Mexican Cruise


Yes, another cruise....It was too hard to pass up the great deal we got.  And since I hate winter it was perfect timing. We stopped by my sister Lis's house for a night.  I love her and her family.  Bo followed me around and wanted me to hold her the whole time.  She is so sweet!

Here we are getting on to the ship!


Beautiful Sunset!

Grant and I going scuba diving for my first time in Cabo San Lucas.  I was soooo scared but once I was down and the fear of the shooting to the surface passed it was incredible!  We saw the amazing sand waterfalls and lots of colorful fish.
  It was increadible!
Lover's Beach!

We went snorkling and whale watching in Cabo San Lucas the second day at port.  I don't know if I have seen so many whales at one time.
We got some drinks by the beach and massages in Puerto Vallarta. Some of my favorite things to do! Here is Grant posing in front of this beautiful beach.
