....I wanted to come home with one of these....but didin't:(

 

If you go to Puerto Vallarta...make sure you spend a day/evening pub crawling at the marina! FUN!

Oh and I think my {step} sister-in-law and I decided that this house would make an amazing bed and breakfast {see....always dreaming}! The place was abandoned....it was up in the mountains and across the river from the zip line tours. We snuck up and looked in all the windows! AMAZING! Too bad it's just sitting there in ruins:(

I think it had four floors with tons of patios! I know I would more than happily move the Simple Daisy studio to Puerto Vallarta!

See....it's beautiful! Lush...Pretty...In the mountains...and on a river! Would you come stay in The Simple Daisy Bed and Breakfast!! heehee:)

Geesh with all this talk dreamy vacation talk I need some.....you guessed it...
WINE! Too bad I can't have any for the next 7 days while I am on my tummy bug medication:(
Pictures will have to do for me!

Well and you have to go see Los Arcos! Next time we go...I want to kayak around them! Beautiful!

but really ....even on vacation...i'm just a simple girl who LOVES the beach the most:)

and notice....I carried my happy little bag that I made! I also collected some driftwood! If the people from Puerto Vallarta only knew what they could do with driftwood ! There is TONS of it on the beach! I mean you could take a pickup truck and fill with with driftwood! I will definitely pack differently next time we go!! A driftwood collecting I will go!

We had so much fun and I am more than thankful to have such fun people in my life!!

Next time you're planning a vacation to Puerto Vallarta send me an e-mail if you have any questions:)
and I have a sneaking suspicion we'll be back with everyone next Christmas!!!!!!!!!


Stay tuned for a Simple Daisy give-away!!! Yippee!!! Do you have a favorite you would like to win!?!?
