Our Trip to Mexico

We found out the middle of January we were going to take a trip to Cabo San Lucas. Scotty had earned the trip for us through an incentive at work! SIDE NOTE: I am so grateful my husband has a job he loves and am grateful every day how hard he works to provide for us! 

I was beyond excited to go and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time! It seemed like all of February was spent getting things in line and ready so we could take some time off. It was the perfect distraction.

We both had never been to Mexico so it was fun doing something together for the first time. There were about 30 people in the group of co-workers and their spouses. It was so fun getting to know them!

There wasn't too much on the agenda ... just a couple dinners planned for the group ... which was awesome. Our days consisted mainly of laying by the pool, whale watching, eating tacos, drinking pina coladas, and reading. 

The resort we stayed at was super nice. Our room had a beautiful view and there were six different pools to choose from! We mainly found ourselves at the one that looks over into the ocean. It is whale watching season there and one day we pretty much had our own private whale show. There were a dozen or so whales that were breaching and flapping their fins all day long. And we could watch from the pool! It was amazing. We also took a sunset cruise where the whales seemed to follow as well.

The town itself is pretty ghetto and since we aren't much of the partying type, we spent most of the evenings hanging out with the other couples who didn't want to stay in town.

Scotty and I also were able to book a kayaking tour where our guide took us out to the famous rock formations in Cabo. We were able to kayak around the southern most tip of the Baja Peninsula. After going in and out of the formations our guide, Rodrigo, took us snorkeling. That was a first for both of us as well. It was amazing what sea life there is just under the surface.

It was such a fun trip! Everything was pretty much perfect ... well except they don't have real Diet Coke which was a major bummer ... But I'm so grateful we were able to go!

 The view from our balcony!

 I have decided that Pina Coladas just taste better pool-side.

The sunset cruise!

 This is the best picture I got of a whale, but you can see how close they got to us.

Our kayaking tour!

 Lovers Beach. We pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves that morning.

 

 It was really funny. This bar at the resort was the only place that had American ESPN so a bunch of us plopped ourselves down in front of the fire to watch the BYU Basketball game during the WCC Tournament. Not a bad way to watch the game.
