When In Cabo Wabo!

As promised here are some pictures and details about our trip to Cabo! When we left South Carolina the weather was actually starting to get a little chilly so it really was the perfect time to head out! We arrived on a Monday and immediately fell in love with Cabo. Our resort was located about 10 minutes from the downtown area and the marina and was right on the beach. It was situated on a hill so you really had stunning views from anywhere and everywhere.

Our resort was called the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach and on the first evening it wasn’t hard to figure out why, the sunsets were fantastic! I mean, really they were something out of a fairy tale or a painting. Every night it was like they were too good to be true, the entire sky turned a deep orange and everything just seemed to glow :)

The ocean water and beaches in Cabo were so beautiful; the water was so clear and pretty warm for it being mid-November!

We rented a jet ski and rode around the bay area and then headed over to El Arco! It was SO cool! We had seen so many pictures online it felt surreal to be seeing it with my very own eyes! We even saw some seals swimming around near our jet ski, they were so so cute.

The neatest thing about our resort was the location of one of the pools, it was called the Sky Pool and it was located on the highest point of the resort. It just provided a panoramic view of the ocean and Sea of Cortez. It soon became our favorite spot to watch the sunset!

We were also lucky enough to be visiting during whale watching season which was SO cool! We actually saw whales on two separate occasions. The first time we saw a few fins and you could see the water shooting out of their blow holes but the second time they were jumping out of the water! It was such an incredible experience to see these gentle giants playing and showing off for us! We took a few videos of them and we will never forget those memories!

We loved exploring downtown Cabo and the marina, there were so many restaurants, bars and shopping areas! We ate dinner downtown twice and were not disappointed, I will never be able to eat “Mexican” food the same in America again! From the guacamole to the carne asada, everything was outstanding, especially the tequila! I can confidently say we blended in with the locals just fine trying different tequilas everywhere we went!

Mr Tan Lines did something really cool while we were there, he did the extreme baja moto cross excursion that he loved! He took a private tour through the beaches and drove through sand dunes and cliffs! He had an awesome time!

We met so many sweet and friendly people while we were exploring. The city itself is still in heavy recovery mode from hurricane Odile. However compared to the devastating pictures released shortly after the hurricane they have really come a long way. Sadly there is still much damage and work that needs to be done. Many resorts and restaurants were not open during our visit. Directly on Medano Beach you could see roof damage, pool damage and building damage. It was humbling to see the people of Cabo coming together, smiling and making every effort to get their lives back to normal. Cabo really is #unstoppable and we cannot wait to return!
