Vamos a Mexico!

Okay, technically that's we're going to Mexico but we really went the first week of October. That's what happens when you're behind on the blog posts!

We went to Cabo and stayed at the Villa Del Palmar courtesy of mom and dad's time share, birthday gift. It was undergoing some serious construction. Ana and Tiff stayed next door at the Villa Estancia which was gorgeous. Like really, really super nice!

The trip out was kind of like the Amazing Race...with a baby. And no million dollars at the end. We were supposed to have a direct flight, but it was cancelled at the last minute due to weather so we had to rebook on American, pull our bags, re-check in everything (and there's a LOT of luggage when you travel with a baby!!), go back through security. We barely made our flight.

When we got to DFW for a few hour layover we found out that someone pulled Tagg's ticket so we had to go back to Delta for a new one which was a little difficult since there was NO ONE at the Delta desk. It had been closed for hours and the one crabby gate agent left wouldn't help us. Fortunately we found some nice Delta folks who had stayed after hours for a party who took care of things, and again we just skated in to our flight right as they were giving us our last call and pulling our bags off the plane. So our 2 1/2 hour direct flight turned into an all-day, stress-filled journey. Which ended with our patio being flooded with about 4 inches of water. At least Tagg was awesome the whole time, as usual!

Once we got settled, things were wonderful! We were a little worried about how Tagg would do with the food but he was awesome. There were a few things he didn't like...like lemons. But he loved quesadillas, guacamole and fruit. The kid ate it like it was going out of style.

He really loved the pool and the ocean and the sand and mariachi bands. He and daddy had a blast at the pool, and he was a hit with all the ladies. He also liked sleeping...anywhere. Maybe it was the heat but man, he was funny! We had Tiff and Ana pick up diapers at CostCo on their way into town so we wouldn't have to pack them...they got 144 pink diapers. Yep, pink. So the poor kid had to wear girl diapers all week. Hysterical. I hope it doesn't give him a complex!

We got to hang out with Mark, Jenny and Nikelle and her sister's family a bit, which was fun. There were some awesome moments on the stage with her son who will be a rock star of some sort! We had breakfast and shopping at the Office while Tagg slept, although he did manage to wake up long enough to pick out some great jewelry for gifts. We worked out and did yoga, enjoyed the views from Ana's balcony, went to the surfers' beach and Arts N' Beer, got some sun and had a few sangrias and buckets o' beer to go with our chips and salsa and generally just relaxed! The girls went out to sushi and to Cabo Wabo one night to celebrate Jenny's birthday which was really fun.
