last week, jack and I headed out for a much needed vacation with friends....we haven't been away since our first year anniversary (I don't count the Bahamas because it is for work and we don't relax much at all there) in cabo and back to cabo we went!
our friends the luciers, invited us and we jumped at the chance to go.
we were gone from Saturday to Thursday and it was the longest I have been away from both boys.
if you follow the news, there was a devastating hurricane weeks before our trip. the airport was working, but windows were still blown out, the ceilings were basically wires, and on the way into town we saw where we stayed 6 years ago and it was awful. most hotels won't open back until 2015. BUT, our hotel wasn't touched. it was pretty amazing to see.....our American airlines flight was the first AA flight back to cabo since the storm. crazy!
we had the most gorgeous view and were in a villa with 2 rooms and a kitchen, den, etc. the palm trees took a beating, but otherwise, the hotel was in perfect condition.
the boys had to have a tequila shot the first second that we go there ;)
little iguana on the beach - this guy who put it on us was laughing his ass off at our reactions!
on Monday, the boys went deep sea fishing and Kimberly and I paddleboarded for an hour (we thought we would go for 30 minutes but we kept getting swept out to sea!) and then had a wonderful massage in the spa. when we were paddleboarding, we even saw a sea lion!
Tuesday night we went into town and had dinner at a local restaurant and had a great time
on Tuesday we also took a glass bottom boat to see the arch and the sea lions and he dropped us on a beach for about an hour and a half and we snorkeled and swam...the fish were beautiful and the water felt great
jack took a jet ski out that afternoon while I lazily read by the pool
on our last day there, we got up really early and all took a glass bottom boat out for a few hours to fish. this was the first day of a huge fishing tournament in cabo and it was neat to see all the boats going out for the day.
jack caught a mahi mahi and we took it back to the grill at our hotel and they made lunch!
mahi ceviche and cooked two different ways. hands down was the best fish I have ever tasted
that night we went out to dinner and it was the perfect way to end our trip. Kimberly and mike stayed until Saturday - we were sad to go but excited to see the boys!
I will be forever grateful for the luciers for including us - we had the best time and really got to relax, laugh with friends, and enjoy the sun and life in general...
life is good!
