Vacation in Cabo

We all just got back from our vacation last week. It is crazy how you can go somewhere for a week and while you are there you can forget what normal life is like...and then going to the beach every day actually starts to seem normal. But yet, when you come back it takes approximately one day until it seems like the vacation is only a distant memory.

Our vacation started out a bit bumpy (with a cancelled flight and an overnight stay in a DFW-area hotel), but it didn't cost us too much vacation time. Also, it took us about a half-day to acclimate to having the language barrier, weird driving, and other issues that present themselves in a foreign country. Other than that, our vacation was great. The only things that I can think of that would have made it better would require an unlimited money supply--so it was perfect as it could be.

Here's are some highlights:

We went to the beach a lot...

The waves were huge at this beach and they broke right up on the edge...so no swimming at this one. It was kinda nice though because it made it less busy, and nobody was there to try and sell you stuff.

Logan had some hangup with burying Heidi's feet, and I figured out that I don't know how to handle sunsets in photography.

We dug a hole or two because apparently everyone does that at the beach.

We didn't quite make it to China, but the kids got in pretty deep.

And the kids definitely got a vacation from bedtime.

We did some sweet Mexican flea market shopping. Austin got his own chess set, and also lost his first game on his chess set. The set is actually really cool, it has a Mayan calender etched into the surface. I got a bigger version.

I really don't know why we bought this. We are bound to regret it.

We did a lot of swimming.

After a while, Logan got tired and decided to stop at the bar for a margarita.

Heidi usually has a much better eye for taking pictures than me, but she whiffed on this one (so I had to include it--see if you can see why, open it up if you can't).

To be fair, check out her handiwork here...

And here...

Went and saw a reef in the "yellow submarine."

This was our hotel. It turned out to be a really nice resort.

The view from our balcony was often blocked though.

This was at our last breakfast from our hotel before we left for home. Everywhere at this place had a good view of the ocean.

Heidi has more pics on facebook if you happen to be cool enough to be her "friend."

In the end, even though it now seems like all of the above didn't ever happen, I am well rested, better focused on my work, etc. And we didn't get swine flu...although I got an outer ear infection which really does suck--feel more sympathy for your kids when that happens.

Not a bad time at all.

So I lied...

Okay, so I guess it will be longer. There's lots of things I could blog about, but I'm just not that motivated. Maybe when I get back from Cabo.
