Cabo

We just got back from a fabulous 4 night stay in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  We went to Cancun for our honeymoon, and had planned to go back there for our 10 year anniversary, but decided to mix it up a bit and head to the other side of Mexico.  We were so glad we did, as it was whale season in Cabo, and we saw many of the 2000-3000 whales they have this time of year.  

It was so nice to spend some quality time with just my hubby.  We were practically giddy on the plane!


We stayed at the Fiesta Americana Grand, and couldn't have been happier. We went for the all inclusive option, and had a blast trying all the food, and being carefree.  A sweet surprise from one of our waiters.


Looking over the menu at our lunch spot.  Gorgeous everywhere you look!



Sunrise from our balcony.  This place was awesome.  All rooms faced the ocean, and had a balcony.  Our balcony was tiny, but we didn't mind. We got lucky and had a spot right on the water.


Watching the whales jump from our balcony.




The lighthouse and golf course to the side of our hotel.


Brian took these pictures while sitting on the beach.  It was amazing!







Hotel built into the rocks.


Cabo is a desert and very rocky.  The sand was actually very rough and hard on your feet.  Not a great running around beach, but a perfect sit and relax beach.



I loved all the tide pools and shell hunting.  Our hotel was right on a little reef.  The water was a little chilly, but you could actually just stand in it knee deep and see tons of tropical fish.  No snorkel needed.  I saw pretty much all the fish I have ever seen in Hawaii, right at my feet.




Brian got in trouble for being on these rocks.  Hee Hee.


Why is that rock white?



Best spot for delicious fish tacos.


Infinity pool relaxing.


Roof top sushi bar.





One day we decided to take a whale watching excursion.  We were able to see downtown Cabo and all the rock formations.


Lover's Beach.  Cabo is the southern most tip of the Baja Peninsula and separates the Sea of Cortez from the Pacific Ocean.  On the other side of Lovers Beach you can see the Pacific Ocean.



Pacific through there as well.


Cabo's famous Arc.



Sea Lion colony.



Humpback whale fin slapping.


We were on a small speedboat like the one in this picture.  I did not get sea sick!




Our hotel from the water.






The sea lions hop aboard the fishing boats for some free fish.  It was hilarious!


Dowtown Cabo.

The marina.


Sunrise.





Beach lounging.


While it was 80 degrees, it was sometimes windy.  I am not really a sun person, and prefer the umbrellas.  Brian is the opposite.  He was like this the whole trip,


And I was like this....


Lobby view.


Adios Cabo!  We will be back!


You can see the arches and our hotel in this picture.


We had the most fun, and it was a perfect little getaway, but we were so happy to see these crazies!


Thanks to Tula and Pop, and Nonnie and Grandpa, they were well taken care of.  We are blessed!
