Cabo Summer Vacation- Part 3

One of things our hotel group offered was something called a Helping Hands Tour. We had prearranged to do this one morning because we wanted to see what life was like for those who live in poverty around the glitzy resorts. We visited the slums where homes where made out of cork and cardboard. In the middle of the slum, the Solmar Foundation had set up a sanctuary for children where they come to learn about the God of the bible and get a free hot meal once a day.

He found a friend.

We also spent some time at a Senior Center in town.

On one of our last days, we took the girls jet skiing.

The really enjoyed it. Especially when we let them drive! 😊

Chillaxin' in the shade.

Hanging out with my little buddy.

Another beautiful day in Cabo.

A walk along the beach after dinner.

We're so grateful for all the wonderful memories we made. It was a blast!

The week was a perfect mix of adventure + relaxation.

Can't wait to do it again!

Cabo Summer Vacation- Part 2

On another day, we took day trip to Santa Maria Bay.

The snorkeling was amazing there.

We saw lots of fish and enjoyed our time there.

Zach went snorkeling for the first time and loved it!

We just let him hang onto the noodle to float and put his head underwater to see the fish.  

That's how the girls learned as well when they were little.

On another day, we ventured out to go parasailing.

Morgan and I have done it before but this was the kids' first time.

The girls rode together.

There they go!

Next, it was the boys' turn.

Poor guy was already exhausted from the day right here.

At first, he protested but like anything else, once he was up in the air, he loved it and wanted to go again.

He said he was "flying like the birds."

I went last by myself.

My loving family decided to have me dipped in the water on the way back in. 😒

And later I discovered this on the camera as well. 😱

Not my sweet Grace!

After a fun day of adventuring, we'd always spend some time relaxing in our resort's pools.

Sometimes, we'd find ourselves there for hours so we'd just order dinner by the pool and call it good.

 One night, we ordered from a local pizza place for the kids and Morgan and I got to enjoy the Sushi Restaurant at our resort by ourselves. The view was almost as nice to look at as my date. 😄 

Cabo Summer Vacation- Part 1

We were up at the crack of dawn to catch our 8:00 flight out of LAX.

 We picked Cabo for 3 reasons:

1. It was cheap. We found a great deal on flights. When you have to buy 5 seats, it can add up fast.

2. It's only a 2 hour flight for a world of difference. August in the desert is no joke.

3. Morgan and I have been there numerous times so we're familiar with it and that's where he proposed to me. Ok, maybe that was 4 reasons?

Zach wanted the window seat.

 Once the flight took off, we gave him his own SW Airlines Jet.

 It kept him occupied and he did great on the flight.

We made it to the resort!

We stayed at the Grand Solmar Land's End Resort and Spa. This was our view.

They had several infinity pools that looked so inviting.

We took a dip to cool off after our day of traveling.

Then we checked out one of the resort's restaurants for a late lunch.

Livin' his best life. 😄

 The next day we set out to explore.

 Tacos Gus was a spot we visited in town, specifically for their tongue tacos. Delish!

 We also took a boat to Lover's Beach.

 Nothing like being out on the water.

 We did some snorkeling.

 Saw some cruise ships.

One side of the beach was calm.

And the other side was unsafe to swim with pounding waves.

 Waiting for our boat to pick us up but they were on "Mexican time" (which is basically known as 30 mins. late). 😜

 Making sweet memories together!

 After a day of adventuring, we'd always come back to enjoy the late afternoon at our resort's pool.

It was so refreshing and calm.

We were blessed with PERFECT weather on our trip.

Even if the high was 90, that glorious cool breeze from the ocean was Ah-mazing!
