Cruisin'

Jeff and I decided to splurge and go on a cruise to celebrate him finishing his masters. We decided to go to Long Beach and go on a five day cruise to Catalina Island, and Ensenada. It was so much fun and super relaxing. I didn't get sick at all until I got home and on solid ground. It took me two days for the world to stop rocking. I did really good and didn't miss the kids terribly until Thursday and then it seemed like all the little kids around reminded me of my babies and I started to be ready to be home. But seriously was a blast and so fun to just spend all day everyday with my honey having fun. :)

















Jeff got volunteered (by his lovely wife) to go on stage and do the cruise's version of Minute to Win it (60 seconds or less). He had to bounce five ping pong balls off a table into a bucket, unroll a roll of toilet paper with one hand, and knock a pyramid of empty coke cans off a table with rubber bands. He was a great sport and did awesome. He got a medal and this trophy ship for doing such a great job :)

Forgot to mention that we had to wait quite awhile to get off the boat cuz we were on the bottom floor and got excused last (we may or may not have sneaked off  before they announced our level) so we were ready to hit the road for the 6 hour drive home. SO when we got to our car none of the electric locks would work- yep, we had left a light on in the car and the car was DEAD. Thankfully that was the only problem and after asking like thirty people someone finally had jumper cables and was willing to jump us. Also a blessing that the parking spot right in front of us was open and there was just enough room for a car to squeeze in past the dividers to get close enough to jump us (keep in mind we were in a parking garage). Many blessings to those people who saved our lives :) It was SO good to get home and hug and kiss my babies.

I have to say I'm more than a little jealous! Looks and sounds like so much fun! I think every marriage needs a one on one vacation now and again to thrive!
