Ken and I were childhood sweethearts and have been married for 50+ years. We have 2 sons and 5 grandchildren. We each started our businesses 40 years ago – on a wing and a prayer. Miraculously we still have them today! We live in our hometown in Fresno, both being raised there, and have always had a spirit of adventure. We purchased this condo in 2009.
In November of 2009 we joined our sons and their wives on a cruise of the Mexican Riviera. We went to Cabo, Mazatlan, then to Puerto Vallarta. When we reached PV, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do, and it did not involve cruise ship tours. One of our daughter-in-laws was actually born and raised in the area, so she and our youngest son were our guides. We were met at the cruise ship by a hired car and driver. It was then that our adventure began. We were headed up the mountain to a great zip line. On the way, the driver pointed out some condos that were for sale. We continued up the mountain, had a beautiful brunch overlooking the bay, and ended up at the zip line. After some zipping fun, we headed back to Old Town.
As we arrived in that area, our oldest son pointed out the condos that were for sale. He said he wanted to go look and see what a condo on the ocean in Mexico was like. We told him we only had 3 hours left to spend before going back to the ship and we were going to spend it in town. He insisted, and we humored him by going to take a quick look. Thirty minutes later we were signing papers to buy. Excited, we got back on the ship and could not help but wonder what we had just done. The problem was, it would be months before we would return for a second look at our new home. Just another reason this property is called ‘Casa de Rush’!
