Cruise - Day 4

On the 4th day of the cruise, we were in Ensenada, Mexico. We rented an ATV and some off-road vehicles and went to the sand dunes. After the dunes we went into the town and did some shopping.



Leave it to my dad to get his buggy stuck in the sand.


At one point in our shopping excursion we lost track of my dad. When we rounded a corner, we found him getting his shoes shined. It was pretty funny watching him get his shoes shined but I will say that his shoes have never looked so shiny.


Overall, the trip was a blast!! The only downside was that Adrienne and Rob couldn't be with us. Hopefully next time we'll have the WHOLE family! Thank you mom and dad for taking us on this awesome vacation!

Cruise - Day 3

On day 3 we were on Catalina Island. The boys played a round of golf while my mom and I went shopping. Ryan won the game of golf and has made sure that the other boys don't forget it.

Cruise - Day 2

On the second day of the cruise we were in San Diego. While the boys went on a tour of the U.S.S. Midway, my mom and I rented a GoCar and toured San Diego. Not only do these awesome cars get 80 miles to the gallon, but they have a built in GPS and they actually talk to you telling you about parts of the city as you drive past them. I'm pretty sure I want to buy one of these things! After his tour of the Midway, Ryan joined me on the car and we went and took some pictures throughout the city.

While renting the car, we saw the best of San Diego. A few of the highlights were the Ghiradelli store, Little Italy, Petco Park, and Balboa Park.

Cruise - Day 1

This last week my family took us on a cruise to Mexico. We had a total blast! Due to the large amount of pictures that we took, I've decided to break it down into several different posts. The first day of the cruise we boarded the ship and spent the rest of the day exploring the boat. Here are some of the overall highlights of our time on the cruise ship:

One of the best parts of the cruise was without a doubt, THE FOOD! Imagine being able to eat all of the food you could possibly want! It was absolutely amazing! At night we got to eat in the more formal dining room. Due to some booking errors, we ended up getting our very own dining room with our own personal waiter and assistant waiter. The food was SO good! We felt pretty special since we were the only people in the dining room, the assistant waiter just stood by our table the entire meal. The best part was that it was a 3 course meal and we could choose WHATEVER we wanted and AS MUCH as we wanted, and it didn't cost us anything! Talk about heaven on earth!

One of Ryan's favorite channels on tv is the Travel Channel. A couple months ago Ryan saw a special about cruises. In the show, the host talked about the towel animals the cruise line left in her room. Ryan thought that was pretty sweet so you could imagine his excitement when we found towel animals in our room.

One of our favorite things to do on the ship was the shows at night. We had soda cards so we got to sit on the balcony enjoying free drinks while watching the shows.

Another highlight was seeing a few "D" list celebrities. On our cruise we saw "Mad Mike" from MTV's 'Pimp My Ride' and Marcedes Lewis from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
