We Be Cruisin!

Cruise: the ultimate vacation! A little (or a lot) something for everyone. It makes Mom, the sun worshiper and Dad, the food lover happy at the same time. Plus, there are no cell phones so we knew we would have Zach's undivided attention! This cruise has been in the works since our last cruise with the Meyer's after Garrett got home from his mission. We needed a repeat as soon as Ben got home. We decided to go during the holidays this year since everyone would already be home. And I think it was a nice break from the cold for the Utah folks. Ship set sail two days after Christmas and was only a ten minute drive from our house, where everyone crashed the night before. I was a bit worried about cruising with a baby, but Ayden did great. She was constantly entertained by all the activity and loved playing with her cousins. The scenery was beautiful, the weather nice, I didn't cook or clean for a week...but the best part was just being together, catching up and laughing.

On the beach in Cozumel: Patrick and I are a perfect match. He likes to stay outta the sun which makes it nice with Ayden.

A formal dinner night.

Ayden did wonderful at dinner in her high chair thanks to the magic of bread sticks!

This was the best daiquiri ever!
