Cabo San Lucas!!

Oh my... it was a blur!

This was where we stayed and I HIGHLY recommend it! Hopefully we can make it back again someday. http://www.dreamsresorts.com/drelc/

We left Friday morning.

One of the highlights of Zac's trip was definitely the Park and Fly shuttle bus. I don't know why, but he felt ultra cool.

After waiting in line FOREVER (thank you Europe volcano) and a little "surprise" at the ticket counter (apparently infants are NOT free when traveling internationally), we were finally shoeless in security.

Selah Grace got to keep her shoes on.

The flight was fairly boring, minus Zac's last minute freak-out about taking off, and SG's 2 minutes (felt like 20) of screeeeeeeeeaming.

Zac was bummed that we didn't have a "tube" to walk through at the Cabo airport. In Mexico, you basically get dropped off on the runway and figure it out from there.

We got to the resort and I could NOT BELIEVE the size of our room.

When we went last summer, we had a large room. And I was expecting our room to be pretty small this time. Like a normal hotel room. This was not a normal hotel room!! I was just about in tears and SO excited. We even had 2 bathrooms, so Selah Grace could have her own room! :)

We immediately got changed into swimsuits and headed to the pool!!

At the pool, we met little A - a 5 year old girl who hit it off with Zac right away. This was her family's 10th time at this hotel, so we took their advice when they recommended the Kid's Club.

The Kid's Club was open every day from 9am-10pm. They had scheduled activities for each hour, including tennis lessons, video games, bungee, seashell collecting, etc etc etc. They gave us a beeper and we hardly saw Zachariah after that!! Every once in a while, we'd see him with the other kids on the way to eat at a restaurant or we'd see him in the pool with his friends and his "teacher."

I'd ask him, "What did you order for lunch/dinner?" And most of the time, he'd answer "nachos." We figured - oh well - it's his vacation, too!

When he was with us, he ordered endless strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas. And nachos.

Selah Grace loved the water. Her favorite was the jacuzzi. It wasn't too hot and she just floated around for hours. My goal was for her not to have a single tan line. Thanks to 60 sunblock, her sunhats, her cover ups, and her floatie with a shade - mission accomplished!

The rest of us got great tan lines. :)

Brian and I drank and ate and tanned and floated and ate some more. We probably ate 6 meals each day.

Both fridges in our room were stocked every day with corona, wine, water, and apple juice. Every restaurant and room service - free. Ricardo was our pool waiter and we loved him. He came to say goodbye to us on our last day! We ate in each restaurant and swam in each pool. Between SG napping and Zac at the kid's club - it was just the two of us most of the time!

The kids did awesome with the time change. Zac stayed up L.A.T.E. because he didn't want to leave the kid's club until his friends left. lol (they closed at 11pm our time.....the child usually crashes at 7pm!!)

Anyways - onto the pics!! The quality isn't great, but I had my phone and my crummy old camera with me most of the time. :)
