Cabo San Lucas


Playa Grande Resort
My parents have a time share in Cabo and we were the lucky ones that got invited this year. The weather was amazing. As you can tell from the picture there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We loved relaxing, snorkeling, taking a daily nap, hiking, swimming with the dolphins, surfing and watching the surfers, deep sea fishing, laying out by the pool, and going out to eat at delicious Mexican restaurants, and being able to spend all day together. It was the perfect vacation!

Eating lunch at the Cabo Surf hotel. I couldn't resist taking a picture of the gorgeous view!

My dad and I getting ready for our private surfing lesson

Surfing was awesome! Surfing behind the boat came in handy. We were super exhausted after from paddling out so hard.

Scott wasn't able to get many pictures of me surfing because he was busy filming

Scott reeled in a massive squid deep sea fishing


Scott took this picture of the famous arch from the boat

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We celebrated at Hard Rock Cafe. All of the workers got all dressed up.

El Frido Bandito showed up at dinner. Scott thought it would be great to grow a mustache for Cinco de Mayo, but don't worry it was gone by the next morning.

Nothing beats a mango on a stick with a squirt of lime and a sprinkle of salt
We had one or two mangos a day. The mango man at the snorkeling beach recognized me parents from years past. He made sure to bring extra mangos for us.


It has been my childhood dream to swim with the dolphins, but I've never been able to because its too expensive.  They recently built a dolphin pool across the street from our resort! We found out if we could survive sitting through a 2 hour time share presentation (ugh) we could all four swim with the dolphins for only $70 dollars!!! Of course we couldn't pass that up! This was the highlight of the trip. The dolphins were so friendly and loved to be pet. It only takes dolphins 4 months to be trained which is amazing. 



My swim with the dolphins. I swam across the pool and flapped my arms for them to head over. The dolphins were really good to wait until they felt weight on their fins to start moving, and then they swam at a slow pace so I could hold on.





Dancing with a dolphin was hilarious! They were doing their head banging dance.




We were sad to leave. Scott and I could have stayed a few more weeks!
