Quinn's First Swim, April 2008
April 15 - 23, 2008: People say that having a baby will change your life. This is absolutley true... but it does not have to turn you into old grandparents. With baby passport in hand (oh yes!), we packed up the family and left for Cabo, Mexico. This trip was special as our hosts Heidi and Marc not only generously offered their beautiful Casita to us, but extended the inviation to our friends Lara, Niclas, and Sarah. One thing you can always count on in Cabo is sun and it was blazing with blue skies and 90 degrees everyday. Lisa, Quinn, and I enjoyed the first days at the pool and beach. I hit up a local fisherman for some fresh marlin on day 2 and offered some gorgeous "margarita" grilled fish steaks for everyone. The left overs turned into fish tacos they next day and Lara showed us her "O" face... I think she liked them. Freelance, Quinn, and I were up for some beach and pool action on Day 3 and Niclas and Sarah joined the party that evening. After relaxing, we all hit the spring beach party hosted by the Real Estate organization with pig roast and DJ. This was a combination prom, wedding, and millionare retirement home mixer all rolled into one. Too funny! On Day 4 the guys hit the links for a golf scramble. Our team included Rich (a local Real Estate agent), Marc, Niclas (aka BN or Big Nick), and I... needless to say... last place was our calling but the course provided amazing vistas and lots of laughs. That night we ventured to the One and Only Hotel (5 star) and negotiated our way into the resturant called Aqua. Security was high due to Eli Manning getting married on the beach. Dinner and drinks were great and the wedding party seemed to be living the good life in this perfect setting. On Day 5 we hit the beach. I had to serve Niclas some humble pie by whipping him at bocci ball and Lara even braved the surf and got in the ocean. That night we just chilled by the BBQ and enjoyed a full moon. Day 6 was Marc's 35th Birthday and we started with a bday breakfast and presents. Heidi was a planning machine and arranged entertainment (a local band), a gourmet dinner, decorations and all. After breakfast we hit Cabo and enjoyed a water taxi out to "land's end" and the famous Cabo Arch. Just beautiful. We walked the town and did an unofficial guacamole tasting at several local establishments, then back for the big party that evening... great night!! Day 7 was sad as Niclas and Sarah had to leave but Lara, Quinn, and I had a very nice day at the pool where I again negotiated some fresh fish. This time yellow fin tuna.. the best cuts... and we decided to take it to a gourmet resturant in Old San Jose del Cabo. They prepared it and served it to us with rice, fresh veggies, and local Mexican Wine.... wow... ! Overall the trip was just great and had it's full share of laughs, interesting moments, and memories for a lifetime. Thanks again to Marc and Heidi for making it possible.
