A well deserved break

Grant was playing in a disc golf tournament this summer and won the door prize...2 free tickets anywhere Westjet flies.  Only hitch...tickets had to be used by Nov 7th....between me healing from a C-section, getting Madison's birth certificate and passport on time, and Grants work deadlines, we weren't sure if we were going to be able to use the tickets.  BUT everything worked out....and on Oct 29th we booked a trip to Cabo San Lucas...and left on the 31st.  Nothing like a last minute vacation in the sun to rejuvenate.  It was definitely a different vacation for us...I always wondered who went to a resort on the ocean and stayed by the pool....Ahhh....families!....haha.   (Grant did manage to get out surfing a few mornings)

Madison was a trooper on the plane (we were definitely worried about how she would handle a 4 hour plane ride)...apparently she likes TV....we kind of felt like bad parents....letting our 4 month old watch Tree house, but she was happy and occupied....at least for a few minutes. 

Madison spent the first 4 days sleeping (apparently she needed the break from regular life as well)...We were given an awesome little tent at my baby shower (thanks Marcia and Michelle), that was perfect for Madison at the pool side..her play mat fit perfectly inside so she was busy playing or sleeping in it.

Her first time in a pool....she loved it!!!

We met another really awesome family there...they live in Ucuelet (near long beach and Tofino).  If you ever want to go to long beach and need a great place to stay, check out their place for accommodation and surf rentals http://www.surfsinn.ca/

Madison makes new friends

We are now home...sad to be back to the sound of people scraping the frost off their car windshields in the morning,  but happy to be in our own beds and more relaxed than when we left.
