A new animal greeted us every evening!

Our steward made a fun animal out of towels and it was great to see what what would greet us when we walked into the room.

our amazing servers!

We loved our servers. So kind, so attentive, so fun! Here is a sampling of their entertainment they provided for us!
They danced on top of platforms and had a great time!

Cabo San Lucas

So our greatest adventure gone wrong was in Cabo. We reserved an excursion through the cruise line called Eco snorkeling. We were to snorkel in two different spots. Conditions were bad for snorkeling but we were determined to try it anyway. Here are some of our pictures. Brad and I both puked in the Pacific Ocean due to seasickness and then on the way back our boat broke down. We were rescued by a nearby boat and taken to shore. From there a van from our Excursion's company came and got us and took us back to port 2 hours late. Didn't get our stuff till right before we got back on the cruise ship so I shopped in my swimsuit (lovely, NOT!). Glad I didn't know anyone there. After complaining we got 1/2 our money back (thanks to Carnival). Overall, we are glad we tried snorkeling but look forward to doing it in a better place next time...Hawaii? Caribbean? how about a Pool?

Working off the Desserts with a view...ahhhhh.....

Loved the gym where you could workout and see the ocean at the same time. We worked out three of the days there and had two active excursions so not too bad for a week:)

The Dangerous part of cruisin'....Desserts!

Unlimited icecream and desserts can be very tempting. I tried to limit myself to two icecream cones and day and 2 desserts:) YMMMMMM... However, this did not help my sugar addiction, so I am again working on self control. Brad enjoyed all kinds of desserts as well.

"Mom looks ticked!"

When we were clicking through all the pictures from our vacation with our kids we got to this picture. Spencer said "Mom looks ticked...I know that look". Sweet! (I was not ticked, just intently looking at the scenery)

Puerto Vallarta Mexico

Our first port was Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We went on the Canopy Tour which was zip lining, climbing ladders, repelling and bridges in the jungle. I forgot insect repellent so I got quite a few bites, but otherwise we had a great time. It was a great workout and was so hot and humid. We were drenched in sweat. After a crazy ride in an Army truck we headed off for training. After training,we headed off with our 5 guides to the course. Here are some pictures of our adventure...
