Viva Mexico
You may not know that I have a love affair with the country of Mexico, it’s people, and it’s language. My husband and I have both traveled extensively, Steven more than I, but we both find this place to be where we as a family feel at home. My kids have been coming down here […]

Water slides, Washed Out Roads, and Wrong Fuel
What Do These Three Things Have in Common? Traveling in Mexico, that is what. Everything changed when we crossed the border. Remember the photos of Steven, siphoning and huffing gas in the past post?
