Down in Mexico

Brian and I took off to Cabo San Lucas for a long weekend.
We forgot the camera, but it didn't really matter,
because who wants to take pictures when your kids aren't around?
Here are a few iPhone photos to sum up our trip:
The resort we stayed at:

The view from our room:

View of the beach, while on a water taxi:
Are you jealous yet?

Brian always has to check out the yachts. Funny thing?
The biggest one in the bay was from Park City, UT.
(not the one in the photo :)

Getting geared up for our whale watching trip.
We were in a fast, little Zodiac raft, so we were right down near the water.
We saw several humpback and gray whales.
We would see them just as they would dive down,
so we would see their tails flip out of the water.
But at the end we saw a gray whale breach a couple times.
They are huge! It was pretty exciting.

We got a couple of good beach days.
Brian snorkeled while I read a book. It was really nice, the sunburns
were totally worth it!
We went into downtown Cabo one night for dessert with some friends at
a great place called Edith's. It had a great atmosphere and they put
on a fun fire show with our Bananas Flambe'.

After a few days of warm sun, we were back on a plane headed home.
It was so nice to hang out together and relax. The only problem
is that now I want to go back...
A BIG thank you to all our family who took care of our kids!!
Anyone want to volunteer to watch them next year? :)

This is what was waiting for us at home.
Maybe being back home isn't so bad!

To answer your questions . . .

1)YES! I'm totally jealous! You BOTH deserved that trip. Isn't it great when the company rewards the supportive spouse as well?
and
2)I'd love to watch your kids for your next trip. Want to watch ours for our 10 yr? ;) If only we didn't live in separate states :(

P.S. Happy belated Birthday Brian! Guess I don't have to ask if it was a good one :)
