7 Days and 7 Nights!

I know you have been waiting to bask in the glorious sun rays that are emitting from my cruise pictures! So alas here they are! Collages and all, turns out they aren't so bad once you get your head on straight! I know they are a little late but better late than never!

( I don't know where and Jake and Jodi were when we took these, but they were on the ship somewhere! Sorry guys!)

Day 1
The first day we spent at Sea where we enjoyed plenty of rest, yummy food and sun!

Day 2
We made a glorious stop in Cabo San Lucas! It was dang HOT there but we enjoyed a water taxi tour of Lovers Beach. It was nice and cool on the water so it was quite refreshing and the beaches were gorgeous!

Lover's Beach

These sea lions were just laying around random all over the rocks. There were a few seals too! They were SUPER smelly, but it was cool to see them. The craziest thing was that there were crabs crawling all over the place around these beasts!

Day 3
Mazatlan! We didn't have anything planned so we got off the boat and winged it! We found a Taxi to take us to a beautiful beach. We spent a few hours playing in the warm waters of Mexico and getting pestered by Mexican vendors to buy their CRAP!

Trust me when I say that the vendors were half the people on the beach, but that didn't take away from the beauty!

Day 4
Puerto Vallarta! We took an hour ride in the back of a truck, no seat belts and trust me you need them more in Mexico than the U.S., to ZIP LINE through the tree tops baby! Does that sound freaky? Well let me tell you, I was freaked out of my mind especially just before I took that first step to my potential death! You are literally in the tops of the trees zipping from one to another with nothing but a hundred feet to fall below you! This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done! While I was totally scared out of my mind, I knew I wouldn't back out! It was awesome!

Here we are on our way to DEATH! We had to take a boat to get to the truck, THEN hop in the for the hour long journey to the JUNGLE.

I was a bit nervous! Hiding behind my protector!

The TRAIN zipping through the trees! That is a river below..yes a full fledged river!

RAPPEL!
He wasn't one bit scared! He just went at it, NO FEAR! He was screaming so loud I think the whole Jungle heard him. (happy screaming)

When you take that first step off the platform, it feels like you are about to jump. I felt like someone should have been yelling "STOP! DON'T JUMP!"

Again, the river and some serious zipping!

They had a few extra things you could do if you wanted. Like fools we did! One of them was to walk across these bridges, they were quite wobbly and much harder to walk across than you would think. But we were strapped on to a rope, so I guess they were safe. :)

Another extra was to climb these rope ladders (they weren't rope, they were chains and metal tubing but they were as unsteady as rope) to the top of the tree and then zip across to the next ladder! Both B and I thought it couldn't be that hard! Yeah right! About half way up we were both wondering what we had gotten ourselves in to, but there was no turning back! These ladders were deceiving. It was much higher than it appeared on the ground!
It was worth it though, what a VIEW!

Puerto Vallarta was absolutely beautiful! I would LOVE to spend a week there! It is kind of tropical, less desert more green and trees! Seriously this was my favorite of the 3 stops.

Day 5 & 6
2 more glorious days at Sea! Again we enjoyed plenty of food, sun and sleep. These days were much needed! Who doesn't enjoy a few hours at the pool with a good book, a little bit of sun and a guy bringing you a drink whenever you say "hey!" Brandon was sweet enough to let me spend some time in the spa where I received one of the BEST massages of my life!

We had so much FUN on the ship! Here a few random pics. We ate at Johnny Rockets,

it's a 50's style burger joint with AWESOME BURGERS! They had the staff stop to sing & dance every few minutes. We joined in a few times and of course Brandon got his groove on with the fellas! Up top, of course many stops in the CASINO! Not much playing though, mostly watching!

Brandon was so good with the camera! He took it to dinner EVERY night and EVERY night we took a pic. He thought that at least one would turn out and that would be our fancy cruise pic! Here are some of my favorites!

We had so much FUN and with such GREAT FRIENDS!
We love you guys and can't wait to go again!

Day 7

Back to L.A. and off the boat! Now for the long trek home! Austa Luego Mexico! Hola America!

Lastly, I have to give a shout out to my aunt who took Cannon for the WHOLE week! Yes about 8 days with that kid and she has long since moved out of baby mode! You are the BEST aunt ever and I really appreciate you and your family taking our little monster so we could go on this trip! THANKS! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
