Loren wrote up a good report on our recent trip to Cabo, it's available here.

 More pictures to come soon.  Check back later!

After (finally!)finishing my degree program at the beginning of this month, I took it upon myself to do a bit of relaxing and traveling.

I started with a 4 day stint in Providence, Rhode Island where I enjoyed some rainy days inside and out with a long lost friend. I stayed at Dolce Villa, a hip little hotel in Providence's Federal Hill. The setting was perfect for my stay, and the company I had and the fountain outside kept me smiling despite an otherwise dreary environment.

I got back late Tuesday, and left again that Thursday. It was on to Boulder, Colorado for Loren's Ultimate Nationals. They played really hard, and seemed to have a great time. The ultimate kids are a really sweet bunch, I enjoyed my time with them. I'll miss watching Loren play while she's gone.

Next month (in a couple of weeks, actually!)Loren and I are leaving for Cabo San Lucas, to spend some time relaxing with my parents. We'll be staying at Playa Grande, where my timeshare is. What fun!

During my recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, I fell in love with a gorgeous resort called Playa Grande. Playa Grande is a rather large, upscale resort & spa located directly between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.  The views from the "Ridge" section were breathtaking! The very cool infinity pool on the Ridge afforded a view of both waters at the same time, with the Sea and marina on one side, and the Pacific Ocean and beach on the other.

We were treated to a very nice tour of their timeshares by Javier, a very attractive young man who doubles as a kite boarding instructor and a model. The unit we looked at was one of the most swanky places I’d seen in a while; the entire place was covered in marble and granite, and the view from the balcony was just as nice as the view from the pool. After seeing everything that Playa Grande had to offer, I simply couldn’t resist, and I bought a time share. 

I had a wonderful time in Cabo, and I’m hoping to go back soon.  I might even give kite boarding a try.
