We Love Cruisin'
We recently got back from a wonderful cruise to Mexico. We spent 5 days on the Carnival Elation ship with around 30 people to celebrate Sheri's 50th birthday. The first morning at sea we had to turn around so that the US Coast Guard could get a passenger with a life-threatening illness to a hospital in San Diego. It was interesting to see the helicopter hover over the boat and dropping a basket to rescue the man. I've attached a picture of it. Because of that we were about 4 hours late getting into Cabo San Lucas. In Cabo, we rented a van that took us to a beach. It was a bit of a party beach with lots of music and bars. The girls had a great time playing in the water even though it was a little cold. Unfortunately, that morning Bill threw out his back so he just sat on the beach and watched. We stayed for a couple of hours and then headed back to the ship.
Brianna and Alyssa really enjoyed Camp Carnival. We would drop them off to play for a couple of hours at a time. 2 of the nights we took them there instead of the fancy dinners where they got very ansy. They had a lot of fun playing with their cousins, Natalee and Parker too who they don't get to see very much.
On Friday we went to Ensenada. We took a great tour to La Boufadora (it's a natural water spout). There are only 3 in the world. The weather was beautiful the whole trip. Not a cloud in the sky. A little cool at times but we weren't complaining. Overall, we had a great time. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Sher's birthday. Our friend, Nicole did an awesome job planning the trip and coordinating everything. Thanks again, Nicole!
Bill and I are really enjoying our new church. We are planning to join a small group on Wed. nights. It's supposed to start in a couple of weeks. Hopefully we'll be able to meet some new people and really grow in our faith.
After the cruise and all of the overeating we did, Bill and I are trying to be good and hopefully lose some weight. We only have dessert once a week. Brianna and Alyssa have been pretty good about this, even though it isn't always easy. I sure miss ice cream!
