Hola

This is our family's month long blog for our trip in Sayulita, Mexico. A small surf town 35 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta.

Adios Sayulita

I don't really know what to say...What a month!! The culture shock and adjustment going home are going to be difficult. The time that we were able to spend together as a family on this adventure will be unforgettable. I have watched Alex and Trace become different, confident and strong little people. It has been awesome to hear them pick up the language and use it, the joy that they have every day and the friends they have made. We did have "moments" almost every day but they walked everywhere for a month, played hard, ate hard and slept hard. We pretty much ran them into the ground and they did really well.

I am very sad to leave. I am going to miss so much about this place. The vibe, the people, the friendliness, weather, fresh food and lots of it, mexico time, hanging at the beach every day with the family, sleeping in and cuddling with the kids every morning, doing yoga atop of the hill with 300 degree views of the ocean, the noise that I have become so accustomed to, such as the music, dogs and roosters all night long, not knowing what time it is and not caring, waking in the middle of the night to go downstairs outside to the bathroom and looking at the most beautiful sky.



Thank you John and Amy, Summer and Ragilio, for being there, taking care of us and helping us to navigate our way as well as all of the lunches, dinners and snacks your fed us and our children and to Nainoah, Kaikoah and Ava for being Alex and Traces friends, playing with them and sharing all of your toys.

Now, back to PC, snow and Delta. Damn

Happy Birthday Ozzy! Love, Ashley

  2. Hi My name is Jenna Koens. I absolutely loved reading your blog. My family and I(Husband and 18 month old) are thinking about relocating from Canada to Sayulita. We were also thinking about trying it out for a month as a test run. Is there any possible way we could be in contact over email? I'd love to make some connections with other people who have children there and talk about your experience.

    my email address is jennakatz96@gmail.com
