Our Cruise- It's About Time

Back in April while I was off track we went on a 7 day Mexican Riviera Cruise. We went with our great friends, Nicole and Scott. It was SO much fun. Neither Seth or I had gone on a cruise before so it was all new to us.  It was great to have Nicole and Scott there with us because they both had been on a cruise before.  We always have fun with Nicole and Scott. We have all been friends for so long that we don't have to entertain each other or worry that someone is going to get mad. Anyways, it was so FUN! We ate A LOT,  relaxed in the sun a lot, and sat in the airport A LOT.

We stopped in Cabo San Lucas for 2 days. I couldn't believe how blue the water was in Cabo. When we were in Cabo ,Nicole and I just relaxed on the beach while Seth and Scott went snorkeling.  We also did some shopping and ate at a local restaurant.

We were in Puerto Vallarta for 1 day and did a Beach Hideaway excursion. It was so cool! We went on a boat ride to get to the private beach. Once we were at the beach they fed us a really good lunch. After lunch we had the rest of the day to be on the beach. We held a bird and monkey, sat on the beach, went snorkeling, and kayaking. It was so fun and exhausting.

Just a little bit of paradise 

 We spent a couple of days at sea. Most of the time on the ship we relaxed, ate food and ice cream, and went to the activities on the ship.

No clue what this is?
This one we know is a monkey
Not sure on this one either?

Nerds!
 We were sad the cruise was over but still got to spend some time together at the Long Beach Airport. Have any of you been there before? It is very small and made up of a whole bunch of portables put together. We spent a good 5 hours there. We played a lot of card games to keep us entertained.  

So sad to leave

Thanks Nicole and Scott for going on a vacation with us! It was a blast and we should plan one every year!!
