We had a fabulous time in Puerto Vallarta last week. Because Todd is busier in the summer, we take our vacations in the winter. The weather there was great. No teenagers or college kids partying, just alot of "snowbirds"! They couldn't understand us, and we couldn't understand them! All I had to say was "Texas" and they chuckled. I got a kicked out of them saying their "o's"! "When we get home we have to shovel the snow", they would say! Although the water wasn't as clear or the sand as white like in the Carribean, Todd and I decided that we like the Pacific side much better. We stayed outside all day Sunday and did not break a sweat! The mornings were cool, but by 10am everyone was out in there bathing suits.
The girls stayed in the sun all day and of course, got burned! Lindsey's forehead is peeling now! We stayed at the Riu Vallarta. It was so beautiful and so clean.
The sunsets were priceless. We had our pictures taken on the beach at sunset by a local photographer.
Now since the Christmas season is over, I finally got to play around with some canvases that I have had laying around for a few years! You can't tell from the picture, but I used metallic paints, and I textured the canvas before painting it. Maybe you can double click the picture to see what I am talking about! The angel was fun to paint. The canvases below are 7"x9", so I will probably do a larger angel for Christmas.
