Cabo part 1: Maya and Tyson's wedding

On Friday we flew to Cabo for Lelaine's cousin Maya's wedding. We were excited to see family, and spending a week in Cabo isn't too bad either.

We woke up early in the morning for our flights to Vegas, Phoenix, and then Los Cabos. Fortunately we had a long enough layover in Phoenix that we got to meet up with my friend Jeremy, who we have been meaning to visit in Phoenix for about four years. Better late and brief than never, but we are definitely going to try to make it out for a real visit sometime soon.

We arrived in Cabo late Friday night and met up with Uncle Perry, Aunt Nora, Therese, and Felicia at the hotel, the Melia Cabo Real in the corridor, for a quick dinner, then headed to the beach for a party the hotel was putting on. Little did we know that one of the highlights of the trip would come so quickly when Uncle Perry joined a group of ladies on stage to dance to some booty shaking music. It had been a long day of traveling so we went to bed early.

Saturday morning Lelaine, Therese, and Felicia went into Cabo to visit the market and do a little shopping while I played golf with Tyson and some of his family and friends. The score was high and balls attracted to the sand - both the traps and the out-of-bounds desert - but I had a great time. It isn't every day that you get to play a desert course that is both in the mountains and along the water.

The wedding was just before sunset. Maya and Tyson are obviously good people as they had quite the turnout for a destination wedding. After the ceremony was a cocktail hour and reception. Being in Mexico, the tequila was plentiful and Uncle Perry decided to partake in a shot or five. That night some of the more energetic in the group went out to party in Cabo San Lucas, but we were pooped and called it a night.

Sunday we developed what would be a pattern for most of the rest of our stay: get up and eat breakfast under a big palapa overlooking the Sea of Cortez then spend the day lounging by the pool with trips to the pool bar for cervezas and margaritas, the snack bar for tacos, and maybe even wonder down to the beach. That night a group of us went to one of the nice restaurants at the hotel for a big meal before several people had to depart in the morning.
