Cabo 2013

 We went on a family trip to San Jose Del Cabo for 6 days.  It was such an amazing trip and went smoothly for how many people were in our group.  The kids were great, most of the time.  There were a few hiccups (Jameson screamed bloody murder for about 10 Min's before take off) but nothing that would stop us from taking them back...Like in November, maybe?! 


DAY 1:  We took a limo bus to LAX and had Mimosas and Bloody Marys on the way.  The flight was easy and we arrived in Mexico to amazing weather.  We were greeted with Margaritas when we arrived at Cabo Azul.  We all changed into our suits and headed to Sharon and Craig's Beach Club for a beach party.  It was so nice and we were able to meet some of their friends from Mexico.  After the beach party we went to dinner with the Fairbanks at one of their local spots.

DAY 2:  We decided we just wanted to be "lazy" and hang by the pool, which was so nice!  We woke up, ate breakfast and sat by the pool.  After the pool, we all got ready and walked across the street to eat dinner at a new sushi restaurant, it was amazing!

DAY 3:  We had another pool day.  It's so nice that Cash is old enough to skip his nap (while on vacation) and Jameson is able to sleep at the pool in this Pop up bassinet I found online.  It made our life really nice not to have to stay in our room during the nap times.  Later that afternoon, Cash went with Grammie and Grampa on a horseback ride.  He absolutely loved every minute of the ride. That evening Steve and Lynne watched the kids so we could all enjoy a night out. We all walked across the street to a burger joint that was Rock N Roll theme.  It was great burgers and we all enjoyed the adult time.

DAY 4:  We decided to go horseback riding in the morning as a big group.  Kory offered to watch the kids as he said he was sick of horses.  I have been on horses as a kid and in Jamaica but the horses walked.  These horses ran and I am not a skilled horseback rider let alone horseback runner (is that a real name?) I was scared out of my mind when my horse took off.  I was being spanked by the saddle and trying to hold on for dear life.  Lets just say I didn't enjoy the experience very much and probably wont want to do it again.  I can check that off my bucket list.  That night we went over to Sharon and Craig Fairbanks home for dinner.  It was fabulous as usual.  Catered and great drinks and conversation. 



 
DAY 5:  We all woke up early and ate breakfast.  Geoff, Kory, Cash, Jameson and I went to the pool while the others read or just lounged around.  Our favorite activities Director Rodrigo asked if we would like a behind the scenes tour of the hotel, which we all wanted to go.  So we got to see everything that goes on at Cabo Azul, which is pretty much a self contained city.  It was very interesting.  After our tour and Lily's nap, we all headed to Cabo San Lucas for the day.  I have never been to San Lucas and after going, I am not sure it's my cup of tea.  A little wild and too much partying but we all went to lunch at The Office.  It was fun eating with your feet in the sand.  After lunch, Geoff and Kory went on Sea Do's while the rest of us watched some awful wet tee-shirt contest.  Dad's around the world would not have been happy to see their daughters up there doing the things they were doing.  Geoff and I walked to Edith's, a place my boss told me I had to try.  We got there and they were closed, so we took a picture outside and called it good.  We headed back to San Jose for some more pool time before dinner and than had dinner at a Italian restaurant in San Jose. After we went to the Art Walk.

DAY 6: We were leaving in the afternoon to head back home so Geoff got me a 80 min massage, which was heavenly. I met him and the kids by the pool after and we hung out until it was time to head to the airport.

Dad's 50th Birthday

My Dad turned 50 years old young on May 13, 2013.  We celebrated his birthday on May 11 at Lucielle's BBQ.  Nik and Shannon had made these awesome onsies for the kids to wear.  They have a picture of my Dad sleeping and they read, "I'm just resting my eyes!" which has become a coined phrase in our family.  It was an awesome dinner and we are so thankful to have Dad/Papa in our lives.
