Our Cruise!!

What a Blast!! We had such a great time! We went with our dear friends, Gary and Karen. We drove down to Galveston on Friday night and spent the night in a hotel. Then Saturday afternoon, we jumped on board The Ecstacy for a 5 night cruise to Cozumel and Progresso, Mexico. In Cozumel we took the ferry over to Playa del Carmen to meet Gary's cousin. What a beautiful place! We hung out on the beach and did a little swimming, kayaking and parasailing! In Progresso, sorry, but we couldn't get back to the ship fast enough! NOT the most pleasant place I've ever been. I think it would have been better had we gone to see the Chichen Itza Mayan ruins, but Mark and I KNEW the kids wouldn't last the 3 hour bus ride...so we hung out on the ship for the better part of the day. The kids had a blast! They loved the kids club...well Jace and Caden did at least! Jackson wouldn't ever go. He hung out with mom and dad the whole trip. And it wasn't even cause he wanted to be with mom and dad! He was more worried about where Karen and Gary and "the girls" (aka: Lauren and Rachel) were the whole time! He absolutely LOVES them! They (Gary and Karen) came to the rescue, by the way! They watched the kids for us so Mark and I could actually watch a show and walk around the ship without chasing down little ones. That was the best part of the whole cruise! Is that so sad? I will ever be grateful to them for that! *sigh* Anyhow, we truly enjoyed our vacation! The food was great, the company was even better and it was so nice just to be away for a little while.

These are some of my favorite pictures from the trip! Enjoy!
