Finding a good friend is a rare occurrence & I have been lucky enough to find many. I have been best friends with a group of girls since we were 11 & 12 years old. Last week I was lucky enough to go to Cabo San Lucas with 2 of them for 5 days. No children, no husbands, just us girls. Books, magazines, fruity drinks, beautiful scenery, the sun & lots of laughter.
Upon our arrival Heather & I decided to start our vacation off with a cocktail while we waited for Kristy to arrive. We grew up 3 houses apart & were inseparable so it's really nice to have these vacations to spend hours together catching up in person & we couldn't be happier to be together!
I have only had sips of wine for the last 4 years so after one pina colada I was feeling pretty happy. 
So we just sat in deck chairs & watched the sun go down over the condos. 
We used our 1st night together to have a quiet dinner just trying to unwind & get in vacation mode. Each of our mornings started with a workout (heaven for me since I love working out & only get to do it a few days a week), a nice breakfast in the room & then some hours spent at the pool. We spent most of the day just laying in the sun reading books (& sometimes reading in the pool)
& we were very happy to partake in happy hour. Who can pass up 2 for 1 drinks? (Not Kristy)
Our 2nd night we took a cab in to town to have a nice dinner on the marina with some music & were highly entertained with a lot of people watching because we happen to be on vacation at the same as a ton of festive spring breakers.
One of our days was little overcast but still warm so we decided to head in to town for some souvenir shopping followed by a long dinner. (Again heavenly since most of my dinners are eaten cold trying to keep 3 children from getting upset at the table.) On a recommendation we ate at Sunset de Mona Lisa. A beautiful restaurant overlooking the town of Cabo right on a cliffside. We were the 1st people at the restaurant so we were given a great table with an amazing view.
Right as we were seated Kristy commented that we should make this a 4 hour dinner & we did that plus an extra hour for good measure. We enjoyed a cocktail, appetizers, salad, a main course, wine, dessert & coffees. And just like all the other diners who eventually arrived we took lots of pictures. 
Our last full day together was once again spent in the sun by the pool followed by a great dinner on the beach. The next day Heather & I left for home leaving Kristy to enjoy her last 2 days on vacation privately with most likely some welcome quiet. Thank you so much for making this vacation possible & opening your condo to us. I miss you & really wish you didn't live all the way in Boston. 
Until next time I leave you with this last photo of us longtime friends together. I hope we don't have to wait another 10 years for our next vacation & hopefully next time all 6 of us will be able to spend an amazing few days together. I love you girls! And thank you so much Rick (& my family) for giving me the opportunity to do this. I missed you lots.
