Mexico

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Alex and I went down to Texas for less than 24 hours to spend Thanksgiving with my family and then we jetted off to Mexico. Alex's brother Michael and his long time girlfriend, Rachel, of 10 years were married in Puerto Vallarta. We arrived in Mexico on Friday afternoon and it was beautiful..80 degrees and sunny. The wedding was at the resort Golden Crown Paradise, where the 17 of us all stayed. During the afternoon, everyone pretty much did their own thing and then we would meet up for dinner and Sexy Spanish Coffee!! You could usually find Alex and I out by the pool - we were soaking up as much sunshine as we could before we had to go back to snow-filled Chicago.










On Saturday night, the Brieles hosted a gorgeous dinner at The Kliff, a restaurant that was absolutely breathtaking. The restaurant was on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and was surrounded by mountains on each side. The ambiance and food couldn't have been any better for this festive occasion.






The happy couple was married beach side on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.. The joyous ceremony was filled with Jewish and Mexican traditions. The biggest bummer was that Alex got major food poisoning and had to miss the ceremony but his spirit was definitely there.










We were sad to leave Mexico, but we both left with great memories and a tan!
