Our Cruise!

Two days after our trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, we boarded The Vision of the Seas for our 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise down Baja California. The boys (us too) had tons of fun. They loved the Ocean Adventure Club. It was located on the top level of the ship and was made just for kids. It had organized activities everyday we were at sea and in port.

While we were at sea, the weather was pretty chilly and windy so we didn't have much time to enjoy the pool. Dominic didn't like the salt water they used to fill the pool (how that's different from out own salt water pool we have in our backyard is odd enough, but when you're 7 you tend to pick up on these differences.) Ethan did manage to jump in the pool a few times and he participated in the kids talent show, showing the parents his basketball dribbling skills. I think one of the things the boys liked most about being on the boat is that whenever they were served a beverage, it always came in a fancy "grown up" glass. Even the chocolate milk at dinner came in a very fancy shaped cocktail glass. Deserts were unlimited as well. They could have soft serve ice cream anytime they wanted as it was served pool side. It didn't matter how windy it was, Dominic always wanted his chocoloate ice cream cone.

Brad entered in a black jack tournament on our first day at sea. Out of 40 participants Brad came in 3rd place, winning over $100!!! Good thing, we were going to need that money for all those gin and tonics. Catie and Grandma enjoyed playing bingo in the Some Enchanted Evening Lounge. Could that cruise directors voice be any more annoying? We never got Bingo, but we came close! Grandpa enjoyed reading his Daniel Boone book and taking in the sights from the Viking Lounge.

Thanks for the great time Grandma and Grandpa!
