Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Well, all the rumors are true: Cabo is AMAZING. Not only did we luck out with perfect, steamy 90-degree weather the entire time, but the food and accommodations were absolutely phenomenal. And trust me, I don’t use the word “phenomenal” lightly. (You’ll see what I mean when you see the pictures!)

Although there's an abundance of exciting activities offered in Cabo, what I appreciated most was actually all that it did NOT offer: no Internet, no television, no telephone, no alarm clock and no sense of time… just the sound of waves crashing against the smooth sandy shore to lull me to sleep at night. It’s the simplicity that I savored the most, realizing I need quite a bit more of it in my everyday life. It’s amazing how much more you experience, how much of the organic world you absorb, without a cellphone attached to your hand.

I spent most of my vacation laying out on the beach, snorkeling in the ocean with Finding Nemo-esque fish, reading good books, eating great food, cooling off after a dip in the salt water pool, drinking frozen cocktails and Coronitas, playing late night card games, and taking naps in a hammock. It was heavenly.

Now if only I could stop daydreaming about Cabo and get back to work, the trip would be a total success! (hence this late post)

This dress from Ruche is perfect for any warm getaway, especially my recent Mexican vacation. It’s dressy enough for an elegant dinner and casual enough to wear on a sunset walk on the beach.
