February 12-19
(I hope I can remember everything)

Day 1
Saturday is always a long day- but this year it was even longer than usual. We drove to Vegas, Flew to Dallas, then finally to Cabo.
Eliza was pretty much and Angel the whole time.
(I wish!)
We arrived at our hotel at about 9:00 p.m. (way later than usual).
We started our trip off right:
We had just got to the hotel. My Dad was checking everybody in. We were all exhausted. I watched in slow motion as Eliza tripped on the uneven rock surface and face planted onto a sharp rock. I heard her forehead hit and fully expected a gash with Mexican stitches. I finally got to her and inspected the damage. It was already sticking straight out but no broken skin. Just swollen the size of a (large) gumball. It swelled so fast I was praying the skin wouldn't break. Luckily it didn't. But she got to sport a huge black bruise the rest of the trip.

If I was thinking straight I would have taken a picture that night.
Obviously I wasn't...

Day 2
Already? Time goes by so fast.
Sacrament meeting at 10:00 a.m.
Walmart for a weeks supply of diapers/snacks/baby lunches/etc..
Craig and I ended up having to switch rooms that afternoon. So after packing up- hauling luggage and groceries to another room and unpacking- it was already time for dinner!
(no pool time... ugh!)

Pepe's for dinner

Dancing with the girls

Every night we walk back along the docks and hit DQ for some dessert.

Craig (usually) goes fishing every morning before the sun comes up. We always go out to see him when Eliza wakes up.
No luck this year...

Day 3

Happy Valentines Day!!!
I have to say- I'm not a big V-day fan!
I've always been in Cabo with my family for as long as I can remember- so maybe that's why?
We never do anything special other than BEING IN CABO!!! That's enough for us.
This year I did bring a Valentine for my little lover-bug.

My little ballerina

Dinner at La Dolce

Eliza loves her "Bryney".

Papa, Memaw and all the Grandchildren
(Adelaide, Isabella, Jada, Brynlie, Kyson, Eliza)

Day 4
Surf Beach

Some of us spent the day at a surf beach about 30 minutes up the coast.

I was sooooo relieved that Eliza was taking naps. She rarely sleeps anywhere other than a bed. It must have been the relaxing sound of the ocean and the warm weather.
We were in heaven...

Cousins love taking care of us!!!

That night we had dinner at Salvatori's.
No pictures I guess... But the food was delish- as always.
It's the family favorite.

Day 5
Happy Birthday Grandma!!!
We always celebrate by going to Mama's Cafe.
Yum!!!

Dinner at Mi Casa.
We usually celebrate my Mom's Birthday here because it's such a fun atmosphere. The kids can be loud and obnoxious and nobody even notices!

Day 6
Breakfast in Bed-
and a day at the beach...

Taking a water taxi over to The Office to spend the afternoon.

It's always so wild and crazy on the main beach. This particular day we went out the door without checking how many cruise ships were in...
Three. 3 ships in the harbor.
It was insane. We could only take a couple hours of the madness!
We escaped and spend the rest of the day at the quiet pool.

This was by far our favorite night.
It's Taco night!

The boys go to our favorite taco stand and get the best tacos in the world-
and bring it to the hotel.
We played on the beach, watched the sun set, ate a wonderful dinner, and the best part?
We didn't have to get ready!!!

(at least I didn't)

(Don't they look like sisters here?)

Day 7
How depressing.
Me, Craig, and Eliza had one more breakfast at Mama's, then spent the rest of the day laying by the pool.

Dinner at Hacienda Cocina.
This hotel is beautiful and the restaurant was delicious.

The whole family
(minus Riley- who couldn't take time away from his new facility)

It was soooo nice to have Tyson around again.
2 years is long.

We watched the sun set as we ate, then walked home along the docks.
It was the perfect ending to the perfect trip.

Day 8
One last sun rise.

We left Saturday at 11:00 a.m.
Delayed flights- Missed flights- Full flights- 4 hours in a Dallas Hotel- No sleep- The flu-
and we finally made it home- Sunday evening.

Next time I'm driving.
(not in real life though)
