More Cabo Fun!

If you ever go to Cabo, you have got to try Gardenia's! They have the best Shrimp Taco's in Mexico!- We went there just about everyday- Six of us went one day and 26 Tacos later, we waddled back to our hotel room!


The other must go dine place is Villa Serano!- We were going there one night and while waiting for our taxi, we decided to have a photo shoot!





Villa Serano is right off the main HWY headed towards San Jose- They have the best Coconut Shrimp in all of Mexico- Yiks- No wonder I gained 5lbs. in 7 days.


When we got back from dinner one night, we were all lounging by the pool- Jay dared my sisters to throw my mom in the pool for 20 bucks- Courtney and Casey tried to no avail- however, Jody showed up a minute later and heard about the deal- She couldn't pass it up, she almost had her in and to my mother's rescue came her loving Hubby- He proceeded to throw Jody in the pool and unfortunetly got soaked himself!


Jody then got out and made a deal with my mom- If she got in on her own- she would split the $20-so needless to say- They both got in and Jay lost $20!

After they were all soaked- we all decided a swim didn't sound so bad- we all went and changed in to our swim suits and started our first night of water games! Jody and Billy took the Gold in Chicken Fights between couples- Jody & I took the Gold in the sister's competition- Casey took the gold in Special Olympics, 1-Handed hand stand competition(she could only use one hand because she had to plug her nose with the other- Jody took the gold in the 2-handed hand stand and Casey took the gold in staying under the water the longest- I'm pretty sure the people at the resort thought we were all a litte crazy- Unfortunately, I have no photos, we were all in the water! Luckily, the Mexico hospital was right next door in case any injuries were sustained!!

Our Whale Watching Tour was probably the highlight of the trip- How many people do you know that have actually touched a Hump Back Whale?? Well- now you know at least a few- Jay, Jamie, Nate and My dad all touched the whale- It was unbelievable- we were out on the water a couple hours and they were literally playing with us 95% of the time-




Usually a whale will come out of water and then go back down for 5-8 minutes- I'm not sure why, but these whales acted like they really wanted us to touch them- We were literally on a raft with an engine and they would go from one to the other, right underneath us and then up to the the other boat- It was incredible, once again, if you ever go to Cabo- Go on a whale watching tour with Cabo Expeditions-Ask for Jose #3- I'm sure it won't be quite as good as ours was, but definetely a good time!!





We had so much fun- It was so nice relaxing on the beach and having no worries for a few days- however, I missed my kids tremendously. I want to thank my parents for all they do for us, they really are the best parents in the world!!- They are such a good example to all of us and truly are one of a kind- Thanks again Dad & Mom- We had a great time!!
