Cruise

Last week we went on a cruise to Mexico with our friends Melise and Mike. We arrived in Anaheim on Sunday and headed out for Mexico. Our first stop was Cabo San Lucas where we saw the famous Cabo Arch and did some snorkeling at Lover's Beach. Cabo is a really cute small town in a really pretty bay. The second stop was Mazatlan where we had a tour of the city and then did some more snorkeling on a small island just off the coast. We saw some really cool fish before poor Mike got stung by a Portuguese Man o'War! Poor guy had a line on his lip from it and had to catch a boat back to shore and to the ship to see the doctor. He was swelling up and was numb. Apparently you rarely see these alone because if there's just one it means more are coming soon. So either Mike is really unlucky or we got out of the water just in time! Me and Jordan stayed on the beach a bit more and got some sun before we headed back to the ship. Our last stop was Puerto Vallarta. We did an amazing zip line tour through the jungle on lines 1/4 mile long and over a couple hundred feet high over a river. It was awesome!!!! Then we went to swim with the dolphins. It was a dream come true for me!!! I love love dolphins and was so excited to be able to swim with them. We got in the water with them and got to give them a hug, kiss, shake their hands, dance, and play with them. We even got to be pulled by them across the water holding their fins and then they pushed our feet with their noses across the water. It was soooooo much fun!!! I absolutely loved the cruise. It was so nice to relax on the deck of the ship and eat whatever you want whenever you want! We even saw a huge swarm of dolphins off the ship. (I'll post a video soon). It was a much needed vacation before school starts again.
Don't we look cute in our life jackets?? ;)
