Jake had his Bar Mitzvah and we had no idea what to expect.  Shane and I went to the ceremony at  the temple and were both amazed by Jake's calm yet inspiring speech along with all the Hebrew he recited.  It was truly a proud moment to know Jake. 

Danons rocked the stage

By the end of the 2 1/2 hour ceremony, Shane thought he was part Jewish

Then, 7 hours later was the celebration!

Here is how Jake entered the room

Everyone hugging Jake

Lots of dancing.  I loved that there were 2 hired dancers on the floor to get everyone moving

 It's amazing that Jaime didn't fly across the room and crash

All the loot that was thrown at us while dancing

It was one of the most intertaining parties that we have gone to in a long time, just PURE FUN

Can't wait for Reese to turn 13

Los Cabos

Who books a vacation on a whim from a postcard they received in the mail at work?  Jesse does, and I ain't complaining!  We celebrated his 42nd birthday and our 18th anniversary with 5 wonderful days.  It was the most relaxing and enjoyable trip yet and we never once worried about the kids or really talked about them.  They were in good hands- Thanks Papa and Papu

Hyatt Ziva

Minutes after arriving at the hotel, instant vacation mode

 All-Inclusive food and drinks

 Evening stroll and swim in the Sea of Cortez

 Don't ask

 The water was probably the warmest I have ever felt it, 87 degrees!  You could swim for hours

Not what you think

 Mi Hombre

 Firepits on the beach

The first 3 days at the resort were a ghost town, we had the place to ourselves

  Jesse couldn't have planned a better location.  Who knew that when he booked it, there was going to be a swell and Zippers steps from our hotel!  Happy Birthday

 Tubed?

Evening show

Researching next surf spot

 road less traveled

 Excuse me, do you know where the best surf spot is?  Why yes, its Shipwrecks

 Shipwrecks. Jesse got a session in here and there was only 1 other surfer and some fun waves

We ventured out for dinner 1 night and it was a night to remember.  My friend Beth told us her favorite restaurant in the whole world was in Cabo, so we booked it.  We thought we were lost and asked the guard for directions to El Farallon.  Next thing we knew he said, Welcome Camps, go right ahead.  There was a 200 meter tunnel lined with chandeliers through a mountain!  Holy Moly

 Other side of the tunnel was the Pacific Ocean with a resort nestled in the cliffs

 Enjoying a few drinks in utter ahhhh

 Live music

 Heading to dinner, it was like we were in a movie

Us at dinner 

We went snorkeling at Chileno Bay, where the fish come to you

Next day was pure relaxation

Thank you Mexico for the amazing week, till next time
