Cruisin' for 10

Last week Tad and I went on a cruise...just the two of us! I still can't believe we did it. We left our kids for five days and totally relaxed. This is us at Catalina Island.
We were on a tour of the island when the bus caught on fire. Such a funny story.... but to sum it up we were on the top of the island for about an hour an a half while the fire department got this bus under control and another bus could pick us up.

Here we are waiting for a ride down the mountain.


Can you see the cruise ship in the background? The best part of the trip was that we pulled out shorts and t-shirts. Although, you wouldn't know it from this picture, I had just put my jacket on. It was 75 degrees the entire time. Sure beats the 20 degree high we came home to.

We didn't stay in Mexico too long, but here is proof we were there.


Oh gosh, these pictures are a little out of order. After the bus caught on fire, we were given a free submarine ride.


We met some really fun people that we ate dinner with every night. And boy did we eat. I won't even mention how many pounds we brought home with us hooked to our butts and hips. So worth it!


We laid out on the decks numerous times each day. We actually got some sun which has since already faded.


And here was our fantastic server Carlos.
We took this trip to celebrate our tenth anniversary and it made me remember why I fell in love with Tad that many years ago. We spent every minute together and yet when he went to work yesterday, I missed him and wish we could be together every minute again soon. Thanks for the trip Tad and thanks to our moms for becoming moms again for the week.

I am so glad you were able to go, makes me want to go again. It is the ultimate way to relax without kids.

I can see the sun on your faces in that last picture, it makes me so excited for warm weather.

Funny that you met people from our ward while you were on there, what a small world.
