MEXICO!
Playa Grande Resort! (stayed here)
As most of you know, Justin and I spent a week in Cabo San Lucas
, Mexico. We went with Justins parents. They own a timeshare at the Playa Grande (where we stayed) so we went along for the trip! They spoiled us alot and I'm so thankful I was able to go along. Justin paid for my plane ticket as a birthday gift as well....pretty nice if you ask me! The week was amazing. We layed out every day, went deep sea fishing, went on a sunset cruise, ate at many restaraunts that had the best food i've had in a long time, tons of sea food, walk along the beaches, took tons of pictures as you can see....i think i ended up with 180 all together! We drank many margaritas by the poolside (authentic mexican margaritas), and went to many stores and clubs (The Giggling Marlin, Cabo Wabo)
While in Cabo I was so amazed with the rock formations and how high the tide came up every night. From our hotel room we could hear the ocean all night (we left our glass door open) which was one of my favorite things. I got very tan for just the 7 days we were there....it's got to be something about the Mexican sun! We saw baby sea turtles making their way to the ocean coming from their sandy nest! Humpback wales were birthing during this time so we saw many each day spouting water and breaking the waves. We also experienced sea lions snatching our bait while we deep sea fished one day...they swim down and steal the fish on the lure for a snack! Needless to say that made it hard to catch anything....we caught 3 fish all day (a marlin, a Dorado, and some silver fish) The restaurants would cook any fish you caught that day- we ate the Dorado! The trip was one of the most memorable ones I've had yet. A week in paradise. We're already talking about next year trips...Belize, or maybe Mazatlan!? I cannot wait to go back!!
During our trip I was many times mistaken for Justins sister/wife/fiance/and girlfriend all in one day. Being with justins parents made it maybe a little confusing...but it was also hilarious as I tried to figure out what I was supposed to be! I don't think the Mexican culture is as big on being someones girlfriend than being a wife or fiance. Many times shopping, the clerk's would try and get justin to buy something for "his wife"....kind of a trick everytime we went out..you never knew who I was going to be next! All in all, it was a GREAT time and it's sad now because my tan is fading :)
