Cabo Wabo

This weekend we went to Cabo with Kevin's parents. We own a timeshare ( that's another crazy story) so we decided we should use it. Our timeshare is for a Junior suite, but whenever they have a larger room available they will give it to you at the same rate. So when Kevin called they had the Presidental suite available ( which is about $8,000 for the week. We didn't pay that much of course since we own the timeshare. The hotel is breathtaking. We had the most gorgeous views of the ocean and city. We were so high up in the hills. Our room was over 2100 square feet and our balcony was as big as my classroom. It also had a jacuzzi tub on the balcony which faced the ocean. Talk about relaxing. Here are some views from our room

























Here is a view from the beach looking at our room. It is the tallest building there.













Kevin and me on our balcony, then relaxing at the pool.

























The weather was extremely hot, so we spent the first day at the pool for about 5 hours and then took a water taxi around the sea of Cortez, where another boat almost chopped off my hand. What can I say it is Mexico.






The waves were crazy!!!













Then we walked around town and went to dinner at the Shrimp Factory. They have great seafood in Mexico.







The next day a tropical storm named Lowell decided to come to town and take away my sunshine.
It was so windy that all the beaches were closed that day at the resorts, but you could still go in the pool. We were up at the top pool at our resort ( they had 5 pools there) and it started to pour down rain on us. It was so much fun swimming in the rain. Almost everyone left the pool except us. We had such a blast. The 3 days went by so fast ,but we had fun and were glad to make it home before Tropical Lowell took over the town.

Laura,
Could I get your email address. I wanted to send you an evite to my Modbe Clothing party. It happens to be on the same night as Heather's Pampered Chef party (we didn't plan it that way, we just happened to send out our evites the same time and didn't realize until we got each others invitation). I can't change mine, but a lot of people are going to go to both since they are only a mile apart. I just wanted you to know your invited. So if your interested I would love your email.

Thanks,
Niki McDowell
