Jordan and I had an awesome Spring Break!! We got to go on a cruise with my parents to Mexico. This was Jordan first cruise and he says that there are many more to come. Who wouldn't love a week of no cooking, cleaning, school, and work. Just pure relaxation and enjoying being together. We left Utah on Saturday March 13th in the snow storm which put our flight almost a hour late. Since it was taking so long to leave SLC we got to watch Blind Side on the plane. After a very long hour and half of digging my nails in both Jordan and my mom arms we finally landed in LAX. Sunday morning came and we got to go to our new home for the week. First things first when we got on we headed straight to the Ledo Deck for FOOD!! Here is a picture of us on my parents balcony in Long Beach.
The first two days on the ship were sea days. We enjoyed being lazy and playing some card games. Jordan and I creamed my parents in Canasta so they had to buy us stuff in ports. The second night we had a formal night. It was fun getting all dressed up and taking tons of pictures.
Jordan was such a stud in his suit. We loved it how everyone asked if we were brother and sister. (as we stood there holding hands) That night at dinner the servers danced for us but we forgot our camera. But from then on we took it with us.
Our first stop was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We got there around 7 in the morning and left around 10 at night. When we first got there they had 2 other ships in port. It's amazing how they can control the ships to swing them around and get in a very tight place without hitting anything.
This picture we took while backing into port. It's kinda looking the same way as down town were we spent most of our time. We grabbed a taxi and put our life's in danger by their way of driving. We walked around down town to the different shops and then headed back to the ship. It was pretty funny because we were there on St. Patrick's day and you could tell who the Americans were since we were all wearing green.
This was taken right when we got off the ship. Poor Jordan forgot sunglasses but since we won in cards my parents bought him a pair. Good thing we know our games.
This picture was while we were down town. It was such beautiful weather but after walking around it got really hot really fast. While walking down by the beach they had so many sand figurine's being made. It was so interesting looking at them and also seeing some of them being made. P.S. notice Jordan nice shades also our sweet St. Patrick day shirts.
The next day we were in Mazatlan, Mexico. We were the only cruise ship at this port so it wasn't that busy. We took a open taxi to the Golden Zone shopping area. We mostly spent our time on the beach walking around.
Once again the weather was so amazing. I love playing in the ocean but the water was a little cold. Jordan wore his Nike's and they got a nice wash when the water came up higher and he couldn't run away. He got a new pair of flip flops but that meant I could get a kissing picture in the water.
Oh how cute!!
This was one of the hotels right on the beach. I wanted a picture at each port saying where we were.
Our last stop was at the beautiful Cabo San Lucas. This has always been a favorite to bad your only there for a couple of hours. The water is to shallow for the ships to dock close so you get to take the little shuttles to the land.
Here was our ship the Splender. Our rooms were in the very back of the ship which was awesome so you could see were you have been.
Here are our new friends that we made in Cabo. The ship left there about 4 in the afternoon then we had our second formal night. Here is another picture of us all dressed up.
After leaving Cabo we had a "Fun Day" at sea. Then it was back to Long Beach which was really sad. The next few pictures are some of our new family members. Kinda sad because they wouldn't let us take them..
We want to thank my parents for a great week and we can't wait for our next trip.
