Home from Mexico and Sketch This 47

I'm Home! The Cruise was soooo much fun! We arrived home Sunday night, but it has taken me a few days to get used to being on land again. I've been dizzy and have had headaches. It's weird not to feel "grounded", but I think I'm finally starting to find my land legs again! LOL!

We had a great time visiting Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas and had the chance to get to know so many fun people. Here are a few snapshots and quick captions from our trip.

Kevin convinced me not to drag my new camera around on our trip. I was sad not to play with it, but on the other hand, I think it would've been cumbersome to take it the places we ended up going.

Believe it or not, this is the only picture I took on the ship! I thought it was so cool the way the ship's backend disappeared into the morning fog.
Our first stop was in Puerto Vallarta. Kevin and I had been there before, so we decided to rent a Jeep to cruise around in and visit a few of our favorite places.
Gorgeous view of the Puerto Vallarta Coast!
We went to Chico's Paradise for Lunch and ended up trying out the Canopy Zip Line Tour.

See that little speck in the sky? That is a person riding the zipline across the canyon. Yep! I did it and it was a blast!




That night we went to Los Arbolitos for dinner with Wayne and Kelly, our new friends. :) Gotta love that Kevin and I ended up with completely cheesy expressions in this one! LOL!

Mmmmmm. Fresh Guacamole!
Small town near Mazatlan. This was the REAL DEAL. Such a cool little Mexican town (I wish I'd written down the name of it!) with an amazing, old church.

Kevin and Jana

We had never been to Cabo before, but I tell ya! After going on a drive and seeing these gorgeous views, we're ready to go back and spend more than one day there!
Check out this gorgeous Public Beach! I'm thinking the kids would love to spend a day here playing in the sand and trying to catch crabs. :)
On the last morning we were greeted home by this beautiful sunrise on the coast of Long Beach, California. Perfect ending to a Fabulous Vacation! :)

Just before I left for my trip I found out that I made Janelle Richmond's Sketch This Layout Design Team! I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Janelle's AWESOME sketches each week! And here is the first one! For this I used Noel Mignon's TreeHouse Kit. (I added the orange patterned paper and journal tag) I experimented a little bit with a heat gun on the Hambly transparency. I really like the way it turned out even though I'm not quite sure how it's going to lay in a sheet protector! LOL! To see the sketch and how the rest of the team interpreted Sketch 47 click HERE. Not only do you get to see several layouts using the sketch, but you see several cards, too! How awesome is that!!!
