    Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

    After our mini moon to the PNW where we were go, go, go we wanted to book a honeymoon that was totally relaxing. So, in August we decided super last minute to book a trip to Cabo. Neither of us had ever been to that part of Mexico and were looking forward to doing nothing but relaxing and boy did we do just that.
