cabo parte uno

Like my Spanish? It's pretty intense. And maybe I had to use Google translator - "Cabo Part One" is much too difficult for me to translate alone. In my defense, I have never taken a Spanish class.

Okay well, even though the post is titled "part one" it's technically the second post about our trip. This time, however, we are actually in Mexico. (Sors to disappoint last time) When we finally arrived at our hotel in Mexico, we were blown away - it was amazing (also any hotel that has this list on their website is somewhere I want to stay). Garrett's Aunt owns a time-share at the resort and was gracious enough to let our family and my sist-in-law's family share the suite for the week. Once we made a quick Wal-Mart run, the suite had everything we could possibly need. My favorite part of the suite was our balcony, we had a beautiful view of the ocean and the tip of the Baja Peninsula. I spent almost every morning and evening on the balcony.

Jack's favorite part of the hotel was the pools - we swam everyday. Seriously. The pools were divine, the lounge chairs were comfortable enough to be beds, the towels soft, and the Shirley Temples were always flowing. Heaven. Plus our hotel was right on the beach, so if we changed our mind we could skip down to the beach in less than two minutes. Of course I took tons of pictures:

Garrett and our nephew Hunter - this may have ended in tears.

Jack learned the hard way that sand in the mouth, sucks.
