10 Year Anniversary Getaway

Reaching 10 years of happy marriage is definitely a call for a celebration! Or, in our case, a fiesta ... an 8 day long fiesta in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was heaven! The Resort: Oh my goodness the resort! It was breathtaking. Our Junior suite was 435 sq. ft. with a full ocean view and private balcony. One of my favorite things about the room, other than the view, was the shampoo and lotion bottles they brought me each day; Bath & Body Works, coconut lime verbena. It was fabulous.

The resort itself sat right on the beach and offered 5 different swimming pools throughout the complex to swim in. All of the pools were what they call Aqua bars. They were all fully equipped to serve food and beverages. When we arrived Spencer and I were given a $300 credit for food and beverages at our resort for attending a timeshare presentation. That 90 minutes of our time turned our stay into an all-inclusive gift. You can't beat that! The restaurants ranged from fancy to 5 diamond fancy so needless to say, we ate good!

Another fabulous perk to this resort is that they have sister resorts all over Cabo and every hour a shuttle bus will transport you from one resort to the other free of charge. You are then welcome to utilize their beachfront, pool and amenities.

The Beach: It really doesn't get a whole lot better than relaxing in 88 degree weather in April; shopping from the comfort of your own lounge chair; or sipping 'virgin' pina coladas while watching the waves crash against the beach. And when you feel the need to jump into the pool or ocean to cool off it's all within reach of each other. That was life everyday, and I miss it already! We did do some fun activities like renting wave runners and paddle boards. Both Spencer and I got 40 minute massages on the beach for $20 each, and we took a ride in a glass bottom boat over to the the famous "Lands End" rock formation. Another treat each day was finding "the Mango Lady" as Spencer calls her. For $5 she peels fresh mangos and serves them with chili sauce. Believe it or not, they are good. We also got peeled cucumbers doused in lime juice and a touch of salt.

Cabo Wabo: The most well known night club in Cabo is a cantina called Cabo Wabo owned by former Van Halen musician Sammy Hagar. Each night a house band performs and it's just a really fun place to be. So Thursday night we decided to go there. After our taxi driver dropped us off we walked up to the entrance, showed our ID's and walked right on in. We were there for about 15 minutes and then the crowd started chanting and going crazy. Spencer turned to the waitress and asked who's performing and she said, "Sammy's here". What!?? For real? How could we be so lucky! Not only was Sammy performing but his latest band called Chickenfoot was with him, minus their drummer. Chickenfoot's band members include, former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony and one of the best rock guitarists, Joe Satriani. It was awesome! After the concert I then turned to the bouncer by the door and asked him how often Sammy performs here at the club and he said 3 times a year. We are still in awe at how we were able to just walk right in, 15 minutes before it started, with not even a cover charge to enter. What an experience to say the least!

The Food: Coconut Shrimp, Fillet Mignon, Shrimp Pad Thai, Skirt Steak Nachos, Seafood Enchiladas, Shrimp Tacos, Chicken Tamales, Coconut Cake, Key Lime Pie, and lots of 'virgin' Pina Coladas are just a few of the wonderful, calorie rich foods that I ate, and boy were they good! Oh, and I can't forget to mention the homemade guacamole and Caesar salads too. So good! Even right now I could still go for some good Mexican food.

The entire trip was amazing. I am sad to see it end but very excited to see my sweet little boys again, all of which did fabulous while we were away. I am grateful to have such a wonderful husband! Spencer is a man who spoils me rotten, loves me despite my flaws, and a man I just dearly love. Thank you Spencer for being the wonderful man you are! Cheers to another 10 years!

I added a slideshow but it drives me nuts how grainy the pictures look :(
