Who needs March?

Well, apparently, the Haskett family took the entire month of March off. Sorry about that. We promised ourselves when we got into this blogging thing that we would keep it up consistently and then you just seem to forget about it. Being out of the country is a good excuse, right? We were in paradise for much of it...



Ah, Cabo! Our home away from home (I wish). It was another brutal spring break of "work" for me while Mandy worked on her tan and pool lounging skills. But this time around seemed to be even more authentic for the Haskett family. Besides our usual hot-spots in Cabo (I love Bulldogs, not the dog but the drink, to your right... tequilla, lemonade and an upside-down Corona; heaven), we really did a better job this time of getting out and seeing the town.
We ate the authentic food, we mingled among the people and we drove the authentic cars. Seriously, who knew flying down a Mexican highway in a third-world Nissan (anybody heard of the brand Tsuru? I hadn't!) with no rear-view mirror and a very violent shake if you get the thing going faster than 80 kmph could be so much fun! After all of that was over, we needed authentic drinks. Don't ask about that night! All in all, it was another tremendous vacation for us and something we hope to be a part of for a very long time to come!

We've been back for a few weeks and have dodged a few illnesses, 12-hour work days and await the return of 80-degree days in our lives.

I imagine Mandy will be on here soon posting pictures of our blooming flowers and everything else that makes springtime around the house so uplifting. But until then, Adios March!
