Cabo Wabo

Traveling is something that Ethan and I talk about all the time and certainly something we want to do more of, but life always seems to get in the way. So, when we got the opportunity to travel to Cabo San Lucas for the wedding of two of our closest friends - we took it. Having a husband who does several weddings a year, I can honestly say this was one of the most beautiful and emotionally filled weddings I have ever attended or been a part of. The wedding was held in an inside/outside chapel in the middle of a gorgeous resort where family and friends were staying.
Sunday we enjoyed a little time by the pool before heading in to downtown Cabo San Lucas for the "Welcome Party". The dinner was held at another hotel that had a view of the famous arch. The food was amazing and we were serenaded by an authentic Mexican Trio. After dinner we hung around and enjoyed a night on the town at Squid Roe.
Monday Ethan and I went zip lining in the middle of the desert. It was an unexpected work out but well worth the sweating when you're going 50 miles through the middle of canyons in Mexico. Once we made it back to the hotel we laid by the pool for a little while before getting ready for the rehearsal. The rehearsal dinner was combined with a beach party being held at the resort. The food (again) was amazing and the live band set the tone for the night playing tons of classic rock!
Tuesday was the big day! I hung with the girls all day and enjoyed getting pampered by the best in Cabo - it was awful. :) The wedding was absolutely beautiful. There was so much love in that chapel, not only for the bride and groom but between all the friends and family who traveled so far to witness this special day and of course the love for the Mother of the Bride who was looking down on her daughter with the biggest smile, I'm sure. Then it was time for the reception! It was at the resort and while we waited for the couple to finish up taking pictures we enjoyed a cocktail hour with some of the BEST crab cakes I've ever had. The guestbook was so cute and each couple/person/family took a polaroid picture and had a page to fill out with their favorite memory with the couple and advice for marriage. The reception was a blast and ended with fire dancers who made for the perfect conclusion to a wonderful day!
Wednesday should have been my last day, but thanks to an overbooked flight I had one more day in paradise! We decided to go snorkeling and just hang in downtown and do a little bartering with the locals. It was a perfect last day. Here are some pictures!

Ethan and I couldn't stop saying to each other how blessed we are to be able to travel to such a stunning location. It really lit a fire in us to make a priority to travel more. We can't wait to figure out our next destination - suggestions are welcome. :)
