Freddy and I haven't taken a trip without the kids for about 4 years! So we got super excited when we found out we had a ton of resort points to go to Cabo San Lucas with Spencer, Reta, Moe and Amy! To be honest, I wasn't that excited with having to arrange a babysitter, being large with child and I hate traveling. It really wasn't until I was there that I realized how much I needed it.
We actually left on Freddy's birthday and thought we would be able to celebrate in Cabo except the airline screwed up our flight plans and we ended up having to stay our first vacation night in lovely Phoenix. (At least that upgraded us to first class.) We ended up going to Ruth's Chris anyway for a nice birthday dinner.
So traveling at the beginning was not ideal, but as soon as we got there, I was really able to just let my hair down. I guess I never really realized how much time and energy the kids really are. I was able to feel like a normal person, pregnant and all.
We stay at Fiestamericana every time. The room was gorgeous and so spacious and thankfully had AC! It was 95+ degrees the whole time.
The boys surfed everyday. There was lots of pool time in all of the infinity pools. Many nights of going into town for dinner and movies. I even got an amazing massage! (Exhale...) And there was a day where I literally laid in bed, ate crap and watched what ever I wanted on TV. Do you know how many mornings I've woken up and longed to have just one day like that?!
Of course, by the end of the week, I was absolutely missing my babies. Grass is always greener... right?
It was nice to come home to my sweet children who I am absolutely too hard on sometimes and forget how wonderful and how good they really are. I have great kids. So blessed. I guess I'll just need to go on more trips and get pampered just a little more so I realize that more often. :)
Thank you Blair and Shanna for taking Brooklyn! She loves you guys! And thank you Heather for mothering the boys for the week. My trust with you kept me at ease the whole trip.
