Cabo

I go through spurts. Sometimes, I blog often. Other times, I go weeks without a post. In reading a friends recent post, she made mention that it's often harder to post about bigger life events such as travel, vacation, or holidays. I'd agree. I'm not sure why this is exactly, but it seems to be true for me.

So here is a picture diary of our Cabo trip.

Sunday.
In order to save over $150 dollars on a plane ticket, Sarah, Karen, and I flew from Austin airport to DFW. There we had a 6 hour layover.
After closedown, moving, and everything else involved at the end of an academic year...we were tired. We spent part of our 6 hours taking naps :)
We also spent part of our 6 hours walking around the airport looking for dunkin' donuts and developing new forms of exercise.
This was the view from the plane as we began to land in Los Cabos. It was a beautiful sunset!
Monday.
We woke up Monday morning, leisurely, and thought we'd just hang out by the pools and scope out the resort. However, Meg's family decided to go into town...so we scurried and hurried and joined them. Additionally, we decided to take a self take each day. We, however, have MORE than one self take from each day ;) We've gotten pretty good at them.
The sunset view from our balcony. Beautiful.
So Meg and I shared a room, and Karen and Sarah shared another. After a long day of walking around, we decided to use the jet tub to relax our feet. We had some bubble bath supplied by the hotel and little did we know...you only needed half a cap full. And even that with the jets was...ummm a picture's worth a thousand words. Needless to say, we also had bubbles in the tub the next day.
Tuesday.
We had a leisurely day hanging out by the pools! I could have probably spent all day in the pools!
The resort had a free appitizer dinner sort of gathering for all the guests. We got dressed up and enjoyed all the freebies...especially the guacamole!
That night, I decided to set on the 'beach' and watch the sunset. Pure. Bliss.
Wednesday.
More pool time at the resort. Lovely.

Thursday.
We headed into town for breakfast, then 'lunch' at Senior Sweets, then a few hours at the beach.
It's a pastry, with coconut gelato inside, and chocolate drizzled over the top. Yumm.
After time at the beach we met up with Meg's family for a sunset dinner cruise.
Friday.
More pool time. Did I mention I brought Harry Potter audio books?! I made it through half of number 6 while laying out! :) In the morning, Meg and I learned how to make mojitos and chiliquiles.
That night, after dinner, the four of us and Meg's family headed to the file pit for smores. After taking a few self pics, we look over to Meg's mom, dad, and aunt to see this...oh the mockery ;) LOVE it!
Saturday.
We hung out at the pools during the day, took a little walk on our private beach, and more hanging out at the pools :)
That night we headed into town to check out Cabo Wabo! It was a hilarious experience! We watched some overly confident, fully independent, interpretive dancers...and so many more!
Sunday.
We planned to have a leisurely morning. However, after receiving a phone call from Meg's dad at 9 that check out was at 10...we scurried. But seeing as how our shuttle to the airport wasn't until 1pm, we had breakfast at the resort and then hung around until it was time to go home.
I took advantage of the few extra hours and went back to the beach, listened to Harry Potter, and waded through one of the pools while the others took naps in cabanas ;)
We were sad to leave...but happy to have experienced Cabo together!
The End.
