Dammit you guys, it’s been a hot minute. I have excuses if you want to hear them. But do they really matter?
Since we’ve last chatted almost everyone (in our home) started a new school year.
I took a trip down to Cabo!
We watched the LA Galaxy win it ALL!
Averi had her acting debut in a Finding Nemo musical’
… and last but most important, we celebrated the best man in our lives turn 80. But That will have it’s own post!
So, with that, here is the proof.
Some back to school shopping, first day of school pictures.
I am not ready to talk about how old they are getting.
Oh Cabo, the last time wasn’t fantastic, so why do we repeat history? ( wow there is so much in that question)
As we were booking this trip I whispered to myself, “this time it will be amazing”.
Because this time we were going to do things different. We were going to stay at a smaller hotel. We were going to forgo San Diego International and leave out of Tijuana. That’s what everyone said we should do, it’s cheaper, easier..
Side note: we live 10 miles away from San Diego International Airport. We live 26 miles from the CBX crossing.
So, I book a flight from Tijuana to Cabo. The Uber showed up on time and 25 minutes later we are at the CBX border. We got out of the car with our luggage and all the of the paperwork filled out. (you have to have your shit together otherwise you’ll be filling out papers leaning against vending machines before they let you through, oh and they don’t have pens so bring your own.)
We proudly show our paperwork and make our way across the tunnel (border) and into the TJ airport. The walk took about 10 minutes. And then we hit the line for the custom passport check and guess what, we weren’t alone. We were in line for about 30 minutes. After that, there was another check point and then there was a luggage check. We left a lot of time, I’m talking hours to get through everything. But luckily we reached our gate with minutes to spare. We jumped in line and then realized that we weren’t even boarding our plane, we were just getting on a bus to take us to our plane. WTF?
We eventually made it to our plane.
We landed in Cabo without any problems. Once we collected our luggage and walked outside I realized that we werent at the same terminal we were used to. I don’t actually know how manyYou know, the terminal that has the bars?
Little things like that aren’t a big deal, shouldn’t be a big deal. but at that moment I wanted to be where everyone else was. I wanted to the terminal with the bars, I wanted to be where everyone else was.
Our transfer arrived not long after and we were headed to our hotel.
This was a smaller hotel that was a short beach walk to Medano beach.
We sat on the beach all day every day . Had the best churros ever.
We ate fresh fish, molé enchiladas. Fireworks every night and stormy weather.
I need to mention that those fireworks went off every night. It sounded like we were being gunned down (Hi, I am that old. ) Also, the flamingos underneath us sounded like they were screaming for their lives. I’m not a fan of either of those.
With that being said, it was a nice trip. But I think Cabo can be put on the back burner for awhile.
The trip home was SO much easier even with a delayed flight, go figure.
LA Galaxy, if you know me then you know that I am a soccer person. We are the OG LA Galaxy fans. When we lived in San Ramon (1990’s) we watched the San Franscisco Bay Blackhawks. This is before there was MLS. Eric Wynalda was on the team and I remember running up to him after a win with my friends. Can’t do that anymore.
Nevertheless we are still a footy family. OG Galaxy fans!
LA Galaxy MLS Champions!
Now onto my Averi.
I want to be her when I grow up. She’s just so confident, she has that chutzpah, you know.. so sure of herself.
When I wonder what she got from me, she runs into walls and spills shit.
That concludes that last 8 months…maybe?
Next we talk about my dad!
