Together Again...part 2 {{ THE CRUISE}}

We set sail from Long Beach, CA headed to the Mexican Riviera. We had such a fun time taking advantage of all the activities and food on the ship.

The kids loved the swimming pools, water slide, splash pad, and the HOT tub! We were a little surprised at how cold it was...60 or so degrees outside! What??? I thought it was supposed to be warm?!

Fun times on the ship...

Our first port:

PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO

We thought it was so funny that the first thing we saw at the port was Wal-mart...had to get a picture of that! (and NO we didn't go!)

We only brought the little point-and-shoot camera off the ship , so the pics aren't that great...but you get the picture (ha!)

Our first plan for Puerto Vallarta, was a snorkling and kayaking excursion out by the Marieta Islands.

Here we are before the Catamaran took forever to get there...

Dale practicing his balance...or did he have a few too many drinks??? (I only say that because, everyone else on the boat DID have a few too many!)

Dale and Taylor loved the snorkeling! I would of enjoyed it a little more if Maddie would of liked it...she did come out with me, but we got a little freaked out when someone said they saw a jellyfish!

Taylor and I had fun kayaking.

After the snorkeling trip, we took the kids on their first taxi ride into town to do a little site seeing and shopping.

It was fun wandering through all the shops...looking for just the right sombrero...

Red and small???

Or Blue and Big???

Maddie went straight for the pink!

playing some tunes...

We finished the day off with some dinner at Senor Frogs!


Our first experience in Mexico was really fun...hot and humid! We got back on the ship and headed to Mazatlan...
