Cabo!

So after not traveling for fun over a year, we finally got the chance to get away and we headed to Mexico for a very short, but amazing vacation to Cabo San Lucas. We left very early Thursday, December 9th and arrived in MX around 11am. We stayed at the Cappel Padregal and it was one of the nicest hotel we have every stayed at. They had an Escalade pick us up from the airport and our driver was great. We stopped along the way for some cold cervezas for the road and headed to Cabo. Once at the hotel we were given drinks and taken to our suite with our very own infinity pool. Since Josh forgot swim trunks we took a taxi and headed out for some authentic shrimp and fish tacos and to find a swim suit. For dinner we dinned at one of the hotels very nice restaurants and went to bed a little on the early side. The next day we got up, had one of the best buffet breakfasts and headed to the pool for some sun and cocktails. Later in the afternoon we looked behind us to see John Legend and his girlfriend lounging by the pool. We had chips, quac and some tasty civiche along with a few more drinks and called it a day. We decided to get out of the sun and head back to our room where we hopped in our private pool. A few minutes later we heard a knock at the door and room service was bringing us chips, quac and beers. That night we got dressed and headed to the evening happy hour at the hotel bar and then out for sushi at Nik San. Saturday we had breakfast and another round of pool time. This time not only John Legend showed up, but his backup singers and some members of the Roots. That night we were going to the John Legend concert at our hotel. We went down for drinks and dinner around 6:30/7 and decided we should grab some good seats as it was first come, first serve. After a little finagling we got a two person couch that was almost exactly 1st row center stage. We grabbed a bottle of bubbly and watched as John Legend and The Roots performed along with Joss Stone. It was amazing!! The next day we had breakfast, packed up and headed back to MN just missing the 10th biggest snowstorm ever on record. We both fell in love with the hotel and Cabo and cannot wait to return!
