Final Cruise Post

Thursday and Friday were spent sailing back to California.  We did a lot more just relaxing in the room and out on the decks. 

I believe this is Cabo as we passed it on the way back.

We thought this was cool.  We could see where we had been and the path the ship had taken

Thursday was another formal night.

Our table for 2!

Every night there was something on the menu that was a little crazy.  One night we tried escargot and it was a lot better than it looked and what we were expecting.

This was Thursday night's crazy option.  

Frog legs.

Not yummy. 

Thursday night's manta ray, wearing Aaron's sunglasses!

There was another comedy show so we decided to go to that.

Waiting for the show to start.

My virgin Pina Colada. Oh my, it was so YUMMY!!

This comedian was different from the 1st one we saw and he was not funny.  All he did was have kids come up and did "kids say the darndest things".  Only it wasn't funny at all.  You could tell that he didn't like having to do a family friendly show.

Friday was our last full day. :(

We lounged on the decks.  Too cold for swimming suits,  Warm enough to relax and take a nap though!

We had to get 1 last ice cream cone!  I don't think we got enough of these.

This was our last towel creation.  So sweet!  Those are chocolates inside the heart. Yum.

Saturday morning we had to wake up early in order to finish packing and get out of the room.  We went up to the buffet for breakfast.  

We got to watch the sunrise.

Then we wandered around the deck before went and found a place to sit while we waited to get called to get off the ship.

They put up the flags once we were in port.

Last picture on the cruise ship.

We got off the ship and got a taxi to take us to the Long Beach Airport.

We now LOVE the Long Beach Airport.  We had about 3 hours to hang out there before our flight.  It is a small airport and wasn't very crowded.  We had to get lunch and ate at their burger place.  It was really yummy and not that expensive(surprising since we were IN the airport).  Our drinks came with free refills and they had the fancy Coke machines.  Anyone who knows me can imagine how happy that made my 3 hour wait.

Yum!

I also had my kindle to read on, so it was basically heaven.

We got on our plane and of course had to take a few more pictures out the window.  Poor Aaron was stuck between me and a Tongan man who slept or pretended to sleep the whole time.

That is our cruise ship in the picture!

And we came home to snow. Boo.

My dad came to the airport to pick us up and he ended having all the kids with him!  We thought they were going to be at our house with Aaron's parents.

Our kids are crazy.

Also, Aiden seemed to be talking so much more and so much better.  It was crazy.

When we got home we gave them their gifts.

This is a little turtle we bought from some cute Mexican kids.  We bought the other kids each an animal too.

Here is the dress that we found for Brooke.

We got Dallin some shells on the beach in Puerto Vallarta.

We also got the boys each a tshirt and we bought some of the colorfully painted wood fish that are everywhere in Mexico.

The kids were excited to see us and we were excited to see them.  It was an amazing week and it was so nice to have so much time to spend with just Aaron.  We still can't believe that we were able to do this.  We are so blessed.  We also can't believe it is already over. :(
