Cruise ~ Day 4 ~ Cabo San Lucas Day 2

For our second day in Cabo, we decided an entire day of sun and alcohol is maybe not such a great idea, so we picked a random guy on the street to take us on a glass bottomed boat.

The "glass-bottomed" part is a gross exaggeration (there's a small window in the bottom of the boat, when not covered with lifejackets), but the trip was great.

We saw pelicans:

This is the "window on the Pacific" on one side is the Sea of Cortez, and on the other side is the Pacific Ocean.

The Famous "arches" of Cabo San Lucas

If you've ever been on a cruise, you know that there are photographers EVERYWHERE.  Of the approximately eleven billion photos they took of us, I think we bought about four.

Cruise ~ Day 3 ~ Cabo San Lucas

Our plan for our first day in Cabo was to find a beach, stay there, then go to a bar for lunch, and that's pretty much what we did.

We took the tender off the boat, then walked about a mile down the boardwalk until we found an empty beach and parked it there for the rest of the morning.

The "popular/party" part of the beach was a little further down, but we were perfectly happy to sit on this beach all by ourselves

Eventually we got hungry and wandered back up the boardwalk until we found a restaurant with good food and 2 for 1 drinks.  Life is good.

Cruise ~ Day 2 ~ Fun Day at Sea

Our main goals for the vacation were to: eat, sleep, & read books.  And that's pretty much how we spent our first day.

We had brunch in the main dining room, then pretty much sat by the pool all day, except for the 2 hours I spent in the spa.

Cruise! ~ Day 1 ~ Airplanes, Ubers, & Boats

We're on our way!

It's astounding how much easier it is to get through the airport when you check your bags and don't bring any children.

We got to the dock almost 2 hours before our "appointment", but we spent about 15 minutes in-line and we walked right on.

I posted a bunch of photos to Facebook before the boat left dock & we lost cell service so the kids could see the boat.  Although we got a few "have a great trip" comments, probably about half the comments were about either: my hair, or our tattoos.  Who knew a couple temporary tattoos could be such a big deal?

I took about a million towel animal photos, mostly for the kids, but you get to see them too:

We toured the boat and checked out all the lounges before they were filled with drunk people.

On the top floor, they have putt-putt, ping pong, and basketball.  If Parker were here we never would have left this level.

We made it into our room!

This time we upgraded to a balcony room.

We're way too cheap to get a suite, but the balcony was well worth the extra $100.
