Cabo Getaway

We have been so blessed to have been able to take so many wonderful vacations this year. Our trips to Japan, Alaska and San Diego were all full of fun, adventure, great friends and family, and we wouldn't have had it any other way! However, for our trip to Cabo we decided we wanted to keep it low key and thats exactly what we did.

Our flight over on Thursday was actually one of the most fun flights we have ever been on. EVERYONE was on vacation and ready to have a good time. You would have even thought the flight attendants were on vacation too! Luckily, we got the GREEN light going through customs so we were able to avoid Mexican authorities from rummaging through our perfectly packed luggage.

We checked into the resort, ate some lunch, changed into our swim suites and headed straight for the pool. Our 5 days were spent lounging by the pool and hanging out at the swim up bar. We left the resort only once our entire trip. We hopped onto the local bus and spent the afternoon in downtown Cabo San Lucas on a mission to accomplish two things: 1) Eat tacos and drink Margarita's at Cabo Wabo and 2) Buy a souvenir for the house. Once both missions were accomplished, we made it back to our poolside chairs.

Chelsea made it the whole vacation without getting sun burnt! Cody on the other hand, left looking like a lobster. In fact, he got burnt on the very first day. He fell asleep lounging by the pool (with no sun screen on) and 3 hours later woke up with a red front side and a white backside!

After a relaxing vacation, what better way to travel home than in first class?! Our unexpected upgrade left us looking completely out of place. When everyone else was wearing business suits and ties, we were wearing shorts and flip flops. Not to mention we were the youngest in first class by 10+ years. When the flight attended came around to take our food and drink orders (which we took full advantage of) she asked if we were Mr. and Mrs. Olson or brother and sister...? Once we assured her we were indeed a married couple and figured out how to get out the hidden beverage trays, we enjoyed the flight home in comfort.
