Mexico Cruise/Senior Trip

First girls trip!  We finally made it into the parking lot after fighting our way in.  I got out to go find a bathroom and when I got back I started directing traffic so that Jayla could drive the car in.  It worked great!  Cars had been waiting there for 3 hours to get out of the parking lot after their cruise.  They had to delay pulling out of the harbor because guests and even cruise workers were having a hard time getting to the ship. 


The weather was perfect for hot tubbing when we finally got on the ship.  We had the entire place to ourselves for a few hours until the ship started to fill up.


It was different not having the boys around to get dressed up so we had plenty of time to get ready for formal night.  The dinners were amazing!  The deserts were amazing.  The company was amazing.  I miss my 4 course meals and all the soft serve ice cream I could eat. I'm having ice cream withdrawals.


Deck 4 is always my favorite.  It was fun introducing it to Deanne.  We watched the sunsets and listened to the water.  It was fabulous.


Probably one of my favorite pictures of the girls.  It was a beautiful day as we left the port.  Things were off to a good start.



We celebrated Jayla's birthday the second day we were there.  She loved that we made our server Jeff sing to her.  It was a good time.  She was a good sport and wore her sash and sometimes her crown the whole day.


The deserts were the best every night!  Ordering at least two was a must.


Playing mini golf on the sun deck.  Jessa was so so bad.


Cabo

Our first stop was Cabo.  This is the local beach in the port.  It was so crowed with locals, which was kinda fun.  I didn't know what they were saying at all, but they seemed pretty used to cruisers being there, so they just ignored us, which was really nice.  The water was amazing!  It was the perfect temperature.  We bought some souvenirs here from some fun shop owners.  They gave us a great deal.  I enjoyed the authentic feel of the port.  Felt like I wasn't in a touristy area so much.



Deanne was so excited to get a picture with the frogs until some of the local cruiser described what went on in there.  Lets just say Deanne couldn't post it after that.


The coastline on our way out from Cabo.




So glad Deanne came with us.  She made it a blast!  It was nice having another oldie there with me.



In Cabo we swam with dolphins.  It was a pretty fun experience to be able to pet them and interact.  They even taught us some signs for the dolphins to do tricks with.  10 out of 10.























Mazatlan

We opted for a beach day in Mazatlan.  We were pan handled to death and our heart strings were pulled on pretty hard all day.  The water was amazing.  The waves were huge.  We had a goodtime chilling on the beach.  We got some lunch and spent some money.  


The town was quant and the locals were the best.








Deanne kept losing her water bottle everywhere we went.  We went to guest services and the guy was like, yeah your water bottle was brought in 5 days ago!"









Puerto Vallarta


 


We took a boat to a private beach area with islands, slides, parrots, food, boating, ziplines, hammocks to sit on and the pina coladas were epic.



We ziplined into the ocean.


The water was gorgeous.
