Escape to Cabo! / Oct 12, 2010
We should clear up any doubt right now about our vacation habits. It might appear to the casual observer based on the photos below we lay around, drinking fruity drinks and reading all day long while on vacation. And while we’re typically more adventurous types when we go away, after twelve years of being together, Anne, who loves her beach time, had never had a “drop and flop” as our friend Karen would put it. So we thought a little about what we wanted in a relaxing vacation but were coming up a little short when our friends Mindy & Eric and subsequently Jamie & Brooks told us to head west! We were not disappointed, and we blatantly stole the blog post’s title from Mindy’s Facebook album (thanks, Mindy!).
So in celebration of our recent wedding anniversary, we cashed in some of our coveted Amex points and spent five wonderfully, relaxing days south of the border at Capella Pedregal. We read some great books (thanks, Karen for loaning Anne, The Help – awesome book!), caught up on some trashy magazines (okay, that was Anne, too) and generally just enjoyed relaxing by the pool with a commanding view of the ocean waves crashing against the beach. Bill discovered a mescal-based cocktail to go along with his Seth Godin book that struck his fancy and it was tough trying something new, namely the resort’s variety of most excellent tequilas. We did tear ourselves away from our lounge chairs one day for some awesome sea kayaking and snorkeling. SO fun! All in all, it was the perfect getaway and we can highly recommend Cabo for your honeymoon, anniversary, or birthday. Or you could just go with no special reason at all.
Of course, we HAD to bring our camera and believe it or not, it was so incredibly beautiful, Anne even found herself rising with the sun several mornings. We hope you enjoy a few vacation pics. 
Heaven. Sigh.
Who needs an eye mask when you have Pacifico beer bottle caps?
Quite the adventure kayaking on the open ocean and quite the workout!

Our guide broke open a sea urchin with his bare hands and gave us part of it to feed the fish. A bit scary at first, but super cool!

Last dinner there so we had to indulge in The Study of Mexican Chocolate. We’re happy to say, we passed the test, but really was there ever any doubt?
