Finally...our VACATION!!

Ok, it's taken me forever to post about our cruise!! I couldn't get the pictures off the camera, and then the pictures were shot in RAM, which I guess is a special thing that makes the pictures higher quality...long story short--I'm going to start the story of our cruise now.
Malcolm and I headed off for Mexico menus one baby! It was so hard and sad to leave our baby, but man it was so nice to have some alone time for me and my sweetheart. The cruise was wonderful, it was a Carnival Cruise, so the boat was a little out dated, but still amazing. Malcolm and I slept until 1:00-2:00 everyday to catch up and spent the rest of the time eating or seeing the sights. Unfortunantely it was a little cold, so we didn't catch very many waves but it was still warm enough to see the sights and hang out side.
The first day we went to Catalina Island where we rented a golf cart and drove around the island. It was so beautiful and green. We decided that someday we might live there for a summer..it was just calm, quiet and beautiful...here are some pictures.


Malc and I on top of one of the mountains. There is a beautiful view in the background, but I don't know if you can really see it...you can barely see our cruise ship down in the bay.

The next day Malcolm and I went to Mexico and it ended up being really cold, so instead of playing the water, Malcolm and I rented some four wheelers and found these sand dunes a couple miles down the beach. It was so awesome, we rode the four wheelers all day long. Here are some pictures.




The last day we spent on the boat just hanging out with a cool couple we met that actually live in provo! Clay and Trista..small world, Trista took piano lessons from my Mom when we lived in West Valley!





All in All it was an awesome vacation! I'm so glad that Malcolm and I were able to have some time to our selves to regroup! I think that this vacation was therapy enough for me!
