The Cruise

Blake and I celebrate 20 blissful :) years together this year. We wanted to go on a nice trip to celebrate. Thanks to Great Western, we won a cruise so we got our nice trip and didn't even have to pay which made all the better! We really enjoyed all the great Great Western company. Here we are saying Bon Voyage to San Diego.

One of the highlights of our trip was swimming with the dolphins in Puerta Vallarta. Those that know us and our thirst for high adventure aren't surprised by this!

The dolphins were awefully cute and friendly. Just like you see on tv!This may have been my initial reaction, but it is probably trick photography.
We got Kisses!!

This is Blake and Frank Anderson swimming on the dolphins. We layed on their tummies and held on the the fins.

Here is Robin Anderson and I. It was very cool. I would definitely recommend it.

Our next thrill was the zip line in the Sierra Madre mountains in Mazatlan. Here are Blake and I in all our gear.

This is me on one of the 9 zip lines. Blake made sure to get documentation for the kids. Notice the beautiful green mountains?? I guess it is winter there.

This is Blake and Fernando. We go this picture in honor of Danielle. She would've definately enjoyed the zip-line. I think this is where all the young, hot, hip Mazatlanians work. :)

The zip line ended at the Tequila factory where you got a shot (or two) of tequila, and learned how they make it. Needless to say, we gave ours away. The group on the way home was a little more relaxed than on the way there.

Our next big adventure was whale watching in Cabo San Lucas. This may have been more in our comfort zone. It is so beautiful there. You can see why it is the new hot spot for the stars. We went right around these rocks and saw tons (well maybe 12) whales!

This is two of them. I wish I could've gotten better pictures. They were too quick for the delay on my camera. It was way cool - right Kristy?

We also loved watching the dolphins swim along side our ship. They were jumping and flipping and playing. They were definately too fast for our camera.

We were laughing because by the end of the trip, without our kids there, we resorted to taking pictures of the towell kids our room steward made. I think we missed them more than we thought. 7 days was a long time to be away from them. Thank you Brooke and Bryce. Thanks Ted and Kristy for having them to dinner. It is great knowing we have so much great family we would feel comfortable leaving them with. BUT it was great to spend good quality time with Blake. He is still fun, and kind, and happy, and funny (though I may roll my eyes a little more than I used to) and... I could go on and on. After 20 years, he's still got it! Thanks
for picking me to go on your free cruise with you !:)
