Last Beach Day...

Seth and I went to the Reef Club a couple of days before we left to experience beach day just one more time. We rode our bikes over and just hung out on the chairs for a few hours. We did attempt to play in the water a bit, but the water was way too rough. We had a great time just

Reef Club...

One of the benefits of living in Playacar is the use of the Reef Beach Club which is an all inclusive hotel inside Playacar that caters to the budget traveler who still wants to have it all. Honestly, if I were to do all inclusive, I'd probably go this route because it really is a nice hotel. They have two pools, restaurants, water activities, and a nice section of beach area. Seth and I

One of Many...

Living in a tourist town, a day doesn't go by that we don't see an abandoned building that used to be a restaurant, tourist shop, cafe, etc. But there is one building in Playacar, in particular, that I just can't believe has been empty for so long. Its located on the resort side right next to all the

Evening Ride in Phase 1...

A week after Taelyn and I got back from the States, Mexico sprung forward, and we gained an hour. We love this because we have more daylight in the evening and can go out for rides and walks when its cooler. One night, we decided to ride over to Playacar Phase 1 which is right on

Guess Who Got a New Bike Seat?...

We've had our bikes for almost a year now, but we rarely use them. We had my mother-in-law bring a baby trailer when she was visiting in May. But, alas, one of the wheels was broken, and we had to wait until we went back to the US for to get the replacement part. By the time we got the replacement part, Seth got busy with work, and it never got fixed. So we have a brand spankin' new bike trailer sitting in the guest room. Oh bother!

My property manager came across an awesome bike seat at one of the sports stores on sale. Don't you know I went right up and bought it because bike seats are darn expensive here! It doesn't matter if your a local or expat, you're still paying a pretty penny for one. Most of them are cheap grey plastic with no cushion. This one

Golf Course Fun...

After we got back from the freezing cold US, Seth and I decided to spend some time outside with Taelyn. The community we live in, Playacar, circles a beautiful golf course with beautiful grass (of course). Although, it has lots of sidewalks, the one thing it lacks is just plain 'ol grass for

Mayan Ruins in Playacar...

One of the great things about Playacar is that they there are pockets of ruins throughout the entire area. Its so neat for us when we are walking at night to see these small artifacts right on the

On Our Evening Walk...

Because the baby is just a pinch colic in the evening, Seth and I have made it a habit to go on a walk so we don't loose our sanity or what is left of it. Its nice walking around the different neighborhoods of Playacar and seeing how each one is unique to itself even though we are all one big neighborhood of Playa. Last night, we walked through Playacar Phase 1 which is right on the beach and has the most beautiful and unique homes. We found ourselves roaming endlessly just enjoying the beach, houses, ruins, and surroundings. Before we knew it, two hours had

And So Our Story Begins...

We are finally here! After living in Panama for 10 months, we realized it just wasn't the place for us. We are originally from Texas so moving to Mexico was not originally on the list because we felt like we wanted to experience a different viewpoint other than Mexican. However, its funny how when you move away from what's familiar, you don't realize how
