Cruisin'

(Beware, lots of pics)

Whew, it's been a whirlwind the last 3 weeks. We had Sonny & Carly out to visit, Peyton's graduation, Vegas, Mark's 32nd birthday and then the cruise. Not to mention that fathers day is this weekend. Eeekkk.

So, now onto the wonderful cruise. Holy moly, what a good time. This was my 5th curise and I forgot how much fun it was go to. The last one was 7 years ago and unbeknownst to me, little Peyton was growing in my belly. We were lucky enough to have Alec and Erica join us this time around. We played Bingo, they sang karaoke while we cheered them on from the audience, danced to music that made me feel horribly old and kind of grumpy because I knew like 2 songs, gambled and won a bit and ATE lots of food. This was just the first night. We went to Ensenada and saw the Buffadora better known as the sleeping dragon that is mad and will get you wet for waking him up! Well, not really but it was a good story to tell Peyton. It's just the mexican word for the blow hole. It was freezing down there. Thank you Alec for being gentlemanly and letting me wear your sweatshirt. I was a bit afraid I'd have to bargain with the vendors and end up with a USC poncho. I'm shuddering at the thought.

We did stop by Papas and Beer and had a few laughs at all the drunk people. Yes, I've been there in the past but I'm almost 30 now. I've matured a bit. Not much, but definitely some, hence the butt crack picture from vegas.

On the way back to the ship we decided to be adventurous and walk. We ended up in the local fish market which was very smelly but so cool. All the fresh fish that had been caught and was for sale.

Thank you to Alec and Erica who changed their plans to go to New York and vacation with us instead. It was such a fun time to be with family and I can't wait until our trip next year. The guys are pushing for Lake Powell but us girls have a different plan.

Mark realizing he got ripped off by the vendors.

Mark's 32nd birthday. It was one of my favorite shots.

Viva Mexico!!
