a little more Cabo

My title is a lie.  This may be considered a lot more Cabo.
We decided since it was our honeymoon spot it was the perfect place to celebrate our 10th anniversary.
So after Adam and Jenny's wedding we moved closer to town for a change of scenery.  Even though Cabo Surf was incredibly beautiful and no change was really needed.  
Mostly we wanted to be closer to lots of food.

We checked into our resort for a few more days just the two of us. 

 









 The first day we took a boat taxi to Lovers Beach.  A place we had spent an afternoon on our honeymoon too.  



 You know how I could tell my husband is 10 years older?  Because on our honeymoon he was in the waves, being tossed around like he was in a washing machine and he loved it.  He pretty much almost died like 15 times.  That would have been lovely for a honeymoon.

This time.  He just watched the waves.








We wrote our last name in the sand on our honeymoon and I came home and had it printed as a mousepad. 
Wow. A mousepad. 
So we decided to do it again.  +10. 
But I won't make it into a mousepad this time.


 Another day we took the Pez Gato snorkeling tour, which was a total blast!








 And I actually snorkeled this time. I tried on my honeymoon and felt like I was hyperventilating and going to suffucate.  Dave has snorkeled several other times on some of our cruises, but I always sit it out.  I was glad I tried again.  I was still totally freaked out and it took me a long time to slow down my breathing and relax a little.  But I made it.  And Dave said it was one of the best places he had snorkeled, so I guess I chose a good place to try again.


 This was my favorite night and favorite meal. TripAdvisor listed Misiones De Kino as #4 in all of Cabo.  I picked it because it had seafood and Italian in one spot to make us both happy. 

It was off the beaten path, so we had a little bike taxi guy take us there. 
It was heaven. It was empty, late, dark, romantic, it glowed with twinkling lights.  It was pretty much outdoors with just a hut roof covering parts.

The food was amazing, I tried octopus for the first time, and we were serenaded with "Wonderful Tonight".
It was definitely wonderful.


 It was the best food vacation EVER.  Cabo has some amazing food.  We had heard this, which is why we didn't end up going with an all-inclusive resort.  And it was SUCH a smart choice.


 This was The Office.  Such a fun place to eat.  We did breakfast there.  We heard lunch and dinner there can get a little crazier...as in spring-break crazy.  With a large mexican man named Rambo who comes around and pours tequila in your mouth straight from the bottle.  So if you like tequila and mexican men named Rambo, you will love it.



We got these masks for the boys from one of the local sellers on the beach.  Best souvenirs ever...they are used almost daily. 







 Somehow the fact that we were celebrating our 10th anniversary got lost in translation and we were all of a sudden celebrating our 3th. 
No big deal.  Dessert is dessert.


 So far, best vacation ever.  It even beat our honeymoon.
SO thankful we could get away, and celebrate such a dear friend, and then celebrate us too.
Crazy to believe we've already done 10 years together.

Looks beautiful and so jealous you got away together. My hubby and I haven't had more than a weekend away in nearly 17 years. Looking to change that next year. Loved the dessert, that is hilarious!!
