More cats, more al pastor…more Puerto Vallarta
We were glad to have a kitchen in our condo, and we used the blender to make the most incredible smoothies with fruit from the local market. We went on a pirate ship adventure. It sounded kind of cheesy, but I read a ton of reviews that said it was fantastic, and not at all…

We had an early flight to Cancun, so we decided to stay in LA the night before to make the morning easier. We booked the Cambria LAX because they have an option to leave your car there while you travel. Liam liked the Bluetooth speaker built into the mirror. We had to get up around…
