Our Cabo Getaway

Our Cabo San Lucas Trip.....

This seems like a lifetime ago, though it was only last September that we escaped for a week of luxury and fun in the sun. 

Cabo San Lucas was really my Graduation gift.  That's right, I may have not been the one who recently graduated but Justin made sure I felt rewarded too. 

So off we went.... just us and it was just heavenly.........

Our hotel, had the most aaaamaaazing views! Walking through the lobby all you could see was the white sand, blue waters, and the famous views of Land's End.

I loved all the black and white.  My future dining room will be designed using inspirations from this hotel. 

 The mornings were beyond awesome, the ocean breeze, live music, mimosas...

Date night every night.... this was the view from our room...

Late Cabo Nights.... endless breeze, endless fiesta

The view from our room at night.....

And during the day......

I can't remember how I talked Justin into a Towel Folding Class... And we were the only ones who participated, go figure... At the end the resort instructors asked us to pose for a few photos.....Which resulted in quite possibly.....the most distrubingly cheesiest photo we've taken to date.

This photo (below) marks a HUGE milestone of the trip and our lives...

This photo was taken just minutes after Justin had checked the computer down in the lobby to discover that he PASSED the state boards... meaning he could now start practicing as a Doctor of Physical Therapy.  This was about 8am and when he came back up into the room and told me I thought he was going to pass out.  He didn't believe it.  He immediately had to down a Pacifico to calm down, quickly followed by a second.

Days at the pool and in the ocean, my favorite! It was so hot and humid; you almost had to be in the water to keep cool.  I went through a total of 3 pairs of sunglasses on this trip. The bottom right photo of me is one of Justin's favorites... as I tried having a serious conversation with him, not noticing that one lens was completely missing.  He just keep staring at me... I thought he was deeply interested in my conversation.

Jet sking... Justin's favorite! Oh yeah next time you see Justin ask him about the time he threw me off a jet ski in the middle of the ocean......umm yeah...

I was totally pumped about parasailing... and Justin was a little apprehensive... UNTIL we were in the air... I just keep hearing CLINK, CLINK, CLINK... and kept wondering if Justin heard it but was afraid to ask him.  He just took it all in... at that point he had realized he passed the boards~nothing else mattered. The views were breathtaking.

Paradise... endless paradise...

We went on a horseback ride at sunset on the beach, something I always thought would be soooooo romantic...but truth be told... I was TERRIFIED the entire time ~ more so then when we were parasailing.  Thankfully I had the slowest, sweetest, most gentle horse named Cheyenne.  Justin had Bronco, who lived up to his name as he took off racing a few times with Justin. 

The last night of our stay, we ventured into downtown Cabo, and had the most aaamazing dinner at Mi Casa.  I took the locals suggestion and ordered one of their famous dishes: El Mole Poblano ~off the hook, amigos!

Then of course... we had to hit all the Cabo hot spots... The Giggling Marlin, Cabo Wabo, and Squid Roe.

Some way, somehow, we finally ended up safely back to our hotel... after getting in trouble for swimming in a closed pool~oops!

And this photo about sums it up... at the end of our trip we were officially "beached out" and that's how we knew we had a fantastic time south of the border!

It felt so awesome to return home and start our new chapter.

And this marks off # 64. Travel to another country
