A jaunt to Puerto Vallarta

We took a quick trip down to Puerto Vallarta at the tail end of our time in Mexico, to have some fun on the coast and to meet up with Carl’s grad school friend Victor and his family, who relocated there from DC during the pandemic. We rented an AirBnB that turned out to be within a rather beautiful resort on the beach. The kids had a blast in the many pools, with Willa making fast friends with some other kids, and we explored the harbor and the coastline. We went on a fishing boat one morning, where we saw a number of whales. The highlight for me and Carl was a night when the kids had a sleepover, and we went further south to a cove at sunset. There, we took paddle boards out into the dark, paddled through caves covered in sea birds, and delighted in the bio-luminescence that showed up more and more as the sky darkened.
