Cruisin'.....

Blu's parents blessed us with the gift of a cruise for our birthdays & Christmas this year! So we left the kids for a week and drove down to Galveston, where we hopped on the Carnival Triumph for a 5 day cruise to Cozumel!

Our balcony room!

When Blu gets ahold of the camera, I never know what I will find... :)

My drink of choice for the week - coke with lime & cherry...getting a little wild!

This is what it looked like for the entire first day....

Thankfully, THIS made up for it...

Elegant Dinner night - my favorite!!

So fun to come back to the room at night and see what our steward had folded our towel as!

Blu's drink of choice for the week...iced tea..and more iced tea... :)

Day Three - headed to see what's in Progreso, Mexico!

Hopped on a bus..

Not much to see, but we did get massages on the beach for CHEAP!

Beaches of Progreso

Back on the ship - me relaxing after a quick workout!

Sunset on the ship...it's hard to beat a Zambian sunset :)

Day Four - Cozumel!!! We rented this bad boy and cruised the whole island! (Don't worry - Blu drove!)

Stopped to see some Mayan ruins and this huge..thing!

An old Mayan temple....so they say....

We snorkeled and had a blast in the water. Blu LOVES jumping in the waves!

Time for some fajitas at Playa Bonita!

Don't worry, our waiter gave me the marker!

Gorgeous ocean view!

We spent most of the last day of the cruise in our room. I worked on my book (finished!! stay tuned for more details!!) and Blu explored the ship! We are back in Brownwood now, reunited with our kids and ready to celebrate Cason's 5th birthday!! We are so grateful and thankful for this awesome chance to get away!
