Crossing and Customs


Crossing the border sounds like an intimidating experience, but for us, was relatively pain free! We left Laredo, Texas at 6:30am to get through customs as quickly as possible. This was our last day of driving & we still had to get from the top of Mexico, down to the middle of Mexico. So the sooner we got done, the better.




This is the money exchange place right by the border in Laredo Texas. This is where we trades U.S. dollars for our first Mexican pesos.






Everyone say "Queso!" no, even better..... "PESOS!!!"



We were a little lost at this point but knew we were in the right general area. One U turn, driving on the wrong side of the road, almost getting pummeled by a bus & a left turn later, we arrived.









CUSTOMS! A mere 2 hour set back and we were on our way to finish one more day of driving.

About Us

Jocotepec, Jalisco, Mexico
We are a family of 5 consisting of a Mom & Dad, a set of twins and a 4 year old. With the exception of Javier, Jaden, Jorden, Corbin and I were Utah born and raised. Javier was born in California and has lived in MANY places including Mexico. Javier is a social butterfly (for lack of a more masculine word) while I am more reserved, because of this I think we make a good fit. We are doing our best to raise our three sons as well-rounded, respectful individuals who will prove to be responsible and HAPPY when grown. We like to make the most of life. We LOVE traveling & seeing new places! Javier has made magical things happen for this family and I love him for that (even though MY Mom may not.)
