Thanks to David and Camille, we had a great opportunity to go with Mike's parents and siblings on a cruise. We had so much fun that we want to go on another one. I was scared that I was going to get sick because I get car sick, but I am happy to report that no one got sick at all. We flew into LAX on Monday and went to the ship that was docked in Long Beach. As we were getting off the plane David had a call from Matt that he had missed his flight. We were all a little scared that he wasn't going to make it. He luckily got on a new flight and was able to get a taxi to bring him to the port in time. Once everyone was on the boat we all hung out and waited for the boat to be on its way. We had a late dinner time of 8:15 which was 10:15 Texas time. The food was worth staying up and eating. After dinner we just hung out. Here are some picture of us on the first night on the ship.
Queen Mary it was docked next to our ship. View of Long Beach. Our first towel animal(Dog) :)
Day Two we were in Catalina Island. We had to take a little boat to the island. Once on the island we walked around and looked at the little shops and Mike, Matt and I put our feet in the water but it was pretty cold so we decided going back on the boat and getting in the hot tub would be a better idea. Once we were done walking around we got back on a boat that took us back to the ship. We just hung out and walked around to see what the boat had to offer. We went to dinner and then hung out some more.

Day three was spent in Ensenada Mexico. Went and saw a big blow hole and then spent some time walking around the shops and doing some more hanging out.
We got back from breakfast to find the person that cleaned our room put my sun glasses on our elephant.

Blow Hole ( If you look on the top right that is Matt that you can see) In the water are two ship wrecks.
Us with the ginormous and I mean ginormous Mexican flag. If you look at the picture of our view of Mexico from the ship you can see the flag in comparison to the city.

Day four was our last day on the boat. : ( We just laid out and got some sun, played some mini golf, and just relaxed.
Relaxing on our last day. At dinner on our last night. : (
Our last towel animal. Cute little bunny.
Here is all of our animals. We made sure we didn't mess them up.
Hope we can go on another cruise again soon. I think that if you haven't ever gone on a cruise it is a must. Loved It!
I have caught white fish and trout but now I can add bass to the list. All night I just kept getting my line caught in weeds and stuff so when I got the fish I just thought it was stuck again. All I remember was Mike saying that I had one and told me to keep reeling in. When it got close I couldn't believe that I really had one. I was shaking so bad out of excitement and couldn't stop smiling for the next 30 minutes. Mike got the hook out and he said I had it pretty good. I had gotten it in his lip and the bottom of his tongue. It weighed 2 pounds. I have some nice teeth marks in my thumb from holding him up. I still can't believe that I caught a bass!
Mike and I have been married for five years. Mike just graduated from BYU-Idaho in July with his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. We moved back to Texas where I am working and Mike is in search of work.
