Blah Blah Blah(g)ing: Cabo Countdown

Dear Nana & Bampa,

I know I have said it out loud many times, but it's true... Cabo is our happy place. And I want to thank you for this...this happiness that you offered up so many years ago, and have selflessly offered up again and again, year after year.

A place for us to go and be with family. To visit with you. To enjoy time together.

The memories you've granted your grandchildren are many, and are almost beyond words to describe.

Thank you for opening this world to us.

Thank you for providing us a place where our children play in the surf with complete abandon.

And at least one of them really gets down with the sand...

Thank you for this wonderful place where sometimes the most magical of opportunities awaits.

Thank you for the most important memories...the ones revolving around family. Cousins that we do not see enough of sometimes come and when we are together again, it's as if we see them everyday. Your grown children are close, it makes sense that their children, even with miles separating them, will feel close to each other as a result.

And new cousins, newly hatched...we get to hold them and play with them while they are still babies. So special.

Thank you for making each birthday since Kennedy's very first one a memorable occasion. Memorable because we have to find cakes in Mexican bakeries, memorable because she gets to blow out candles with the sound of the surf crashing nearby, with the smell of salt in the air, with rows of braids and beads in her hair, her face sun-kissed and bright.

Memorable because she gets to share the birthday spotlight with Bampa.

Thank you for our happy spot, where we go year after year and see the same nice families, and see the children of these families grow...just as our children are growing. Friendships have been formed, even though they see each other only 7 days out of 365. The magic of this place is not lost on these girls, I know that they feel it too.
