"Won't Cha Let Me Take Ya On a Sea Cruise!"

Dang it we are back already. Our cruise last week with 'the Furni' went by entirely too fast. It was Nathan and I's first cruise and through a series of unfortunate events it almost didn't happen for any of us. Last minute here is a list of what happened:
*Injured Grandma who was to watch our friends children
*Our favorite overnight sitter had a death in the family at the last minute and legitimately had to cancel
*The morning we left the Furni got a call that their flight to San Diego was cancelled
*Our metro was late to the airport and they wouldn't check our bags which were too large for carry on
Let's just say MANY prayers were answered to work things out. My sisters were somehow available to come babysit. Nathan scrambled and found an executive car in LA (where they found a flight to instead) to drive our friends to the docks in San Diego. And unbelievably a lady walked us past the line at security and though we had tons of "liquids and gels" in our luggage they only made Nathan trash his shaving cream and we made the flight. When we finally made it to the ship with Eric and H. we laughed and said that if the ship went down we certainly couldn't say we hadn't been warned!


We did lot's of stuff: Ping Pong, Naps, Spa trip for the girls, Naps, and the boys played in a volleyball tournament and spanked everyone, woot woot!

They were given real Gold trophies, of course...

In Ensenada we went out to one of 3 natural Blow Holes in the world. I don't know if the Blow Hole just wasn't in the mood that day or what but it was only mildly impressive. It looked much cooler on post cards we saw.

And of course the meals were a major highlight. As many of you know the cement that binds this friendship together really comes down to food. :) Needless to say we all enjoyed soft serve ice cream cones whenever we wanted.
But probably our favorite part of the trip really we could have done anywhere. Our cabins were right next to each others and at the end of the day we would all go to one of our cabins and watch episodes of Arrested Development on a laptop and laugh our heads off. If you have never been around Eric when something strikes him funny you are really missing out. His laugh alone keeps all of us rolling, it's very contagious. I'm pretty sure you could record it and sell it as an Abs Work Out. This trip it was "Franklin" that had him going ("I ain't goin to no tight a. country club.....")

The real story from our trip is when we got into Cabo San Lucas... Stay tuned!!!!
