Pioneer Corporate Event

Last week we had the pleasure of performing at our 2nd & 3rd events for the Pioneer Corporation in Cancun, Mexico. We had an amazing time and I have many photos & videos to share. This is just a small sample of a video that we took during the show:



We had such a great time and look forward to working with Pioneer in the future. I promise to post the rest of the photos from the trip soon!

Space Needle

We had our first gig at the Space Needle last night...finally! It was so fun to perform in the iconic symbol of Seattle. The was also Jeff's first trip up to the top so we had to capture some of it on film:



The event was for BP (British Petroleum) with guests from all over the world....Australia, England, China, Japan, Germany, Costa Rica, and beyond. It's truly amazing how music transcends language and nationality. We had a great time and hope that this is one of many events up in the sky!

Playa del Carmen

Mexico log #2:

The second reason we were down in Mexico was to perform at a venue in Playa del Carmen. The new upscale restaurant, Wicky's, had their grand opening for entertainment. We were asked to be the first team to perform at this beautiful venue. Wicky's sits right on the beach and this was our view from the piano:






They even made a near life size poster of us to promote the event:



The streets of Playa remind me of the small towns in southern France. We both fell in love with this beautiful resort town. There are so many different nationalities living in the area. Most predominately are Italian, Dutch, German, and American. This lends to a very international feel to a beautiful Mexican town... except for the Tequila everywhere.

My mom's very good friend's sister, Patsy Chilson, is a real estate agent in Playa. She very generously offered us her extremely beautiful penthouse condo for the week. (http://www.elite-luxury-properties.com/mv416.aspx). It was one of the nicest places we have ever had the privilege of staying in:

The living room area


Kitchen


Master bedroom


Guest bath


Interior courtyard of the condo complex


Second level, private dining/hot tub area


Hot tub with view of the beach


The weather was brilliant while we were there. A perfect 82 degrees everyday. We spent much of our free time on the beach:




My feet.


The whitest girl on the beach!


This is a video I took of some seagulls. I thought it was very cool.



This is a video Jeff took...a little tour of where we were staying:



We really enjoyed our time in Playa del Carmen and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic vacation spot. We actually go back to Cancun next week for two more corporate events. This time maybe I'll actually lay off the sunscreen so I look like I've been in sunny weather!
