Sunday afternoon, our family--just the Cools--decided to take the bus to a nearby beach. The rest of the clan all headed down to Cabo San Lucas to do some shopping. The beach we chose was family friendly, safe for swimming and had snorkeling. Fabulous! Note: In Los Cabos, "family friendly" means a whole lot more than "no riptides." It means no strip teases going on at the nearby outdoor bar, and no (or few) drunken party animals. I learned that useful fact after a trip to Mendano Beach (which is not advertised as family friendly) later in the week.
So we went to Chileno Bay. The bus dropped us off, and we headed down. I took a couple pictures along the way...
Sean gave me a hard time for taking a picture of the cactus alongside the road, but it was really cool! All spirally and stuff. But I didn't take any more cactus pictures the entire trip.
Once at the beach, we just lounged around. Guyan and I lazed in the small waves...
...Owen was drinking plenty of water (gotta keep up the Chicken Man)....
...and Guyan started a coral collection (thank goodness we convinced him to only bring home a handful, and not the full grocery bag he collected).
About a half an hour before we headed back to the hotel, a musician that plays in local bars started practicing right beside us. He was singing Jimmy Buffet type songs, and did a couple songs from Grease ("Oh, Saaaaaaandeee..."). It was great. Felt like we should tip him or something.

Love the bus drop off point. Nothing like sending your tourists off onto a hike - not just alongside the highway but ON the highway. Couldn't you have saved a lot of money and just walked along I-5 here in Ferndale?
