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.

a Cabo wedding

If you thought the bridal shower was fancy...wait till you see the main event.
UH-mazing!

It was our first destination wedding.  And of all the amazing places they could have chosen, Adam and Jenny picked Cabo.

Dave and I honeymooned in Cabo and on our way home from our honeymoon we decided we needed to go back there on our 10th anniversary.   But then life happens, other expenses come up, it doesn't make it high on the priority list, and years pass way faster than we ever imagined.
Let's face it...if it hadn't been for Adam and Jenny, I'm guessing we wouldn't have gone back on our 10th year.

So 3 months after our 10th anniversary, we were headed back to our honeymoon place to celebrate the beginning of Adam and Jenny's marriage.

We decided we'd celebrate Adam and Jenny for the first 4 days and then stay 3 extra days and celebrate us.

So after our flight out of Wichita was delayed, causing us to miss our connecting flight to Cabo and having to spend the night in Dallas...we made it to Cabo...24 hours late.

Boooooooooo.  But I wasn't nearly as upset as the girls who were on our same flights and were only going to Cabo for the weekend.  Missing 24 hours was quite a bit bigger of a deal to them.  But we did have to miss this fun welcome soiree complete with roasted marshmallows on the beach.

We started off at the Cabo Surf Hotel....where nearly all 80ish guests for the wedding were staying.
We checked in and walked out onto our balcony... it was pretty unbelievable.

We got settled in just in time to get dressed for the rehearsal dinner.

This night started the most fabulous food vacation in our entire lives.

 

The next morning my breakfast view was this...



And then I got to work on some decorations.  My job was to make a tassle garland for the photobooth backdrop and the bar cart.
I had to finish it up in our room before I could hang it.  Dave was thrilled as you can see.

It was fun to be over in the reception area to see things being decorated.
Jenny did every last detail of the day on her own, other than someone who was in charge of actually getting it all set up. She's incredibly talented.

Then we hit the beach until it was time to shower for the wedding.
My date was pretty good looking.

There were 4 of us Pi Phis there...we were the Kansas crew.  Everyone else was pretty much from California.  We tried not to stick out too much. ;-)

 Cocktail hour was around the pool, complete with a mariachi band and GoPro drone.

  

 

 This is one of my favorite ever photobombs!

 Then came the most beautiful reception I've ever been to...

 

Absolute perfection.
Best. wedding. ever.

It was such an honor to be a part of it!
