Mexico Getaway

I have never been to an all-inclusive resort before and neither has Nick, so we were really excited for our trip this Winter! I was ready for a break from work and from the snow. We went over reading week because Nick had time off school. I ended up choosing Cabo solely because it was a direct flight from Calgary (we aren't huge travelling fans - more vacation fans :) It was fun just the two of us, but next time we hope to go with some friends! We'd love to go on another cruise... **hint hint** anyone want to come?!

Travel

Because Nick is so tall airplane rides can be tough, his legs are always super cramped and he ends up sitting like a grasshopper and taking up my leg room!! So we invested in Westjet's special seating, you pay an extra $45 dollar per person and you are upgraded to the first 3 rows of the plane. The leg room is very spacious and you get all the sandwiches & snacks that you want for free from their menu. Plus you are the first ones off the plane, TOTALLY worth it. Although he doesn't look it in the picture he was extremely happy about the upgrade :) Now that he's experienced such luxury we will never fly without it again...

Hanging out at the pool

It was huge! Fun swim up bar, everyone was so baffled why I would order virgin drinks, I eventually told one of the waiters I was pregnant so he'd get off my back!

Beach Time

loved playing in the waves and building sandcastles. I've never seen Nick's attention span last so long! I learned a lot from our last beach experience and I wasn't letting Nick get sunburned this time. 45 SPF sunscreen the whole trip! Did we get a tan? Barely... But better safe than sorry says the Cancer Clinic worker!

Whale Watching

this was the one thing I wanted to splurge on for the trip. I've heard so many amazing things about the whale watching in Cabo this time of year. We hopped on a little boat and headed out to the ocean in search of whales. I enjoyed just relaxing in the sun waiting for them to surface for air. They are so huge! It was amazing to see them in their natural habitat. We even got to see some baby whales! We sat in the front of the boat and when we would speed across the water it was like being on a tube ride! Our sunglasses acted like goggles and we got splashed in the face all afternoon

Look at this bed head!! I left him like this most mornings so I could go hit up the pool and start my sun bathing!

Entertainment

It was fun to have built-in dates every night. We would go out for dinner and then hit up the big show that was going on at the resort. The dancers and costumes were amazing! And the decorations and theme changed every night. It was so awesome to be sitting outside all night without a jacket! Such a nice break from the snow back in Canada...
