Spring Break

What an amazing Spring Break we had. We have wanted to go on one more BIG family trip with just the six of us before Amberly graduates next year because we figure our family will change rapidly after that. We decided 3 years ago to do a cruise and this is the year it worked out best. Kevin made all the arrangements with his favorite travel agent and we had an amazing time on the Mariner of the Sea with the Royal Carribean cruise line.

Saturday we quickly loaded our packed luggage, had a quick bite to eat and headed to my Aunt's house in Orange, CA at about 6:00am. We made good time and only took 11 hours. That's with 4 stops too. My uncle Darrin and his wife Jill and my cousins Renee and Brent were also there that week-end. We had a nice relaxing time in the hot tub and then visited with everyone until bedtime. Thanks Auntie for being so generous. We really appreciate you letting us stay with you for the night. We love you and your family very much.

After going to Church Easter Sunday, we headed to San Pedro and got on the beautiful ship we would call home for the week. We had a bit of trouble with the staterooms, but ended up getting a nicer one for Kevin and myself for the trouble so it was worth it.

The entertainment and shows were incredible. It was like having broadway shows every night.

The food was beautiful land delicious.

Sadly, Amberly and Cammie got REALLY BURNED on Monday and spent the trip walking like old ladies. They tried to have fun despite their discomfort and I really appreciate that.

More Yummy food!

Guess what Jeffrey did whenever I wasn't making him go to a show or meet us for dinner! Yep! Basketball.

Our Snorkeling Tour in Cabo San Lucas was lots of fun.

Mazatlan was pretty laid back because we didn't have an offical tour, but went to a Resort to enjoy the pool and beach and do a little shopping. Here is Cammie doing a little bargaining.

Janna and Amberly enjoying the ocean and sand.

By far, our favorite excursion was the Canopy Tour in Puerta Vallarta. It had 14 ziplines and it was SOOOOO fun. We all loved it.

The ship is very elegant and clean and BIG. Here is a picture of Kevin looking at the promenade. The art work was fabulous and I spent Saturday taking pictures of the art and hope to make some scrap pages to put on as time goes on. I have so many pictures it might take awhile.

Here we are all dressed up for the night we went formal. There were two formal nights, but we only went to one of them. Our dining room was called Rhapsody in Blue. Here we are posing in front of the sign.

There is much more to tell about, but it will have to come a little at a time. I'm really glad we could have such a wonderful family experience and hope we will remember it forever.
