The last of Mexico...Cabo

1 small boat, 2 non English speaking captains, 20 passengers, 0 life vests, 1 huge ocean, 2 whales = One Adventure none of us are likely to forget. It was tense at moments, but now….All I can remember are the funny parts. The negotiations for the boat ride were pretty hairy, and more than one kid did an impersonation of me walking down the dock with a flock of Mexican men pecking at my heels, but we got where we wanted to go in the end, although be it very slowly. That boat barely moved in the water. Note to self – Next time pay the extra cash for the preplanned excursions….It’s worth it.

Corbin and Rick.

We did make it to the beach after an hour on the water, and it was clear and beautiful....although a little more cool than I like.  The beach in Cabo was like little pebbles, not like the soft sand of Mazatlan. The kids were a little disappointed by that, but I was just excited to snorkel and enjoy the marine life along the coral reef.

Several people took the canoes out and paddled around.

Lyssi, Loren, and Brennon

It was a great vacation.  The kids still talk about it months later, so it was worth every penny.  We'd all like to do it again.

Here are some of my favorite shots of the trip.








































Wish we were there again.....
