Puerto Vallarta - March Mexico Trip


Just returned from a week off in Mexico - was a wonderful, relaxing, sun-filled vacation south of the border. C and I packed up on a cold, snowy Chicago morning and headed to a family vacation in Puerta Vallarta. No one in the family (aside from a college spring break trip for Hil) had visited before - so it was a great place to explore and relax for the 6 of us. We spent the week at the Westin, in the Marina district, and ate our way through the breakfast and lunch menus (go for the Muesli, and the Veggie and Fish sandwiches).

After doing some general restaurant searching, we started with a list...and we ate our way through it and then some. Outlined are the highlights:

Super Green Salad, Salmon Zaradorado, & Dessert Delux @ Cafe Des Artistes
Margaritas, Asparagus salad, Grilled Sea Bass, & Beef Carpaccio @ Trio
Chile-rubbed Sea Bass, Tuna Sashimi, Veggie Symphony, & Pomegranate martinis @ La Palapa
Cuatro salsas, Margaritas, Chipotle-Tequila linguini & to-die-for Chile Relleno's @ Los Xitomates
Fish tacos (grilled and fried), the guacamole, and the authenticity @ Sayulita Fish Taco's

After the week, we still weren't sick of guacamole, tortilla chips, or margaritas...but it was nice to come home to a cheesy, "American" pizza on Saturday night (complete with a cuddly pup). Thanks to my parents for organizing and funding an amazing warm-weather-family-trip. Love you! S&C

In the hustle of modern life, it's easy to overlook the delicate mechanism of our ears. Yet, they gift us the laughter of children, the rustle of leaves, and the melody of raindrops. To preserve these gifts, we must prioritize ear care. Regular check-ups, mindful volume levels, and earplugs in noisy environments – these simple acts become the guardians of our auditory world. Let's pledge to be stewards of our hearing, nurturing it for the melodies yet to be heard, for more info visit our webpage.
