Breaking Summer in ;)

So........yes, this blog may be a little bit delayed (we've been home from our cruise for 3 weeks already) but at least I am finally getting around to it. Our mid-May Carnival cruise was so much fun, and the perfect way to break in our first married summer. We went with my little (and taller) sister Alison, and her husband  Travis. They were our next door neighbors on the ship, and we couldn't have asked for better traveling companions.

The minute our feet entered the cruise ship, we all ran right to the buffet line and began our 4 day feast. When we weren't eating, we were sailing with the dolphins in Catalina Island, cooking in Mexico, negotiating prices with the local people of Ensenada, enjoying comedy shows on the ship, or sipping lemonade from the deck whilst we bathed in the sun. It was fantastic, and a great escape from the real world. I have since had a few cruising dreams, one in which my very own brother was a talking dolphin :) 

Below are a just few pictures so you can get a taste of what we did and saw on our mini getaway.

Our awesome waitor German. He made our evenings so much fun!  

If I can figure it out, I will post a video of the hundreds of dolphins we sailed with! This was a definite highlight of the vacation and a memory we will never forget.
