Best Week Ever!!

Last Friday Scott and Jenae picked up Jeff and I and we headed to Cabo.  Scott had rented a house and it was DELIGHTFUL!  We had the best time!  This post may be long and I hate to bore you but I want to remember the details of this vacation for a long time!  

Once we landed in Cabo we got our car.  Scott is an EXCELLENT cook so we headed to the grocery store to stock up.  We were looking for something in the store and Scott said "Where is the Mexican food aisle."  First time of many I laughed until my stomach hurt.  When we arrived at our house we were not disappointed!

 This was the view from our bedroom.  BEAUTIFUL!  Over the next 6 days I spent probably 25 hours sitting out there!  LOVELY!

The house had a beautiful deck that overlook the pool and ocean.  Here is a picture of the view from the deck!  So wonderful!  It is "whale" season and we watched dozens of whales from our very own porch.  Here is a view at sunset!

Scott made some awesome taco/fajitas the first night we got there.  First wonderful meal of many!!

This vacation was full of relaxation!  It was the perfect combination of activity and relaxation.  The first full day we were there we went to downtown Cabo and did some shopping.  We also stopped at Costco and bought more food.  We bought a HUGE bag of chocolate (like 6 or 7 lbs) and it was gone by the day we left!  The only downfall of the entire trip was in  Mexico they have Coca Cola light which does not taste AT ALL like Diet Coke.  However, Costco had a diet cola that came pretty darn close.  I was saved!!!

On Day 3 (Sunday) we went and swam with the dolphins.  Seriously SO FUN! In our tour you swam with two dolphins.  We each got to do two "swims" with them.  The first one they dragged you through the water with their fins (is that even what they are called)???

 The second swim was a push.  You laid flat in the water and the dolphins pushed the base of your feet until you were standing out of the water.  AWESOME!  

 This was really one of the coolest things I have ever done.

 Underneath Jeff's feet at two dolphins... CRAZY!  Check out the lady in the background.  Jeff may or may not have needed a little help getting out of the water!

 Jenae was so graceful.  She came all the way out of the water!

Scotty...  Graceful?  You decide!

We also did several other fun little things with the dolphins...

 We watched their incredible tricks!

Kisses for everyone!!

 Seriously!!  How cute is my husband??

At the end we moved to another pool and got in Kayak's.  The dolphins swam with us there!

 Look at those dolphins jumping over our oars!  Awesome!

 We raced the dolphins the length of the pool and the jumped all over the place!

Our kids have swam with the dolphins before but none of us ever had.  It turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip!!

On Monday Jeff and Scott had booked a deep sea fishing expedition.  It lasted 8 hours, they caught two  yellow belly tunas.  We joked the entire trip about what expensive fish that was.

 Jeff reeling in his fish.  

 As the boats came back to shore the sea lions jump right up on the boats to eat the left over "bait"  How cool is that??

Scott and Jeff!  Way cute!

Jenae and I opted to stay at the house that day.  I sat by the pool for nearly 7 hours.  I made periodic trips to refill my soda and get more treats!  Fabulous day!  We both read lots and talked lots.  Jenae is PERFECT to travel with!  She is so laid back and so fun.  

That night we went to dinner at the most beautiful place!  I have already forgotten the name of the resort it was at.  It was the most charming, beautiful restaurant I have ever been too.  It was out door and built on a cliff looking over the ocean.  WOW!!

 BEAUTIFUL!!

I was in awe of the scenery!

On Tuesday we went on a whale watch during the day.  This was really cool!  I did get a little sea sick. The boats are very small which is great because it allows you to get close to the whales, but it also allows you to rock, ALOT!  Unfortunately I missed the last 20  minutes.  I had to just put my head down and close my eyes.  All in all though I would do it again!  We saw some incredible whales!

Scott took all of these pictures right off our little boat.  It was really an amazing sight!

Our last evening there we got massages by the pool.  It was so amazing and so relaxing.  I could hear the ocean in the back ground.  Simply delightful!

I truly loved our time in Paradise.  I ran nearly every day, we laughed, ate great and truly enjoyed each other's company!

Check our JT exercising right by the pool!

Here are just a few things I wanted to remember:

387

And hundreds of other corny jokes that kept me laughing for days!!

Thank you to Scott and Jenae for such a wonderful time.  They are truly great friends.  We had the time of our lives.  Thank you to my incredible husband.  I fall more in love with him every day!  A week in Paradise helps that as well!  I am often truly humbled at how blessed I am.

Special Thanks to my sweet Taylor for being brave without me.  My mom for putting in COUNTLESS hours with my girls and all of Taylor's appointments.  My Dad for helping with the girls, for cooking special breakfasts for them.  Kim for staying here 2 nights and for loving Jord just like she is her own.  Kim knows Jordan's schedule just as good as I do!  Jord even called Kim from school one day needing "kanka."  Truly Jord just needed a hug from Kim!  Shea for helping Taylor with her homework and taking care of all the Watrin kids while Kim was taking care of mine.  Jill for keeping Taylor company, driving the girls around and fixing Taylor's crutches!  I am truly a blessed girl!!
