We had an amazing time in Cabo. We are so glad that Lonnie and Angie were able to make it, as we had a blast with them. We spent lots of time hanging out at the pool and making full use of the all inclusive food and drinks (okay so maybe more drinks than food). We spent 2 days fishing. The first day was kind of slow, only caught 3 dorado. But the next day was great. We caught 16 (some were catch and release). By 9:30 we had caught 15 of them then we trolled around for Marlin. We saw a couple, but no bites. Caught another dorado on the way back to the marina. The place we booked the fishing through vacuum sealed and froze the fish so that we were able to bring it home. We brought home almost 40 lbs! We'll be eating fish for a while. We had the chef at the hotel cook some up for us Sunday night and it was amazing!
We also spent 2 days diving. The visibility wasn't spectaucular, as the hurricane had just come through, but the diving was still good. Saw lots of stone fish, some eel, a turtle and lots of other fish.
Our first trip down to the beach shortly after arrival. The clouds looked cool and the weather was perfect the whole time. You'd never know a hurricane had threatened our vacation.
Shortly after Angie and Lonnie arrived on Friday we were all at the pool just hanging out

Steph's big catch
One of Mike's catches. Love the markings on the dorados.
My cousin Angie started to reel this one in. As you can see she is quite petite, so she wasn't making that much progress. Lonnie helped her reel it in the rest of the way. It was the biggest fish of all the ones we caught.
Lonnie caught this pretty dorado. Another good sized one.
The chef cooked up our fish several ways - fried, baked, grilled - and it was all delicious

Celebrating Angie's birthday a little early
Angie and Lonnie helped us celebrate our anniversary with a bottle of champagne.
This is Emmanuel. He was practically our personal bartender. He made these rainbow shots for us. Believe it or not, all of the shots are mixed in the same shaker and as he poured them, each one was a different color. It was so cool - and they were good!
Another bartender inside the dance club made us this version of rainbow shots - also delicious
On our last day we stopped at the fire station and Mike was able to trade a shirt.
