Our Thanksgiving Weekend

We had our own little Thanksgiving at home this year, this is the first year that I haven’t spent the holiday with one family or another… Kind of weird.

We ate around 2pm. Had a nice leisurely day at home. Matthew came over for a few hours and the boys played Halo.

Friday Nathan dropped me at Jessica’s at 6am. Polly met us there too. We all loaded up in Polly’s truck (which she had stocked with donuts for breakfast, excellent thinking P- they were much appreciated!) and headed out. We shopped from then until around 2pm. Then headed back to Jessica’s and wrapped some gifts.

Polly and I had decided we wanted to take advantage of the TV deals going on but didn’t want to wait in line at Target. On Thanksgiving I found a good deal at Sam’s Club so reserved 2 TV’s and we picked them up on the way back to my house so Polly could drop me and our new TV off. We love our new TV!!! It’s part of our Christmas gift to each other this year. Plus we got a really good deal!

Later that night Kevin called and was wondering if we wanted to see a movie with him (it was his bday). He wanted to see 2012, so we headed over to pick him up (he can’t drive for the next 3 months) and went and saw that. It was a great movie, highly suggest it!

Saturday was homework day. Then church and date night. We saw New Moon, it was really good, way better than Twilight. After that we hit up Applebee’s for half priced appetizer’s, num! Except the place was PACKED!!! Full of a bunch of teenager’s. It was weird to realize how long ago it was that I was part of that world, lol.

Sunday was chore day! Nathan finished up the rest of our homemade Christmas gifts and I worked on my portion of homemade gifts. I ironed ALL of Nathan’s work clothes, which I did as I watched The Bodyguard, yes it took me a whole movie to iron his clothes!!! I wasn’t even moving extra slow or anything, ironing is so annoying!

I then proceeded to clean out both of our closet’s. There are so many clothes neither of us wear and it was time to purge and pass them along to people who can really use them. I dropped off an entire car load at Chap’s on my lunch today…

Anywho, so excited, only 2 more weeks of school this semester! I am so incredibly ready for our 4 week break! 1/3 of that break will be spent in Puerto Rico!!! YAY!!!!

Anywho, hope all is well and everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Back from Cabo

We were in Cabo for the first time Wed-Sun, just got back last night.

Had an absolutely amazing time and we will go back.

Wednesday arrived at Tesoro Los Cabos around 9pm.  Had a 5th floor marina view room, kind of a small room but we didn’t spend much time in there and the amazing view made up for it.  It was so extremely clean.  The king sized bed was pretty hard, but we had brought our own sheets from home and I think that helped make up for the hardness.

After we got settled in we walked along the marina and ended up at Alexander’s for dinner.  Had the combination for 2- lobster, filet mignon, shrimp, and fish.  Pretty good.

Thursday we ate breakfast at The Crazy Lobster.  Super close to our hotel and excellent omelet breakfast and 2 for 1 drinks.  Headed to the beach around 10am and spent a few hours at Mango Deck.  Then we proceeded to get fleeced by the beach vendors, lol.  After Mango Deck we headed to The Office and it was a total rip off.  2 drinks, 2 waters (which we hadn’t asked for), and chips/guac/salsa was $30.  Had a ton of fun though and ended up back in our room by 2pm napping.

Woke up later that evening and went out for dinner- we ended up at Burger King, I’m ashamed to admit that we were in Mexico and ate at BK, lol.  But we needed greasy, familiar food.

Friday we had breakfast at Mama Royal’s- the stuffed french toast and fresh squeezed OJ was to die for. For lunch we went to Gordo Lele’s, it was so absolutely delish!!!  Had carne asada and shrimp tacos- num!!!  We loved his singing too.

Friday afternoon went snorkeling with La Princessa Catamaran, met some other people from MN that had 4 timeshares at Playa Grande, talked about that.  Overall I didn’t like snorkeling in Cabo as much as the Caribbean.  Water was too cold and not as clear, but the boat ride was great!  After snorkeling we were really craving Gordo Lele’s again so we stopped and got a few more tacos!

Saturday we ended up doing a timeshare tour at Playa Grande because we wanted to see the property we had heard about from our new friends.  We got free breakfast and free parasailing.  It was well worth the 2 hours since we wanted to see the property anyway.

Saturday afternoon ate at Tanga Tanga and spent the rest of the afternoon at Mango Deck.  We enjoyed partaking of their french fries right out on the beach.  Saturday night had fresh lobster from Lorenzillo’s- so amazing!!!  Later we went to El Squid Roe and Cabo Wabo.  Both places were pretty busy and packed, especially Cabo Wabo.  Had a good time.

Sunday breakfast at The Sleepless Lobster, another afternoon at Mango Deck, and dinner at Gordo Lele’s.

Overall had a totally awesome time.  Loved the food and people and Gordo Lele’s.  Can’t wait to go back!
