cruise trip wrap up

My updates are getting later and less frequent as I get busier. I never finished the cruise updates but believe me, we had a great time. We aren't the touristy types who take the city tours etc unless it's included so our 2 stops at Ensenada and Cabo where leisurely affairs. We had a nice breakfast, go to shore and mosey around. We walked all around Ensenada in search of aguas and by the time we did, we were hot and thirsty. Cabo was extremely hot so we didn't last as long. We walked long enough to find an ice cream shop, ate it then walked back to the ship. :)

The kids discovered the Camp Carnival on our 2nd day and never looked back. Both boys when given a choice between hanging out with the parents or camp, always chose the camp. One night Tyler came back begging us to let him go to the late night party the next night where they party til 1 am. I'm thinking, Dude, you're only 8 years old and way too excited about a party. We let him go where the 6-8 year olds took over the disco from 8-9pm and danced the chicken dance and rocked out to the theme song from Spongebob Squarepants. Those kids are wild!

Overall the trip was a success. I survived living in a very small room with all the guys. The kids had lots of fun and Hector said it was okay (good sign). We arrived back in San Diego on Thursday so we walked across the street to our car, drove about 2-3 blocks to check into a hotel. We spent a few hours at Sea World (annual passes come in handy) and came back to enjoy the suite. Our hotel package included pizza and an in-room movie so when Speed Racer came up as an option, well the boys got to watch it for the 4th time. It was nice and fun.

It was back home just in time for Labor Day weekend to prepare for Tyler's birthday on Sept. 1st and get the boys ready for school on the 3rd. Phew!
