Mexico

Chris and I were so lucky to be able to go on a 7 day Mexican Riviera Cruise last week. The kids were excited to stay with grandma and grandpa Corotan in California. We LOVED this vacation. Though we missed the kids, and at times wished they were there with us having fun, it was so wonderful to have Chris all to myself. It was a much needed vacation, and break from work and school.
We had a nice balcony spa room - and enjoyed falling asleep with the balcony door open, listening to the sound of waves crashing every night. The rocking of the boat was heavenly and would put me right to sleep every time I laid down. The spa was absolutely beautiful and like none other I have ever been to. We stopped in Cabo for two days, and Puerto Vallarta for one. But the highlight was spending time with Chris. I remembered what it was like dating, and before kids, how easy it is to be with him, and how much I enjoy his company, (it's all very different without kids around needing all of your time and attention.)

Though it was especially tough the first day on the boat without my little loves, I realize how important one on one time is with one's husband. And the kids had a blast with the grandparents! It was good for them to be away from us for a while and spend all their time with my parents. When we would face time with them, they didn't seem to want to talk for too long, they were too busy playing and enjoying the warm California sun! And a week wasn't too long or too short - it was just right, for us, and for the kids.


This picture is a panoramic view in Cabo from our balcony.


When in Cabo some of the crew members from the ship told us about a resort that they all go to on their days off. It was a beutiful resort with a private beach (that was empty!) We hung out there for a bit both days we were in Cabo. This is our view from the restaurant. (Our ship is the one you can see in the bay)

Another pic of the resort. It had 3 beautiful pools and a very quite private beach!

And this is what the kiddos did while we were gone. They loved being with my mom and dad - and ask when we will be "going back to play"
