Finally...an update on OUR CRUISE!

First off - we had a blast! My mom and sister survived with the girls, and they had fun in the meantime as well. It was so nice to go to the late shows, take naps, sleep in, work out, lay out, eat, eat, eat and eat whenever we wanted to without having to prepare or clean up - oh and the fact that I could actually sit down, relax, and enjoy the meal. It flew by way too fast.

The first day at sea, Mike won this beautiful ship on a stick for participating in a little gameshow...go babe!

We loved the towel animals they laid out on our bed everynight. I figured we'd spare eveyone posting the different animal from every night. You get the point, right?
Gosh, I wish I would have posted a bigger picture of this...all the fancy food at the midnight buffet...yum!
Beautiful Ensenda - we had plans to go snorkeling here, but there was a red tide so we just shopped and walked around...we had fun!
In case we didn't know, this huge Mexican flag - it really was huge - reminded us where we were:) and to reminded us to not drink the water.
Us in Cabo San Lucas - yes this is the day I got fried.
Mike Parasailing - I made him go first because the girl that went before us said there were lots of sharks in the water below.
Me Parasailing - Mike assured me that there were no sharks, so I enjoyed the ride and when I got back on the boat he said "so did you see all the sharks?" apparantly there were about 30 hammerhead sharks in this one area of the ocean and he said it was very obvious, but I wasn't even on the lookout because he lied to me about seeing sharks because he knew that if I knew there were sharks I wouldn't go just "in case" I landed in the water. I've only recently started having this phobia of sharks. I think I've watched too many "shark weeks" on the discovry channel in the summers past.
Us eating lunch at a really good little place called "the office". We had heard about this place from a few different people. I was really good!
On the beach...really, what could be better? The water felt really good too!
Those were just a few of the highlights while we were gone. The people on the ship were interesting. There were a group of a bout 200 swingers (not the dancing kind) that were in the disco every night...interesting. They all wore pink bracelets so you could tell who they were. Mike's favorite part was the 24/7 Ice cream machine, and mine was the pasta bar they had every night with the yummy pesto sauce. Carbs don't count on vacation, right? All in all I was pretty impressed that I only gained 2 lbs. because all I ate was bread, pasta, dessert, etc., and it all seemed to be late at night. For those of you looking into a cruise, we had fun and would recommend it.
