Guadalajara, Jalisco

Guadalajara was a blast, I loved being with my family all day everyday. We got to take a quick trip down to Puerto Vallarta and stay at an amazing house with beautiful pools and views of the ocean. I didn't tell anyone this but when we got there on Friday night and we walked down to the beach in the dark and I got so overwhelmed with the smell, beauty and noise of the ocean with the moon shining down that I started to cry, but quickly hid it from my family. I totally think my pregnancy can be blamed for my overwhelming feeling of emotion. It was breathtaking though.

I loved seeing my grandmother who is so beautiful. Looking at her always makes me think how beautiful my mom is still going to be as an elderly woman. I loved being with my great cousins that I love just like my brothers, my opinionated aunt who doesn't take nothing from no one, my hilarious uncles, the smell, the crazy traffic, the great food that always comes in abundance, the stories my mom tells me about all the places her and my dad used to go, the music, the culture, everything. I love that my roots are there, I love Guadalajara.

Here are some pictures for remembering this wonderful 10 day trip.
