Getaway Time!

It is so hard to come home to real life after having 9 days of fun down in California!
We were so excited for our trip and we had such a good time, can't wait to go on 
another cruise with my hottie hubs :)
We did a lot of fun things, but instead of me writing about it all, here are some of our pictures! 


The day after we got to Cali, we went to Disneyland!


We had such a great time being big kids riding the rides. (Excuse my hair in this picture...we just got off Space Mountain, my hair was crazy!)


The next day we boarded this beauty for a 4 day cruise, the Mexican Riviera.


Cruises are wonderful...we played a lot of mini golf, laid out on the decks, went down water slides, slept/relaxed a ton, watched several movies, and ate way too much delicious food! 


Our first stop on the cruise was Catalina Island...it was Beautiful!


In Catalina we wanted to be adventurous, so we went parasailing!




I was so nervous to go, but it was so cool! It was something that Jon and I had both been wanting to do, we had a great time. After getting back on the boat, the boat was surrounded by tons of dolphins. It was amazing. I tried to get pictures several times, but I failed. All the dolphins just put a cherry on top of our parasailing adventure!


The next day we were in Ensenada, Mexico. It was a very interesting place, we chose to go on a tour to see El Bufadora (aka The Blow Hole). It ended up being really cool. The picture above is of the area between the rocks before the water shoots up. It was so pretty!


The water would shoot up almost two times in a minute, it was awesome.



Leading up to the blow hole we walked through a flea market & had a fun time! They were all really pushy down there...Jon did not buy this cute hat but we did leave with a Mexican blanket and a cute leather purse! 





After our cruise we stayed in some really nice hotels & enjoyed our time relaxing in Long Beach & St. George. In Long Beach, we loved this place called The Pike. It was just a cool little area in the city with tons of restaurants, a ferris wheel, pier, the aquarium, & some fun shops. Jon and I could have stayed there for awhile! But that's just about the end of our whole trip, we got home Sunday night after having dinner with my wonderful parents (seriously...I feel so blessed to have such a great parents, I love them so much).

We had such a fun time & can't wait for our next vacation! Now back to reality!
