Cruisin' with my Babe

We have returned from what I consider one of our top vacations ever as a couple. We cruised for 5 days down to Mexico, and it was just as good as I had imagined (which isn't easy because I am quite the dreamer). Some of my top memories are...

#1-Eating tons of good food, in the company of some great friends. My favorite dishes were the lobster, prime rib, and enchiladas. Favorite dessert, chocolate melting cake which I ordered 4 of the 5 nights. Maybe that explains the major break out problem I am having and not to mention the few extra pounds (totally worth it)!!!

#2-ATV riding on the beach in CABO San Lucus

(This reminds me of a wedding announcement, minus the cute hair and nice clothes)

Tiffany and I were placed in the front of the line, so this is our view looking back at Steve having a malfunctioning ATV for the 2nd time. We did join the boys in the back of the pack after this picture, which was much more fun!

#3-Making my husband enter the 2 on 2 volleyball tournament with me. We received a wonderful water bottle and waterproof carrier when we won the tournament. I have to admit the the competition was pretty bad, but we still had a good time and made a memory.

#4-Kirk, Steve, and Andrew entering the speed slide competition. Steve won the competition by 1 second. The guys debated afterward for quite a while whether or not the time was accurate, which was quite a serious matter.

#5- Having a little fun with the girls in the jewelry section. We put on almost every ring in that shop- we were wondering where the workers were.

#6-Playing lots of card games, and gambling with jellybellys. Here we are playing blackjack, but we of course had quite a few serious hands of uno and phase ten as well. Kirk and I taught a few of the group how to play Nertz, and I think we have a rematch with Steve and Tiffany coming up in the near future.






#7-Shopping in Ensenada. I loved watching Phil bartering with the people. He did help us get a great deal on a cute Mexican dress for Capri.


#8-Steve and Phil cheering on the dancers and getting beads thrown at them. We love your dance moves guys!


#9-Having a clean room and made bed! Our bed in rarely made in our home because of Kirk's work schedule, so it was extra nice having it made and not having to make it was just a bonus!



#10- Returning home to these guys (and Hudson) too. I was surprised at how much they had missed us while we were gone. Bruin was so giddy when Kirk and I picked him up for school, Capri had been crying for mommy all morning, and Hudson did what any 10 month old would do: he clapped his hands, smiled, then crawled away to find the next thing he could get into his hands and mouth before someone caught him.

Thanks to all our friends who made this trip so fun and memorable. I am looking forward to our next adventure. Also, a giant thanks to all my family who helped with the kids and took such great care of them!
