Cruise Day 4

Day 4

We arrived in Cabo San Lucas!  It was super exciting to be able to get into Mexico and go on an excursions.  Cabo doesn't have a place big enough to dock a cruise ship so it anchors in the bay and we have to take little boats they call tenders to land. 

This is us on the tender into Cabo.

Jason and Me on the tender.

When we got to the shore we didn't have any concrete plans so we walked a little way down the street where many vendors are lined up trying to get you to choose them.  We got to the end of the "road" and Brad, my brother in law, went up to the last guy, Hector, and got a pretty good deal on our events for the day.  We set up a boat tour up the shore, snorkeling on Pelican Beach, and jet skiing.  We were super excited  to start our day!  Lucas was our boat driver, he took us to this huge rock that had a ton of sea lions.  It was so fun to see the sea lions laying out in their natural environment.  While we were in the boat looking at the sea lions Lucas almost got us in a boat crash.  We were seriously inches away from hitting another boat, ahhh! 

Here we are on our boat tour, with Lucas in the background.

Lucas dropped us off with snorkle gear on Pelican beach for 2 hours.  The water was super crowded with boats, but very clear water.  We swam out to some coral and were able to see some pretty fish.  I spotted a star fish, a trumpet fish, and some other pretty fish I don't know the names of. 

Here I am in front of the family in the water.

Jason at Pelican beach, what a stud.

Here we are again, but this time together.  Jason couldn't get enough snorkling.

Hilarie, Bret, Dad, Brad, and Jason playing in the water.  Hilarie was scared to snorkle but dad took her out to teach her, and she ended up loving it!

A glimpse of Pedro, one of the sea lions.  There were two of these guys that hung around the docks.  These guys would swim around in the marina and follow the fishing boats begging for fish. In Cabo they call these guys stray dogs.  They are such beautiful creatures!

Here is what the tenders look like.

All of the girls bought dresses on shore.  There was a lady selling them on the beach and the one I bought was on top and I instantly loved it and had to have it.  After I went over to inquire about the dress all of the other girls came over to look at them too.  We all got the same type of dress, but they are all different colors.  So we decided to wear them to dinner that night.  Here I am in my dress.

Here is our cute towel animal for night 4.
