Last week, our family went on "The Mariner of the Seas" cruise ship down to Mexico for a family vacation. We went with our friends, the Cadden family. We had a group of 13 of us and had a fantastic trip! There was always something to do and someone to do it with!
This was our beautiful ship! They had all sorts of activities like rock wall climbing, miniature golf, basketball, cinema, and in-line skating. There was also a salon and spa, different restaurants, shops, and even a Johnny Rocket's and Ben and Jerry's!
We were lucky enough to have a balcony at the back of the ship and the Cadden's were right next door to us.
The kids swam a lot too. There were 3 pools, 5 spas and 1 whirlpool on board!
And they even had an ice-skating rink! This ship was totally decked out! (pardon the pun) :)They had a big circus ice show that was amazing to watch also!
Tom Cadden was good enough to pick these kites up in Cabo San Lucas for us to fly. What an adventure for the kids to run all over the top deck flying kites and watching nose dives that dented the ship! Eventually, unfortunately, our kites were lost at sea. :(

Beautiful Noel and her dad.
In Puerto Rico, the kids got to hold an iguana and a funny little green lizard on their head.
All the kids slid down a natural waterfall slide and jumped on a rope swing in their clothes. We didn't know we'd need our swimsuits as we just rented a car and driver for the day to show us the sights. Here is Noel holding her nose while sliding into the water and Carissa is watching above.
We went to the flea market in Puerto Vallarta too. We had to cross a suspension bridge where the river was going quite fast and it was quite deep too.
In Mazatlan, we rode horses on the beach, swam and had delicious Mexican food on the water.
In Cabo San Lucas, we got to go parasailing. This is Holly coming down from her ride.
We took a catamaran to Santa Maria Bay and went snorkling and fed the beautiful tropical fish. We also saw several flying fish too!
We went by the arches at Land's End and it was so beautiful there! Cabo has gorgeous rock formations! Adios!

what a fun fun trip! I have never been on a cruise but it looks absolutely beautiful!
What a great way to end summer! I love the picture of Jeff with his girls on the formal night...so sweet! And I am a sucker for waterfalls...I would have been all over that natural waterfall slide! So fun! I have never been on a cruise, but Mike has promised he'll take me one day. Looks like such a wonderful way to vacation!
I can't believe how much you guys packed in! What a great trip! More to scrap, I suppose??? And it looks like you had great weather all week. Glad to have you back.
Wow! What an amazing trip! How come I didn't get invited?
