Cruisin’

Jess and I took the opportunity to go enjoy some alone time.... well because we can! We don't have any ‘Y’ittle ones yet and I have this whole year before I even have the prospect of going to PA school. So we found the least expensive vacation we could find, i.e. "cruisin". We have never been on a cruise and decided it would be a good way to relax and not have to worry about how to go here, there and everywhere; the boat would simply take us, plus take care of our need for nourishment.

   Here is Jessica and our cruise ship, the Carnival Paradise.

 

Jess and I saw a couple of kids feeding the seagulls some ice cream. I guess it didn’t sit very well with them

A picture of Catalina Island…. Avalon city is just to the left of this picture.

 

Jessica enjoying the beautiful weather in Avalon.  

A compiling of numerous photos taken from where the divers come out of the ocean and enjoy the beautiful skyline.

Jessica would drink a cup of hot chocolate almost every meal I guess it didn’t warm her up enough this time.

Ensenada, Mexico

 

La Bufadora (the blow hole) and supposedly the largest in the world which is found just south of Ensenada.

 

Here is our dinner group.

Last day of the Cruise… enjoying the sunset.

…really enjoying the sunset!

And they lived happily ever after.

We both decided cruises aren't the best... vacations. Actually Jessy is the one that stated over and over again how wonderful our Belize trip was! Once again 'thank you Dad' for a fabulous trip that will be forever in our memory. This cruise was for us to be alone and from our own means as a much needed break. I enjoyed the vacation! Just lounging around was amazing! Jessica enjoyed watching all the piglets stuff their faces from the greasy cruise food. It was crazy how much food the others on the cruise could eat. I also think it would be more fun to go somewhere with more to see (Bahamas) instead of feeling molested by the locals in Ensenada's Gangland. We also agreed that cruisin' could be much more fun with friends and family to enjoy the plentiful activities that didn't quite peek Jessica's and my interest. Anyway, sorry for the drought of posts. We should do some much needed backposting.
