Family Vacation in Mexico

We were delighted to host my sister Alisa, her husband Joe, and son Dave for a spring break in Mexico.  They wanted to get a taste of our cruising lifestyle AND escape the Colorado & PA winter.  It was a fabulous experience for all of us.

They joined us in LaPaz just in time to celebrate Carnival!  Parades, music, food, and rides all along the malecon.












Then we set sail for Ensenada Grande on Isla Partida for several days of snorkeling, dinghy sailing, kayaking, hiking, and siesta.

Dave tried everything and safely drove Magic out the channel for our trip.

















Alisa and Joe were naturals at kayaking around the bay.


















A hike to the top of the ridge and a prominent white cross -- a monument to a young man from Colorado who died several years ago.  I am not sure this was a hike -- more like a rock scramble!















We also took them to Los Islotes for an opportunity to snorkel with the seals.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Joe and Alisa -- smiling together!













Safely back in LaPaz for dinner out before the morning ride to Cabo airport.  (Honestly, I'm just holding Al's drink while he takes the picture.)
We had a blast!   Thanks to Alisa, Joe and Dave for coming to visit and share memories for a lifetime.
