Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (September 13-20)

This was the Big Daddy trip of the year! Sun, fun, and lots of margaritas topped it off, and luxury, relaxation, and champagne was drank ‘til the last drop! We stayed in Cabo an entire week, visiting two resorts and filling our lives with pure enjoyment! The first several days were spent with friends Tasha and Brandon and some of their crew they brought with them from Atlanta and Nashville, and once they headed home, Tres and I headed to ME Cabo resort.

Group of friends on the trip with us!

Day 1 - The first night we went on a boat cruise where we saw the famous rock of Cabo and had a spectacular dinner at a fancy steak and seafood place… that was just the beginning to great food and fun. Tres and I took it upon ourselves to go out every single night to clubs such as Squid Row and Cabo Wabo, Sammy Hagar’s famous bar. That’s the funny thing about me and Tres and what makes our relationship even more special and fun. It can just be me and him in any given situation and we entertain the hell out of each other and have so much fun. Seriously, most couples would pack it up and go home at midnight when all of their friends with them “called it a night.” Tres and I go out (just the two of us) and we have as much fun as groups of 10 I see. It’s hilarious, and I love it!

Day 2 - The second day we had fun at the pool with lots of “dirty monkeys,” as they call these tasty banana drinks they serve south of the border. We went parasailing with Tasha and Brandon on this day, and what we thought was going to be a blast turned into something neither of us would ever do again. Tres and I both learned that we have terrible motion sickness – on boats and in the air. And I am of course afraid of heights, so I have no idea why I thought parasailing would be a good idea, but I did it and was sorry after. We both felt so bad afterwards we held back our vomit and went inside for a nap. We went to a great dinner again this night, and when everyone else headed in, we caught a cab to our new favorite bar: Cabo Wabo. As we were out this night, we looked around and started to wonder why we were the only Americans out. Luckily, we ran into our hotel concerige who informed us that it was Mexican Indepenance Day and he “had to be at work in 4 hours.” (We later in the week made good friends with this guy and called on HIM AND ONLY HIM if we needed anything at our hotel. Haha.) So, Tres and I were out with the best of them celebrating the exact way we would if we were in America on the 4th of July!


Day 3 and 4 - Fast-forwarding the week (since we were there 6 full days)… Tasha, Brandon, and the crew left three days after we got to Cabo, so after that, Tres and I were on our own. We stayed at The Rui Palace one more full day. Since we had hung out at the pool for the past three days, we decided to rent a scooter and go out into the town of Cabo exploring, and boy did we discover some things! We visited several little bars (even the smallest bar in the world), did some souvenier shopping all over the little city, and then we got brave and went into the “deep heart” of Cabo San Lucas. You know… the place where people actually LIVE in the city, not vacation. It was interesting to see the lifestyle of people there. We past a beautiful church, interesting shops, and we even rode up on a Chiuaua! We thought this was HALARIOUS, so we had to take a picture of the little guy. I mean a Chiuaua in Mexico, who would have thought?! Yo Quiero Taco Bell!!!!! J This night we had dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant in the city. It was yummy and just what I needed on a vacay to Mexico.



Day 5 and 6 - The next day, we packed up our room and said goodbye to The Rui, making our way to our new hotel: ME Cabo!!! This hotel was… WOW! It was very swanky and modern, and it was no surprise that this is the place where several celebrities stay when they come to Cabo! This is the place where Heidi and Spencer from The Hills had their supposed 1st wedding, when they actually never got married in the first place (but that’s a totally different story), and where Bret Michaels took his final two dates in Cancun, and where the new Real World is held this season in Cancun! Anyway, this place was very “Tres and Andrea-like,” so we were content. Greeted with champagne and later pina coladas, we made our way up to one of the coolest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in! Only pictures can describe our view and how magnificent the room was, which is why I have included a few.

Pool!

While at Me Cabo we hung out at “Nikki Beach,” the hip and upcoming beach in Cabo, layed out at the pool under great canopies, ate a very nice dinner at our hotel restaurant, and went to Passion Club, a famous hotel night club in Cabo that was actually connected to our hotel! Most importantly when we were at ME Cabo, we did not leave the resort once! There was no need to… we had everything we needed there and it was so relaxing. Not to mention, another night with Sammy Hagar… we were not up for! All in all, we loved our trip to Cabo and would most definitely go back, but next time we will stay at ME Cabo the whole time!
