ME Cabo




Exactly 2 years ago, we ventured to Cabo San Lucas for Cinco de Mayo. Not only did we have a great time but we conceived a beautiful little boy, Carson. "Hecho in Mexico" In honor of such an occasion, we decided to revisit our old stomping grounds... er... sands! We chose to stay at the beautiful ME Cabo Resort. Yes, the resort of many celebrity reality shows. Upon our arrival, the hotel was over booked and did not have rooms for us the first two nights. The concierge graciously upgraded us to an amazing suite overlooking the beach. This picture was taken from our room standing on our balcony:

For our willingness to move rooms during the middle of our stay, the next two nights were also upgraded by "The Level" concierge to yet another amazing room just steps away from the pool. The room had a huge flat screen on the wall with a Wii!! It is truly amazing how easily one can be spoiled. Yes, believe it, the picture below is the view from the porch of our room. The next one is from the pool looking at our room and the 3rd is Steve having complimentary breakfast on our porch.

There were many highlights of the trip. Too many to share in the short amount of time I have while Carson is sleeping and others that will not be shared due to their non-"G" rated-ness. However, one exciting morning was spent speeding through the sands on dune buggys! We took an excursion to the middle of BFE and managed to get really dirty. Steve, Mark and I were early to rise and headed out to the land of dirt, cactus, cows and more dirt! Oh, there was a beach too. It was really fun.



So, the story 2 years ago goes something like this...

Cabo + Mango Deck + Paco + Buckets of Sol = Baby Carson

We may have even nicknamed little Carson, Paco, considering he did come out with BLACK hair. Well, 2 amazing years have gone by and our trip to Mango Deck was blessed with the wonderful service yet again of the one and only (now manager), "PACO."



Unfortunately for the grandparents, there was no fathering of children this trip (at least not to our knowledge).


All in all we had a fabulous time and met some really great people (a shout out to: The "Dick's" from Grand Junction and the one from DC... Yes, we met 3 Dicks - a long one, a short one, and a "Rich" one.) We ate some great food and some not so great food. If you ever make it to Cabo, I highly recommend the Carne Asada Tacos from Mango Deck! Their deliciousness is beyond words! Adios!
