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 🙂

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 🙂

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

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

We also made it to the Malecon of downtown Puerto Vallarta -- a good place to spend one of our cloudier days
You have an awesome family – we loved meeting them! I’ve got to get you the shots I took from our dinghy of your dad going up the mast.
