Casa Kruger + Velero Brio = A Week of Family Fun

My mom, dad and sis were here for the last week… while it rained a few of the days they were here (the first rain we’ve seen since before Christmas!), we still managed to have an awesome time with them.

Taking Jess for a quick spin in the dinghy ~ me yelling "hold on!!" while she yelps "faster! faster!"

 

We spent an inordinate amount of time enjoying the luxuries of Casa Kruger -- laundry, hot showers, pressurized water, king size beds, and suede lounge chairs 🙂

 

Jess made lots of little friends everywhere she went

 

We found a favourite lunch spot ~ Huanacaxtle Cafe

 

Mom & Dad enjoying Huanacaxtle Cafe ("Wah-na-kax-lee Cafe")

 

Jess attempted some Linguistics homework (assisted by a Pina Colada or two)

 

Jess & Jon discovered they both have soft spots for homeless cats

 

While Dad and Jon solved all of Brio's issues (here planning the wiring for the Tri Colour light)

 

Jess and I shopped (matching hair flowers care-of-Mama)

 

And we dined (Valentine's Day Lunch)

 

And we took pictures of my uber-awesome dad, up the very very top of the mast, braving rain and waves and a little wind storm to install our Tri-Colour for us (finishing the job I attempted to start back in Mazatlan)

 

We had Kist & Camanoe over for a delicious dinner of Whisky Shrimp Soup & bbq'd shrimp skewers... and had a supremely fun night playing Catchphrase 🙂

 

We also go to go sailing, with the whole familia!

 

Made a quick stop at Las Tres Marietas (was too rough to snorkel, so it was a sight-seeing trip only)

 

Got to tell our stories to a captive audience

 

Dragged my sis on a day sail (hiding from the sun here while she lounges in the cockpit)

 

Caught a couple quick shots of "Kist" as we flew past each other (big thanks to Bonnie for the picture of Brio under sail!!)

 

And tried to take a shot of the family with Brio in the background 🙂

 

We also made it to the Malecon of downtown Puerto Vallarta -- a good place to spend one of our cloudier days

 

...And just thoroughally enjoyed having my family here to visit ~ miss you guys already!
