Weekends

Well I guess while it's nap time i SHOULD update my blog, given that I haven't in so long.

Well this weekend I'm going to LA for a disneyland wedding. My cousin Trixie and her husband to be Bon. But before I get into that let's cover last weekend:


Adam and I's 5 year anniversary... woooowwww. It feels and seems SO long. 5 years?! that's almost a quarter of my life! and rising.

As a present he arranged for us to go on a prolonged weekend vacation to Mexico! (3 days, 4 nights). It was incredible! We stayed at a really really nice, newly remodeled room at an all inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta here: Sol Melia

One of the days we did this really awesome ziplining adventure tour: Vallarta Adventure
The Outdoor Adventure: first we got picked up at the marina pier for an almost 20 minute speed boat ride practically across the bay. Don't worry guys, my super motion sick self LOADED up on the dramamine. Not a second of motion sick, thank god. A really brief view of all the hotels, and ridiculously large palacial mansions along the coast. Then we got into this huge practically cargo truck to go up this pot hole filled super twisted dirt road. After another 20 minutes being jostled around like crazy we got to the base camp. Harnessed up, helmets on head, gloves in hand, we take a 20 minute trip via MULES to the top of the mountain. Jokingly (I'm assuming) the guides called mine mini cooper. He was a mean ol' mule, running and bumping all the other mules, cutting them off, and scaring the daylights out of me. All I could think the entire time was "I DO NOT HAVE GOOD RIDING HISTORY!" I half expected to die just because I have such poor luck with horses, donkeys, and now mules.

We went ziplining from mountainside to moutainside with the most beautiful views above the tree line of waterfalls and mountaintops. Each line was higher and longer than the last and while at first I was scared, I quickly got over it. my favorite parts were rappelling down a waterfall rock face and getting soaked my the fresh river water. When we got to the bottom of the waterfall we drop into chest deep water and pull ourselves along a rope to the riverside. Incredibly refreshing on such a nice day. And rappelling? I've totally got that under my belt from rock climbing! Then we ziplined from riverside to riverside sometimes landing deep in the water. We walked rope bridges and then free rappelled (without the rock face) down a platform deep into the river. We ziplined and hiked down all the way back to base camp! All in all our tour was around 6 hours. It was incredible and I'd totally go again.

The next day we went to the boardwalk in P.V. and walked around a bit. It was pretty much empty and we headed back through the gasoline scented streets to our hotel. Other than the tour we mostly ate a lot, lounged around a lot, and... That's all.

I still feel like I'm jet lagged even though it's a 2 hour difference. I've been utterly exhausted and horribly hungry at abnormal times. Last night I went to sleep at 10:30!!! And I still wake up tired.

Right now Baby Z is napping and I'm watching TV. Did you know that there's ABSOLUTELY nothing to watch in the middle of the day? Little kid shows, trashy talk shows, and soap operas. Basically, nothing of interest. On animal planet it's practically Pet Star all day. Which is seriously the most boring show EVER to disgrace animal planet. On TLC it's baby story ALL day, who really wants to watch 30 minutes of a couple waiting for their baby and then its birth? ewwww, if you ask me. Discovery channel plays cash cab for awhile and then the driest episodes of How It's Made. You can only watch how things are made for so many hours before the machines are pounding, punching, and stamping boredom into my brain. Crappy MTV shows suck out any IQ I previously had. Other than the lack of good TV babysitting is good as always. How can one NOT love babysitting a usually happy baby that looks so excited to see me everytime?

What else is there to add? Oh, I got a super 8 camera for Adam for our aniv. from Ebay. I was told it would work but Adam has yet to test it. Here's to crossing my fingers!

Baby Z's nap should be ending soon, maybe I should try and squeeze in a few minutes of sleep myself before she wakes. Oh, and if you're wondering about any pictures from Mexico: We didn't take any. Hopefully I can get SOMETHING ineresting up here eventually.

PS: The MTV show exiled where they send away sweet 16 mega spoiled brats to "hard" conditions is totally lame.
