Cabo - Adventures in Town

We made a couple of adventures into the town of Cabo San Lucas. Since there was a regular old bus stop right across the street (freeway?) from our resort, we decided to try out the city bus. It worked great! We packed both the kids in Ergos and cruised all around checking out the touristy section of town. We trekked through a "short cut" to find a restaurant that was recommended to us called "The Office" but when we finally got there it was closed for a private party! So we had dinner next door, and waved to our friend's cruise ship in the harbor.

Bye Linda!!

So we decided to try again another night. I think riding the bus was Lily's favorite part of the whole trip. This is Lily yelling "faster, faster!!"

This time we happened to be there for a special event, that we joked was a "Mexican Luau." It was awesome! And we got a table in the sand right by the water (and you-know-who didn't even complain too much about the Big Waves!)

It was definitely worth another trip to town! Plus we got two more bus rides (cheers from Lily) and a chance to buy some souvenirs to bring home.

Cabo - Sunset at the Beach

We loved going down to the beach at sunset! Dawn and I took the opportunity to take about a zillion photos. I'd been dying to get to the beach to try out some of the things I've been learning about (golden hour, silhouettes, etc).

Such lovely light at sunset!

Elliott loved all the birds at the beach, by the pool, and around the resort. One of his growing collection of signs is "bird." He was in heaven!

 This is the moment of The Big Wave. Just after this, a sneaker wave came up and soaked Jason up to his waist! They ran while I scrambled and gathered all our stuff off the beach. Lily was NOT happy and talked non-stop about the big waves after that. When we were putting her to bed she was saying "big wave, exciting exciting, my feet!, big waves, scary, Lily cried, big wave..." She even woke up in the middle of the night and said, "big wave!" Hopefully we haven't scarred her for life!

"Big Moon!"

We went back the next night. Still no luck getting close to the "big waves." There is not better place to be at sunset!

There are cuter versions of this on the Abbott's camera. Too bad we don't have any, because that was WAYYY to close to the big waves for our family.

At least someone was enjoying the beach!

 A silly series of photos trying to get an Abbott family silhouette.

 The final!

 Sunset on our last night in Cabo! Lily's hair agreed with the salty air.
