MEXICO...Part Cinco!

Here are some random pics of our fun times on the ship.

Have a mentioned how much I adore this man?? I do! Isn't he handsome?

Here is all of us with our trivia medals and trophies. We dominated.

If you have been on a cruise before you know that at dinner you are assigned a table and eat there each night and have the same wait staff. Our ladies are both from Indonesia and they were awesome.

Yes, we are TP'ing a door. When you don't drink, sometimes you need to make your own fun. And we did know the people!

SCUM. Need not say more. Except maybe that when we ended the ladies were in first and second!!

Dave on the waterslide. It was so windy, it made it very cold up there!

Second Formal Night

Our old husbands playing shuffleboard

Beautiful Mandy. Thank you for making us go on this trip!!!!

Have you ever played miniature golf in the middle of the ocean? We did! It was very windy and I thought maybe it would help me out but I was still horrible.


Every second of this trip was awesome and Mexico is eagerly anticipating our return. Soon, hopefully very soon. I heart you Mexico and Carnival Cruise Lines!!

MEXICO...Part Cuatro

La Paz!

We had to ride on a little boat for 90 minutes to get to our SCUBA spot...Los Islotes, where we were going to swim with sea lions. See the smile on my face? I was so excited.

And then I got in the water. It was so cold! Even with a wet suit I was shivering so bad and I couldn't get my buoyancy right. It had been almost 4 years since the last time we did SCUBA and that was in a hot spring. Way different than the ocean. Do I look terrified in this picture? I made Dave hold my hand the whole time, cause I am a big baby. But I did it. And he still loves me :)That is a sea lion in the corner, swimming by us. They were very friendly. Crazy Mandy was playing with them.

This is the beautiful beach we ate lunch at after the dive. Umm, can we just stay here forever?? It was so beautiful! After we ate the boys went on another dive while us girls stayed up in the warm sun.

Heading into La Paz on a bus. The town was about a 20 minute ride from where the boat docked so they had complimentary shuttles for us. The town wasn't that fabulous...or we just didn't walk far enough. The beaches are beautiful there, though.

A beautiful cactus at the Port of Pichilingue.

MEXICO...Part tres

Mazatlan!

This town was not as pretty as Cabo, at least the parts where we went. The men made us walk through yucky parts but we finally found the market. I was on a mission to find some real authentic mexican vanilla. It took some searching to find some and get a good price, but mission accomplished!

On the way to the beach

The beach in Mazatlan. We got there at about 3:30 and people were all packing up and heading home.

We all got some pretty necklaces on the beach.

This little old man drove us back to the boat. We got there just in time, we were the last ones on the boat! I can't believe that there aren't more car accidents, drivers are crazy in Mazatlan!

MEXICO...Part Dos

Cabo!! This was probably my favorite place and I am already trying to talk Dave into returning as soon as we can.

This is the beautiful sunrise outside of Cabo. We are beautiful, too!

We survived the zip lines and had an awesome time. I did run into Mandy and almost killed her...but she is okay now. They also served the best nachos ever. Seriously. I am going to return there just for the nachos!

These are some of my favorite people! After spending the whole week together I think we are still good friends :) This is them riding on a boat because one of them did not want to do something very fun.

And that fun thing is...Parasailing!!!

Back on the boat after sailing through the air. Can you tell we loved it? While up in the air we saw the resort we want to go back to!

MEXICO!!!

Our wonderful friends, Aaron and Mandy, talked us into going on a cruise with them. We planned for months, thinking the week would never come. When it did, we had the greatest week ever! Thanks to our fabulous parents for watching the kiddos at home, you guys are awesome.


This is what we drove through to get to the airport. We were not going to miss that crazy weather! Hello, Mother Nature- it's April! Enough with the snow already!

Here we are boarding the Carnival Spirit in San Diego. Sooo excited!!

We got on the boat as soon as we could so we had time to explore and of course, start eating. Here we are on deck overlooking San Diego.

We won a digital scavenger hunt...but not only did we win, we got the highest score ever! We rock. We also won a trivia contest and were awarded ONE ship on a stick trophy. Great, right? Umm, no. All four of us were on a team and we did not want to share that trophy. So, we spent the rest of the week trying to win trivia again, except our luck ran out after that first day. Finally one of the ladies told us if we looked over her new scavenger hunt she was doing we could get another one. Yay!

This is the first formal night. We had lots of fun dressing up!! Isn't Dave hot?
