Why do vacations have to end?

Hola! The Lenas family vacation was to Cabo San Lucas this year. We all had a great, lazy time there - it was very relaxing. We stayed at Dreams, an all-inclusive resort. Unfortunately, the "eat to your heart's desire" part of the all-inclusive deal includes an "Oh yeah, gain a few pounds in the meantime" clause... :) Oh well, what's a vacation without a little indulgence?

We spent most of our time in the pool. The weather was pretty hot and humid, so the pool was the most comfortable place to be. Of course the kids didn't mind one bit! Our last full day there we were at the pool for about six hours; but sure enough, when we got up and started packing the next morning they both begged to go swimming one last time!

Vince and I celebrated our 13th anniversary while we were there. Janice was pretty adorable on our anniversary. As soon as she woke up she gave us our card (which she carefully hid from us until that morning). That night when we were walking after dinner she didn't let Nico hold either of our hands and walk with us. She pulled him back to walk with her and "shoo-ed" us along and told us to walk ahead of them...our romantic anniversary stroll under the stars I guess. Age 8 and already a hopeless romantic?

We met a few young honeymooners who, through no fault of their own, managed to make us feel really old! :) We also met a very sweet couple celebrating their 40th anniversary, sent on their trip as a gift from their children. The wife said Jan and Nico reminded her of her grandchildren.

All in all, it was a great trip!
