My 16 year-old daughter Amanda came for a visit during her mid-winter break from school, happy to leave the wet Pacific Northwest behind for a week.  We hadn’t seen her for 6 months so it was great spending time with her.

During her stay, we visited old town Puerto Vallarta, hung out in the pools at Paradise Village, tried boogie boarding and stand-up paddle boarding in the ocean surf, and did a bit of sailing.  Jacintha really enjoyed having her big sister around.  As connectivity via wifi is paramount to a 16 year old, we also hung out at Starbucks in Paradise Village ALOT!
