Mexico

In my attempt to catch up with my blogging I've had to get out of order with my postings. Anyway, in June Christina and I went to Cabo San Lucas on the Baja Peninsula Mexico. My previous experience with Mexico was at five years old when I went to Tijuana when we visited mom in San Diego. Cabo was a blast, it wasn't the tourist season so we didn't have a ton of people hogging up the beach.






Here is a photo from our last night in Cabo, we did a dinner cruise where the ship went along the entire beachline, including the world famous arch.













Famous Arch!










Of course no trip to Cabo would be complete without a visit to the Famous Cabo Wabo bar.














Here we are on our kayak trip. My oar broke about a hundred yards out, which was frustrating because then only one person could paddle us out to Lover's Beach and back.













A beautiful Mexican sunset.












One thing that impressed us the most during our time in Mexico was the food. There was a ton of great food (at pretty reasonable prices). We had steak, fresh seafood and good Mexican beer.














Here was a view from the street. The beach was filled with restaurants and bars.












This beach is right near the famous arch, we kayaked to the Lover's Beach and then walked about a hundred yards to the Pacific side of the peninsula. The waves were much too strong to swim on this side. But it was a very beautiful beach.











Here we are having a margarita at one of the beach side bars.










This was the swimming pool at the hotel we stayed at.

New Additiion to our family!

So I know it has been far too long since my last post. However, I am not giving up on this whole blogging thing. So, as most people know earlier this summer Christina and I found a dog on Craigslist (for free!). It did take us a couple of days to give him a name, but sticking with the K theme we settled on Knox. He is mostly black lab with a bit of weimaraner. So, without further adieu we present Knox the Dog:;






Here is a sleeping Knox on one of the first days after we got him.

















Here are some more Knox shot, including him playing with his friend Callalilly the white Husky puppy and Zookie the Lab/Collie mix.


















Of course you can't have a blog about pets without mentioning the lazy cats.





















The picture on the right is from when Christina and I took Knox for a hike at Ledges State park about an hour north or Des Moines.










I like to think of this last one as Knox's hunting pose. Maybe one of these days I can get him to some birds.
