We finally were able to take a MUCH needed vacation (ahhh)! It was quite an adventure and we had SO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks to our traveling buddies-well we are friends even when we are not traveling, but you get my point-we never had a dull moment. We had so many laughs and good times despite our major cruise disappointment (read below). So here is a run-down of our trip with some pics.
SAN DIEGO
Sheldon and I decided to spend a night in San Diego, where our cruise started and ended, so we left a day early. We went to La Jolla beaches, visited the beutiful temple, and explored the city. I also must comment on our hotel-it was amazing! I love interior design and architecture so I didn't want to stay in a cookie cutter hotel when we were in SD; I wanted to stay in a hotel that was unique. So I chose The Bristol, it is a historic building with a lot of architectual detail but with modern interior design. Before we actually arrived Sheldon was extremely paranoid because the hotel is known for being trendy and unique, so it attracts the same kind of people if you know what I mean. Sheldon repeatedly told me he wanted to stay at the Hilton-boring! But he was pleasantly suprised!
3 1/2 DAYS & 3 NIGHTS AT SEA!
The next day we met up with friends and went cruising! Our cruise was scheduled to go to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. The disapointment was that we cruised all the way down to Cabo and were told we could not get off the ship becuase of a "dangerous tropical storm"-oh ha Carnival! So we didn't even get off the ship for 3 1/2 days! The plus side is we still had a blast. We past the time by going to the cruise line activities and shows, playing basketball and volleyball, laying out under the sun, swimming, playing cards, and of course eating and sleeping!
ENSENADA
We finally got off the ship in Ensenada where we spent about 10 hours. Ensenada was awesome! It definitely made up for Cabo. We were literally the first ones off the boat we were so excited to be on land. In Ensenada we rented 4-wheelers and drove them on the Mexico highway (I know we are crazy! I still can't believe we did that and that it is legal!) all the way to La Bufadora. It took about 45 minutes for us to get to La Bufadora on the quads but it was SO worth it! The views were breath-taking and the blow hole was pretty cool too. We did some shopping and ate some real Mexican food. We also went off-roading and drove to the top of a very large mountain where we were able to see for miles-it was so beautiful. Later we rode back to Ensenada and spent some time at the beach.
Despite missing Cabo our trip was a success! Justin and Michelle and Missy and Jared were exicited to get back home to see their kids, but Sheldon and I could have stayed on vacation forever. We miss it already! Thanks for the fun friends!

Looks like a lot of fun guys. There are definetly a few shots you should have put in a frame and maybe even blown up for the wall Chelsea. Thanks again for coming to Madi's party. It meant a lot.
I miss it already! And we miss hanging out with you guys! We need to get together soon! Cute pictures!!
It looks like you guys had a blast!! I'm jealous! I'd love to go on a trip like that. You guys all looked so cute and looked like you had so much fun. Enjoy it before the kids come around--it makes it a lot harder to do ANYTHING!
How fun! Looking at your pictures made me so jealous! What a great vacation.
That was such a fun Vacation. We are looking forward to our next trip with you guys. If you guys are up for it we were planning on Mini Golfing next weekend to see if we are any better on land.
Hey you guys. Sorry we're so bad at keeping in touch. Looks like you had a great time though. Did you learn any Spanish slang to use on Oscar? :)
Chelsea--where are you working now? And congrats on graduating. I did see that post a few months ago but I couldn't comment due to our internet connection issues.
Looks like so much fun. Kent said he is game if you and Sheldon wanted to go with us sometime. He was impressed how cheap your cruise was...maybe we can find one just as cheap so we can try and go on one...that is if I can be away from my boy...Ok soon will be BoyS!
Lets talk about it!! YA?!
What an amazing vacation!!! Looks like you had a ton of fun. That stinks that the weather was crapy for a few days. We will have to come with you next time!!
