Cabo

We had the best time on our trip! Aubrey was great, he slept on the flights and did fantastic until the last night there. He got a little cold, and was up all night being extremely fussy. We were glad that he did as well as he did, though. We had so much fun. The food was fantastic! We just stayed at our hotel the entire time. They had tennis, golf, ping pong (Tony was challenged by almost everyone in the company) a spa, horseback riding, parasailing, atv and jeep rentals, a glass bottom boat, an entertainment crew who taught spanish, sang and did some sort of weird yoga/stretching thing, and anything else you could think of. Aubrey's naps kept us from doing too much, but it was wonderful to just relax, get some sun and some reading in! We sat on our patio during his naps and read, talked and watched all of the sunburned people walk by. :) We walked by the ocean each night after dinner, talked about our kiddos and all of the details of life. It was very relaxing, and a welcome break! We are both so thankful to have my parents who not only are we able to depend on to babysit our kids, but to go so far above and beyond that the kids don't even miss us. They thought they were on vacation! It's wonderful to be able to enjoy a trip without worrying about the kids. Thanks mom and dad!


Highlights:

*On the flight to Cabo, we sat next to a very nice man who was on his way to go fishing. He said, while watching Aubrey sleeping in my arms, "Ahhh... to be two again". :)

*Hanging out with our friends, the Jelsos. They brought their two sons, Jaden and Tanner. They were so much fun.

*Talking about all of the wonderful things about our kids... while they are a thousand miles away being cared for by my parents. :)

*Getting to spend so much quality time with Tony's boss Mitch and his family. His kids are so darn cute! We had a blast with them.

*All you can eat buffet.

*Getting to spend some "alone" time with Aubrey.

*Catching up on our reading

*Watching Aubrey's personality unfold as he makes all kinds of friends with people who don't even speak the language he doesn't know how to speak yet.

*Seeing the conditions of the majority of the people of Mexico. Realizing how blessed we are.

*Seeing the condition of the rich people "living it up" in Cabo. Realizing how blessed we are.

*Reuniting with our munchkins

*Sleeping in our own bed! Being back home with the people we love. :)

Welcome home Jen! It looks like you and Tony had a wonderful time. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see you and say goodbye before we move (this Saturday). But, we will definitely be back to visit our wonderful Bakersfield family. Take care my friend = )
