Cruisin!

Matt and I got to go on a cruise back in October. It was a 10th anniversary / graduation present cruise! The cruise was supposed to stop in Cabo, Puerto Villarta, and Mazatlan. Because of "supposed" local violence they cancelled the stop in Mazatlan (I think it has more to do with the port doubling their fees). And then our PV stop got cancelled because of a hurricane - geez louise! So we ended up having 2 days in Cabo (no complaints here) and a day in La Paz. All in all in was a great trip - a huge treat to get away from work, home, kids, stress, etc. and to just have fun together. We laughed and had a great time all week long!


Matt just LOVES all the pictures I take :)






I HIGHLY recommend having a balcony - we loved it!



I told him he had to smile......and this is what I get?


Being out of the balcony at night was so cool.


I think this was on the tender (boat that took us to the dock in Cabo). Our ship is in the background.



Cabo was gorgeous!



Snorkeling



I asked a lady to take our pic....this is what we got :)



Matt decided to try parasailing. It was so stinkin cheap! But then we get on the boat and the handrails are all broken off and held on by rope. And then they open up the parachute...and there are patches of duct tape all over it. It was hilarious.









La Paz - it was gorgeous. Very quiet, slow paced fishing town. Definitely not touristy like Cabo





The entertainment on the boat was GREAT!



We made friends with a couple of the employees on the ship. I can't remember his name for the life of me....I'll have to ask Matt.
Our friend, Guapita (of course we had to take this pic on the one day I was super sick, nauseated, and grubbin it).  Anyway - it was so fun to visit with her and learn about her life in the Philippines.  DEFINITELY makes me grateful for my life, all the opportunities I have, and livin in the good ole U.S. of A!





A huge thanks to my parents for taking our 4 crazy kids! I'm already saving for our next cruise! :)
