the rest of the vacation

Okay, I'm buckling down and finishing our vacation post because I'm leaving again in 6 days to be with my Tiffany and her new baby...

Our room was beautiful and luxurious and comfortable. We had a balcony that looked over a pool and the beach.

This is a sunrise over the Sea of Cortez, from our balcony. Bruce loves sunrises, I prefer sunsets...

We spent a lot of time by the pool and in the pool. We could relax and watch the waves on the beach from our lounges or the back of the pool.

and this is the beach below the hotel

Los Cabos, Mexico

So, Bruce had to go to Los Cabos, Mexico for 5 grueling days of 1-2 hours of work daily. I couldn't send him off for such toughness by himself so I tagged along to console him.

We arrived in the middle of a storm and this was the view from our balcony.

The rain moved off that night and then we had this...

Life's tough sometimes.

Fall 2009

It's Fall! The weather guys have all been saying that if you want to see the changing leaves, this was the weekend for it because the weather is about to change for the worse/ colder and wetter. We've been having hot days and cool nights but on Wednesday, the days will be 55 tops. Exciting to have cold weather before I get to go to Mexico with my sweetheart. It'll make the sunshine that much more wonderful.

Winter Wonderland

I love the beauty of winter. We had our traditional January thaw followed by a brilliant February freeze. The sky gets so blue that it's amazing.

We got this wonderful frost/snow overnight to start this month out and the next night when the sun set we got this "sun chimney" at sundown. The weather guys were really excited about it and so was I.

Eagle Court of Honor

If you haven't taken us off your places to check... It's only been a month (okay, almost 2)David has now received his Eagle Scout award. The ceremony was great. The Gwilliam relatives were represented by Chris and Bob, Anne and Kevin, and Grandma Gloria. The Wallet relatives were represented by Grandma Rhoda, and she came the farthest. Glad to have everyone who came and made the day more special for David.

We also had many friends and neighbors join us. The high school drumline played for us and the program went smoothly.

When it was all over, there was a surprise for David arranged by his father. David's cousin, Justin Gwilliam is a pilot and set up with a friend to meet Bruce and David at the Ogden airport for a flight. The surprise was on Bruce though because Murphy's law took effect so the flight didn't happen until the next Saturday. It was great fun and huge thanks to Justin and friend.
