So, to celebrate our 5th Anniversary (4/4/2013) we decided to book our very 1st cruise!!!! It was so much fun, and certainly a new adventure! Of course we took lots of pictures, to tell our story!
We departed from Long Beach, CA on May 13th!
Here we are, about to walk on our ship!
The ship is massive! I've never seen anything like it.
This one is called the Carnival Inspiration.
Me and my sexy man! Ready for some sun!
Tues. we docked at the 1st port, Catalina Island.
Catalina Island!
We rented bikes & toured the island. It was so much fun!!!
This is us at lunch, and at delicious little Italian restaurant.
What a beautiful sunny day, with great scenery!
For our excursion on Catalina Island, we decided to try something new-
we went kayaking! We even saw quite a few sand sharks in the water,
which freaked me out, but we survived!
Each night, we would come back to a clean room
with an awesome towel decoration! It was so fun!
On Wed., we docked in MEXICO, and spent the day in Ensenada!!!
We got to see Ensenada's famous tourist attraction, a blow-hole right
on the coast, called "La Bufadora"
Then we went to a flee/swap market, where my favorite part
was the huge pina colada drinks!! YUM!
We ended our day with a guided horseback ride along the beach!
My first good experience with a horse- thank goodness!
MEXICO!!!!
My first time ever to leave the USA.
Our trip would not have been complete without the making of some fun friends!
We spent lots of time with these 4 awesome people, and were so glad to meet
such nice, fun people to share the experience with!
Overall, all though we had fun, Paul and I decided we are NOT cruise people. The rocking of the ship
made me super sick, and i did spend a good deal of time barfing. Paul and I agree that it was a great adventure though, and it was great to have a vacation without the kiddos, where we could just focus on
us. Happy 5 years!!!!
