Our Cruise to Mexico













For our 36th Anniversary, we cruised the Mexican Riviera on the beautiful Dawn Princess.











































Land's End in Cabo San Lucas. We took a boat out there and saw the seal colony before being dropped off at the beach for a day in the sun.




















Our waiters on the ship were fantastic and made us feel so special each night.



















Our super fun traveling companions were Gramy Ruth Emig and her dear friend, Shirley Pinegar. What a lot of fun we had with them in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan! They were such good sports, and we could barely keep up with them. The food was fantastic, the ports were great and the company was the best. These two 80+ year young women kept us hoppin'! They were so much fun. They hung out on the beach with us in Cabo and shopped till WE dropped in Mazatlan and ate pizza with us till all hours of the night! We had a great time with them...so thanks, Mom and Shirley. This quote reminds me of these two special ladies.






“A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.”












We had probably the funnest, most exhilarating time of our lives on the canopy zipline in Puerto Vallarta. It was indescribable, really. We are probably way too old to be out doing this sort of thing, but we loved every minute of it! There we were, about 1,000 feet above the jungle, strapped into harnessess and flying about 30 miles per hour for 1,600 feet....just awesome. We did 12 different lines, each more thrilling than the last. I screamed at the top of my lungs--mostly for joy, but partly because I was scared to death! SO SO FUN. I am so glad to be married to a guy who dares take a chance and have this kind of fun in the middle of the jungles of Mexico with a girl who screams!! Thanks, honey! It was unforgettable.


There sure is a lot of world out there to see! We want to see it alll!!! Come with us! Our next adventure is to New Zealand in November...stay tuned.

I think that's so fun that you were able to hop around the world with Gramy and her buddy. You guys are a traveling circus, I tell you what!

Is that a real donkey? It totally looks real! What fun pictures and a FUN trip! I'm so sad we missed out on our own zipline adventure. Lesson learned: JUST DO IT! I'm glad you and Dad are so youthful and fun!
