Nate and I got back super late Wednesday night from our 5 day getaway to Cabo San Lucas Mexico! We had so much fun with our traveling partners Dave and Katie! We traveled to Mexico with them in 2013 and had so much fun, we had to do it again! Katie and I went to high school together and Nate and Dave get along great! Last time around we each had one kid, now we both have two!
View from our room!
We spent the first few hours by the pool, then got dressed and had dinner at the Italian Restaurant at the Hotel
View from our Hotel's beach area! You are unable to swim here (and off most of the beaches) due to dangerous riptides.
We took a walk down the beach the first morning!
Saw some awesome waves!
Did a little rock climbing and saw some amazing views!
We spent the rest of the day by the pool!
Such amazing views!
Dinner was at the Steakhouse that evening and we actually had a pretty decent Filet Mignon! We had plans to venture into the downtown that evening, but the service was pretty slow at dinner and by the time we finished most everything but the restaurants and nightclubs were closing up! We briefly popped into Cabo Wabo for the "experience".
One of the only pictures either Nate or I took that night!
The next day was Dave and Katie's Anniversary, so they headed for a massage after breakfast and Nate and I grabbed some coffee and enjoyed some gorgeous views of the Marina.
One of the most amazing things about our resort was the views! Marina, mountain or ocean views depending on where you were in the resort!
:)
We spent the rest of the day by the pool and then headed into town that evening for a sunset dinner boat cruise!
We stayed under the umbrellas most of the day, Mexico sun is pretty strong in May!
Fun sign on our walk to the Pier!
Beautiful!
Selfie! :)
The Arch!
Passed by our resort on the ride!
On the last day Nate and I did a quick excursion to the beach where we rented a wave runner for an hour. We had so much fun! We then spent the rest of the day by the pool and headed down to the beach for some fun pictures!
Ready to ride!
Don't know why, but I always love the jumping pics!
Apparently it was too bright for Nate to see that my hair was in my face! ;)
Names in the sand, our usual!
So pretty!
One of my favs from the whole trip! <3
Nate!!
Love these people!
Rounded out the trip with dinner at the Bistro restaurant, and this amazing view!!
Our only hiccup was on the way home. We were supposed to arrive at O'Hare around 8:45 p.m. on Wednesday, however after an hour or so of circling in the air due to weather, our plane was diverted to Kansas City to refuel. We arrived in Chicago about 3 hours late, but so thankful we did not get stuck in Kansas City over night!
We are so thankful that the weather was beautiful every day, and we got to catch up on sleep and do a lot of relaxing! We are even more thankful for my mom and dad for so graciously watching the girls while we were gone! I loved that we were able to facetime with them every day and hear about all the fun they were having! Thanks mom and dad, you're the best!!
