Ooooh, I've been so lazy since we got back from Mexico. We went in January for a family vacation. Challis didn't come but the rest of us went. We took the kids on their first cruise. The ship was The Carnival Splendor. The destinations were Puerto VAllarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. There were 2 other families that went along with us, our good friends the Saddlers, and the Batemans who we didn't know that well before, but we got to know really well on the trip.
We drove to California in a 4 car caravan. I really love a good road trip. There's nothing better than sitting on your butt with a good book and junk food. We got there and stayed the night then got up the next day and drove to the port. We were all sooooo excited. Here are most of us in front of the ship before we got on.
Here were all of the kids. I have to say that it was great to have so many kids. They all got along and had such a great time with each other.
My favorite part of the cruise is ALL of the food. I'm notorious for ordering 3 appetizers, 2 dinners, and 2+ desserts. Needless to say I always gain a TON of weight, but it's soooo worth it. Corbin really loved all of the food too. He takes after his old Mama. :) Here are a few pictures from dinners.
