Mexican Riviera Cruise

Jason and I went on a cruise over Spring Break.  We went down to the Mexican Riviera and had a ton of fun!  Here are some highlights.

We were always eating!

This is one of the fancy, dress up nights at dinner.

One of our friends that went with us.

 We nick-named these chairs 'the adult Bumbo'

 This is Hector, we met him last year in Cabo.  Fun to see a familiar face.

 Lands end behind us.

 We went on mini subs.  Here we are waiting to get in them.

There are the mini subs.

Cruise Day 9

 Day 9

 We were super sad that the cruise had come to an end!  We couldn't wait to get back to our little man though!  10 hours in the car was something that we certainly were NOT looking forward to.

 Here is mom and dad loading all of our luggage back into the truck to start heading for home.

 

Jason and me goofing around in the parking garage while everything is getting loaded in the car.  Although it was a squishy ride we save a ton of money driving with my mom, dad, Kurt, and Shaileen!

 Shai and me showing how sad we are now that the cruise is over!

Since we have been home Jason has been looking into going on another one.

Cruise Day 8

 Day 8

 

Another fun day at sea.

We did some of the activities on the ship.  We did some trivia things, but never got close to winning anything.Kurt, Shai, Jason, and I participated in a digital scavenger hunt. It was a lot of fun.  Here are some of the pictures we took to document the hunt.

We had to give hugs to 5 strangers.  Here I am with Marcelo, one of the cruise directors.

Here is Shai with a chef.  We had to wear a chef hat and have them dance with us.

We also had to introduce ourselves to a worker clearing a table and help them.

We had to propose to one of the staff members.  Jason decided to take this one on, so here he is with Shai's ring proposing.

We had to ride down the water slide.  None of us were in our swimming suits so we were thinking of skipping that one, but the slide wasn't open so that one became really easy.

We had to go to the little kid pool and do the chicken dance.  If we could get at least 3 kids to dance with us it was worth extra points.  They thought that we were crazy, but we succeeded in this task.

We completed all but 2 tasks: getting people to dance with us up on the main deck and learning to create an animal from a towel.  We tried the dancing thing but people just looked at us funny and wouldn't join. Although we didn't complete everything, we did come in 2nd place and received a medal of peace and love.

 

Just in case you were wondering, the medals were totally real.

This is how I feel when I don't win 1st place.

 

Jason, Arnie, and I on our last night at dinner.  He knew all of our names and would say hi to us when he saw us around the ship.  He really was great and totally deserved the employee of the month!

This is the last towel creation we received on our bed.  One day the guy that was talking care of our room asked us if we needed anything extra and I asked for an extra mint, so each night we got a couple of extra mints on our bed.
