Our Cruise

Arriving at Catalina Island where we spent our short 3 day honeymoon 10 and 1/2 years ago.

That is the "Casino"- which is really a movie theatre and ballroom made in the 30's by Mr. Wrigley...as in Wrigley Field and Wrigley gum. We took the tour later. "casino" means gathering place. There is also our cruise ship in the background.
Just an awesome house on Catalina Island we found while exploring.


Some ocean life we collected and then threw back in to the ocean.

Sunrise from our room. Yes, we couldn't sleep in...pathetic I know but when your kids wake up at 6:30 every morning you just get used to it.

The Mexican Cultural Center in Ensenada

la Bufadora...the Blowhole. Kind of like Old Faithful but made from waves shooting out of a cave.

Well we, I mean I, finally got the courage to take a trip without the kids. I really wanted to go to Hawaii but didn't think I could handle being across an ocean for at least a week, so we compromised with a 4 night cruise. In the end, the kids did fine, we did fine, and it was sooooo nice to just be ourselves for a few days and not worry about feeding and entertaining 2 kids. On the down side I found out that even on a big cruise ship I get sea sick. I thought it was only on small sailboats. With the help of the sea sick medicine from the infirmary, I never got too bad but just really tired and it took about 4 days off the ship to get the sway feeling gone. I'm not complaining though becasue I got to eat good food, lots of ice cream cones, and didn't have to cook or clean for 4 days.
