Cruisin' with the Fam

We got a fun treat for our Fall Break this year. We went on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera with my mom's side of the family. There were 15 of us all together and it was a blast! The ship was beautiful, we had gorgeous weather when we were in ports, and spending time with everyone was the best. When we got home I asked the kids their favorite part and they had a hard time picking one thing. One fun thing was that we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite with a living room and balcony. We felt like we were living the life and every night they would bring in chocolate covered strawberries. Wow so spoiled!!

Our first port was Puerto Vallarta and I had arranged a jungle zip line tour. What an amazing ride! We were so glad we did that. Kenzie could not come with us because she was too little but was happy to stay on the ship with Grandma. At the end of the tour they had a little petting zoo and you could get in the cage with monkeys! Maddie was a little freaked out but we survived.

Next we were in Mazatlan. We were unprepared for the barrage of people trying to sell you something CONSTANTLY. It was amazing. Even Kenzie got good at saying "no thank you" every 10 seconds. We went to a resort and hung out at their beach and hotel. Very nice and relaxing (except for the salesmen). The ocean was the absolute perfect temperature so we spent some time in the waves.

Our final stop was Cabo San Lucas and it was our favorite. It is beautiful. Paul, Tanner, and I did parasailing and it was awesome! After that we met up with everyone else at a gorgeous resort on the beach. Lots less people bugging us there, but the girls did get their hair braided. We did not want to leave our perfect spot but the ship was sailing so off we went back to LA. After spending one more night at Rod and Rona's it was back to reality. We were just glad to find all was well at our house after being gone for so long. I think Simba missed us.
