Guatemala, Part 5

We ended our vacation with a trip to Lake Atitlan, where we went directly after leaving Irtra. It is so serene and scenic! Our hotel had the most lovely gardens. When we first arrived we went straight out to the gardens and had some local girls dress all of our families up in this typical Guatemalan dress. It was so fun! Brighton convinced her dad to buy hers for her to wear next year for Halloween. That night Pop stayed in the hotel room with all 3 baby monitors while the kids slept and the adults relaxed (and laughed, a LOT) in the hot tub overlooking the volcanoes.



The next morning we took a 1 hour boat ride across Lake Atitlan to do some local shopping where we were also able to take a "tuk-tuk" ride and the kids got to do some bargaining for "treasures".
