The Adventures of Familia Bajaboy

We made our annual pilmagrage to Baja for Thanksgiving.  We normally head to Playa San Rafael to camp and then to our place in Bahia Asuncion for the remainder of the week.  This year, we were taking down tile for our recent room addition and decided to flip the trip heading to BA first. I noticed a screw in my tire on Thursday evening.  I was bummed as the tires only had 3k miles on them.  I went by Bob Baker Toyota to see if they would help me out since my truck was less than a month old.  As usual, they took care of me, meeting me half way on the cost of a new tire.  With the unplanned delay, we finally crossed San Ysidro just before 6 pm.  On top of the late start, we had an unbelievable lightening storm which lasted almost until Ensenada.  We had an easy trip down to San Quintin where we had a guaranteed room reservation at Hotel Villa San Quintin arriving about 11pm.. The next day we made our way south.  We picked up some burritos from our go to Las Pasaditas in El Ros

We decided to try out a little place we had heard about through the grapevine.  After asking around, we finally got a phone number.  We tried making reservations but were told it would take a few days to get the ranch cleaned up for us.  Ni modo...it was worth the wait! The drive from our place in Bahia Asuncion took about two hours but that included time to change a flat tire.  We did not know what to expect.  We were in for a huge surprise.  Upon arriving and getting unpacked, we were quickly in the pool. Life was good...we relaxed around the pool, did a quick hike around the lush grounds, and enjoyed grilling over the mesquite fired grill. What a great adventure....we will be back very soon....

Happy Holidays from our family to yours! Zac, Tracy, Gabriel, and Mikayla

From November fun 2011 I couldn't help but grabbing the camera and video tapping my son, Gabriel, playing tonight.  After playing for a few minutes, he started telling me he was traveling between his house in Bahia Asuncion, BCS, Mexico and his house in San Diego.  Of course, he needed to stay at the Baja Cactus Motel, in El Rosario.  He even went so far as to show me the locations on a make believe map.  My son's imagination is amazing.  It also makes me feel good to know that I am not the only one dreaming about our next trip down to Baja. Until the next adventure....
