An Unforgettable Trip to Cabo

It's hard to describe the fabulous-ness of our trip to Cabo San Lucas. I can only say it might have topped our honeymoon which was the coolest trip we've ever taken. I don't know if it was traveling to a new country, staying in a luxury mansion above the Pacific Ocean, having our own private chef Lorenzo, or just completely chilling out- but everything about this vacation was over-the-top!

We got a lucky break to go on this trip in the first place. Davidson's football coaching staff got offered a donor's mansion in Cabo for a week. Lucky for us, Paul (the head coach), is Brian's best friend so we got the invite.

So the house...let's just say Paul McCartney and Jennifer Aniston have stayed there! We won't soon forget Casa Turquesa...

 

The mexican decor was absolutely beautiful...

 

 

 

 

and the ocean views were breathtaking. Here's the view from the dining room (no walls!)..

 

and the deck...

and our balcony...

and our bathroom!

 You couldn't swim in the ocean because it was too rough, but we enjoyed exploring the beach.

 

 

That's our house up on top!

We spent most of our time hanging out by the pool (and hot tub)...

but did go into town for shopping, a Mexican lunch, and a very cool boat trip.

We passed the famous Cabo San Lucas landmark the Arch...

and then cruised out on the open seas to go snorkeling. I touched a starfish and swam in the middle of a school of tropical fish. On the boat trip back, we soaked up the sun, ate fresh salsa and chips, and blasted Kenny Chesney's "Beer in Mexico". It was one of those happy moments you won't ever forget.

 

 

I was a little nervous to go on vacation with strangers (only knew 3 of the 16 people going in), but we were surprised by how much fun we all had together. Guess it's impossible to not have fun in a place like that...

 Our last night there, the food and the sunset were amazing...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was hard to leave, and we are still having Cabo withdrawl. Good thing we had this cute little lady as motivation to get home quickly...

Gigi, Pop Pop, and Aunt Alli did a great job of keeping Collins happy while we were gone- we can't thank them enough for allowing us to take this trip. Now we just have to figure out how to get invited back next year!
