Sayulita

Relaxing on the Pacific coast of Mexico was a heck of a way to spend the last week before Ra returned to work and we starting the tag-team parenting we will be doing for the rest of the year. Most of our days were spent laying around reading, eating and playing with TJ before taking walks into town for more produce and fresh fish. We have piles of pictures, but these are a pretty good capture of the highlights of our time in Sayulita...

There's nothing better to start your morning than some light reading and a bit of baby flying.



Eventually, we motivated to dress and get ready to have a day.



Breakfast and a view.



Navigating down the driveway was never trivial.



TJ and Ra ready for adventure.



The hike into town took us past Playa de los Muertos (Beach of the Dead), named for the adjacent cemetery.



A favorite mausoleum decoration.



Sayulita is in sight!



A variety of protein options were considered.



We settled on smoked marlin burritos at Burrito Revolucion.



While waiting for our burritos, we did a photo shoot of TJ's sweet natural mohawk.



The reward for finishing the hike home via dusty dirt back roads and crazy-steep driveway was a quick shower and more gazing at the amazing view.



View through our open-air bathroom exterior glass walls.



La leche y la cerveza.



Ra cooking dinner in the main house.



White fish under a mango/lime "chutney" with rice and Greek salad.



Sunset view from our dining table.



Mid-day reading siesta overlooking our beach.



FYI - Babies hate sunbathing, even in paradise.



TJ and JT enjoy some time on the outdoor bed.



Uh oh, I sense a flying baby attack...








Babies sure like flying. :)



Chelesa and Carrie work on their sand surfing form before hitting the water.



Ra and Chelesa at Playa de los Muertos prepare to attack their pineapple-mango-cucumber-jicama treat (with chili pepper and lime flavoring).



TJ is strapped in and ready for a dusk jungle hike down to the beach.



Playa Carricitos (the beach below our house)



TJ napping at dusk.

TJ and Chelesa prepare for our final evening in Sayulita.
(FYI - the shirt says "Mysterio predicts I will be a: Romance Novelist)



Fancy final night dinner.

Toasting a perfect vacation.
