Summer Break, Week 4: Vacation in Cabo San Lucas

Nothing much happened in week 3, but last week was our vacation to Cabo San Lucas!  We had so much fun!  Here's a quick rundown of our week.

We got up at 3:00 AM on Saturday the 9th and the girls actually got right up with no hesitation.  They were so excited.  Our flight left at 6:45, we had a quick stop in San Diego and then were in Cabo around 2:00 PM Cabo time.  We checked in, got settled in our room and then Paul's sister stayed with the girls while he and I and his parents went grocery shopping at Costco and Walmart.  I think we went swimming that evening but I can't remember.  I know we were all exhausted!

Sunday, our first full day, we spent the whole day by the pool.  We ordered fish tacos and quesadillas poolside for lunch (and 2 for 1 drinks!).  It was nice.



Monday we drove to Santa Maria beach and did some snorkeling.  The rest of the day was spent by the pool.

Tuesday we swam with the dolphins!  That was so cool and the girls loved it.  The rest of the day was spent by the pool and in the evening there was a party with free appetizers and mango margaritas and a mariachi band.






Wednesday we went to town and had lunch at Cabo Wabo.  This was a big bucket list item for me but no one was that impressed.  It is probably a really cool night spot, but for lunch we could have done much better at one of the little eateries along the marina and for a lot less money.  But I really wanted to see the place so I'm glad we went.






After lunch we hung out at another beach right downtown, then Paul and I had a date night and went to dinner at the resort's finest restaurant.






Thursday was another hang by the pool day, but I did get a massage and a pedicure at the spa.  That evening we did a sunset dinner cruise.





And after the cruise while walking back to our car the girls had a photo op with an iguana.  Almost as cool as the dolphins.



Friday was another day of lounging by the pool, plus packing to go home, and Saturday we checked out at 10:00 AM, and had just enough time to go to a nice breakfast buffet before the shuttle came to take us to the airport.

Not a real Starbucks, but the resort's coffee shop "proudly serves Starbucks" (you can barely see the sign in the upper right).  Works for me.

That looks amazing!!!

(And I have to share that we were in Mexico last fall. We went to Tulum to see the Mayan ruins. I still feel a little guilty about it, but I dragged the family into Starbucks there outside Tulum. I wish I could say I was supporting somewhere local, but this mama needed a latte!!!) ;)

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
