Our trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

We had a lot of fun in Cabo. I actually took over 700 pictures so it was very difficult to choose the best ones. I put a lot of pictures on here, but this is like my diary so I did it to preserve the memories. I certainly don't expect everybody to look through them all :)
Relaxing in the pool. Yes, I can float!


Nicholas loved his floaty thing :)
Hot tubbing.
Wearing his bother's shirt.
Glass bottom boat. Very exciting but a bit scary. Being in such a small boat in the middle of the ocean. HUGE waves. You get the picture.

The famous Arch. It will show up in a lot of my pictures here.
This is the Divorce Beach. The waves were HUGE and very loud. No swimming allowed!
The Lover's Beach. Much better. Alex found a little crab in the sand and then it got washed away...


We went on a snorkeling trip and had the front deck all to ourselves.




As a bonus, we saw some huge whales with their babies on our way to the snorkeling spot. COOL!!!
The water was crystal-clear. Love snorkeling!
Alex tried... That's all I'm going to say :)

Would be nice to have this boat...
There was a lot of dancing to the Mexican music.
Nicholas really enjoyed his vacation.

Downtown marina in Cabo.
The best guacamole. Seriously.
The view from our condo.
A typical street downtown Cabo.
We enjoyed some of our breakfasts on the huge deck. Everybody contributed to cooking those.

In the evenings we played games outside.
During the day, we played in the water.
Nicholas's hair got really curly there.
Dave and Alex went swimming with the dolphins.


We also went on a sunset cruise. Dave and I tried to have a date but Alex tagged along.
So we danced together all night.
Nicholas always wanted to feed himself and one spoon just wasn't enough.
Alex learned how to swim very well and snorkel too!
Nicholas thought that pool water tasted really good... Yeah, nothing we could do about that...
A nice cozy walk between the two resorts.
Relaxing on the deck at night.
Somebody lost a tooth there and the Mexican tooth fairy brought him some pesos. Another somebody found 2 teeth while we were there!
On our nightly walk.
Beautiful sunset.


THE BEST seafood at a restaurant downtown, Maro's Shrimp House. And great entertainment too.

One of numerous flea markets where I bought a gorgeous huge Mexican fruit platter. Love it!
Playing in the sand. Nicholas had mixed feeling about the waves though :)

Breakfast at the La Parilla Grill.
D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. Can't say anymore.

The evening view. Breathtaking!
Our family.

Certain someone REALLY loves brushing his teeth. He could do it all day long :)
Mexico has by far the best limonada!
We even made it to the local church, which Dave loved.
Playing in the pool was a twice-a-day kind of event.

Our condo was very nice. Very.

Until next adventure!
