Cruising!!

Elan and I have just returned from a 7 day cruise to Mexico. We enjoyed ourselves immensely!! (even though we had to dodge Hurricane Norbit) It was the first time leaving our kids for a full week but through family help they made it possible!! "Thanks!" - to all of you. We went to Puerto Vallarta first and then the agenda was to head to Mazatlan and then to Cabo San Lucas. But do to the hurricane, which Elan insisted that it was impossible for hurricanes to exists in the Pacific, (if I would have known that, I would not have set foot on that boat -- not with my anxiety!!), our plans slightly changed in a big way. We went to Cabo for only a few hrs and then skipped Mazatlan and headed straight to ghetto Ensenada, right below Tijuana. Good news folks it had some of the best shopping and bartering south of the border. It took me 2 days to get used to the constant rocking of the boat but figured out that getting drunk makes it ll go away!! haha J/K All in all it was a great needed vacation and there is no one else I'd rather spend my time with!! Yeah, that's you baby!

We were able to enjoy the cruise with Elan's business partner and best friend Will and his wife Courtney Snowden, James and Carolyn Dye (their VP), and business associate Patrick and Carrie James. We all had a blast together!!

In Puerto Vallarta we were able to do an excursion we decided to zip-line through the jungle. Now I wasn't quite aware of the nearly 800 ft ravines (at least that's what it seemed like) but I had so much fun and was able to conquer my fear of heights. Plus Adarius thought he had the coolest parents cause we were just like Diego!!

Luckily we took this picture the 2nd day of the cruise because when you can eat 24 hrs a day and have ice cream and treats available to you whenever you please, it's easy to pack on the pounds, like Elan's additional 12lbs. he gained in a week. I won't mention how many lbs I gained. lol


Safety training and us at the casino winning big!!!
