Panama!

Well, we have returned safely from our trip to Panama. My mother and father and took me to Guatemala while I was in her tummy. Now our little guy will have a cool story to tell about Central American travel while he was in mommy's tummy too!

The wedding for our good freinds Schana and Jorge Canto was superb! We were so happy we made the trip to celebrate with our best friends and spend some time on the beach, in the pool and seeing the beautiful countryside (see the pictures below).

It was a rather long trip for us - it only takes about 4 hours to Panama from Houston, but we had to fly in from San Antonio and then connect, so it was about 7 hours going and then 9 hours returning. Once we arrived in Panama, we got on a bus that took us through Panama City and then on another 2 hours to our beach destination at the Royal Decameron resort. Jonathan said I truly was a trooper enduring the travel and making the two hour bus ride without a bathroom break! The food and the humid heat were the hardest part of the trip for me, but it was worth it.

The wedding was about 45 minutes from the resort at Jorge's mother's home. It was absolutely beautiful to see what his mother and sister created on their lavish property for the ceremony and reception. They live in a town called Agua Dulce, which translated means "Sweet Water" and the water is truly one of the best, purest waters in the world. At the ceremony, there was a performance by local dancers and singers to bring in some of the Panamanian culture - they were fantastic!

We had a wonderful time and were so happy to be with our closest friends for a long weekend away before the little man makes his debut - which is due in just 7 weeks and one day!
