Our Cruise

For our 5 year anniversary Mike and I took a much needed vacation! We took a cruise out of Galveston to Progresso and Cozumel, Mexico. It was a relaxing week but a long time to be away from the girls! Cruising is definitely a different way to travel with a lot of down time for relaxation- Mike and I are pretty bad at just relaxing! We had a great time and met some fun people on our ship.

These are dinner pics. We had an assigned table so we got to meet other people. We actually loved the people at our table so it wasn't bad that we were forced to eat with them.

We watched the sunset from the front of the ship leaving Cozumel and this is our sad attempt at a self portrait!

We went on ATV excursion into the jungle to look at Mayan ruins- it was an awesome but very bumpy ride! We were covered in dirt when we were finished. This is our tour guide standing over what was a Mayan grave.

This is our ship, Ecstasy, and another one that went to the same ports we did.

They had bingo every night so we played a few times. All of the elderly women playing several cards at once reminded me of Grandma Dorothy!

In Progresso, the ship was late and our tour to Chichen Itza was cancelled. I was very disappointed because it's the largest archeaological find in South America. We caught a cab and went to the ruins at Dzibilchaltun instead. They were really neat and we learned lots about the Mayans.

Every night we got a new towel animal from the ship steward.
