Fun Days at Sea

We loved hanging out on the ship… there was so much to do and so much to see! We met up with our dinner buddies to take some pics around the boat. Our boat was kind of Greek themed, we even had the status of David. One night we went to a musical and another night we checked out the comedian. Fun times!! One of the best things about the ship was all the amazing food! It was NEVER ending food! The best food was the lobster tail and the filet mignon, best dessert was the warm chocolate melting cake! I wanna go back just to have the dessert again! We let the cruise line pick our room so we totally lucked out and got a ginormous room! We loved it! Our deck was huge… our room was huge... our bathroom was huge! We figured out that we got a handicap room and laughed so hard!

Puerto Vallarta

We woke up early to go horseback riding through the jungle! Woo hoo! We rode on a tour bus through town to a small farming community called Desambocada. Our horses were given to us based on experience… I got the old one since I was the beginner! My horse was named Morro, Spencer’s was Milagro (means Miracle). We had to cross a flowing river TWICE! It was a little scary when my horse didn’t want to stay in line with the other horses! We rode to a ranch where we took a dip in the hot springs then I went for a swim with a horse… bareback! It was fun and a tad bit scary all at once! The jungle was so beautiful! Then it was time to hit the beach! The water was amazing. We did some shopping in town and then saw MIMI! We ran into my aunt in MEXICO! LOL! It was too funny! We hung out and watched the sunset… so relaxing and beautiful.
