Cabo for Mother's Day

Devin and I left for Cabo at 7 am Thursday afternoon. My parents drove in to babysit and my Dad dropped us off at the airport. It was so hard to leave the girls but we had such a good time! We got to Cabo at noon and immediately hit the amazing infinity pool overlooking the ocean as well as the swim up bar. Devin asked me before we left if I wanted to do anything. I let him know that all I wanted to do was eat, sleep and drink...and that was the order of my priorities for the weekend. I ate Sea Bass, Hawaiian Butter Fish, Red Snapper, fish tacos. I also had sushi from their amazing swim up bar restaurant every single day for lunch. And don't forget about the best margaritas with fresh lime (all day long!) with some pretty amazing fresh guacamole and chips. I'm sure Devin is laughing right now because for some reason I like to tell him what I eat everyday!

It was such a fun trip but we were definitely ready to come back Sunday morning to see our sweet girls...plus it was my first Mother's Day! We woke up at 5:30 am to catch our flight and were back in Dallas for lunch. I got to spend the rest of the day with Kate and Lily after an amazing vacation. It was the perfect Mother's Day. Lily has even sprouted a tooth! There were several babies at the resort with their families and it definitely made me miss my girls. Normally I would be irritated that parents would bring their babies to a really nice resort, but I look at it totally different now. None of the babies were as young as Kate and Lily, they were between 12 months and 2 years, but they were all so well behaved and having a blast in the pool. We talked to one couple about bringing children on this type of vacation and they said they always travel with a set of grandparents. Sounds good to me! I can't wait until the girls are a little older and we can take them on family vacations. But for now I would like to freeze them in time at this current age and enjoy them being the perfect babies they are, and 100% reliant on their mommy!

Special thanks to Gigi and Papa for babysitting. Happy Mother's Day, Gigi and Happy Birthday, Papa!
