Cruise 2009

Well Steven and I have been soo spoiled the past few years! We are lucky enough to have been able to go on yet another cruise. This cruise was my forth cruise and Steven's third cruise. We usually try to go on one every year, we save every penny for a full year just to make it, but it is completely worth it. This year we got the pleasure to go with Steven's family. We usually go with my family so it was so fun to actually go on a real trip with his family. The cruise was awesome! We made so many awesome memories and had a blast spending time with each other. This cruise was out of Long Beach, CA and we went to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. In Cabo we went parasailing, which was awesome! We were 600 ft above the water and it was probably the most relaxing thing I have done in years. Amazing. In Mazatlan we went into the town and visited the Cathedral and shopped a little. Mazatlan was extremely ghetto and I was pretty uncomfortable there. There was a market where there were bloody pig heads, clothing, popsicles,and raw meat all in the same hot area. GROSS! In Puerto Vallarta (which was my favorite by far!) we spent the day at Krystal Beach. It was absolutely beautiful and amazingly enough we had the whole beach to ourselves! Leslee (Sis in law), Rachel (sis in law) and I spent a good hour or so looking at necklaces on the beach. We prob paid the lady's rent for a year with the stuff we bought! ha ha..
The boat was very nice and we had a lot of time to do whatever we wanted. We spent a lot of time in the game room. We also spent a lot of time in the casino, unfortunately we didn't come back with any winnings. It was still fun.
It was a perfect break from school and now I think we can make it the rest of the semester. If you haven't been on a cruise I highly recommend going on one, even if you have to save your pennies for a year or two, do it! :)
