So Todd and I had always talked about going on a trip when we graduated from school and it also happens to be our 5th anniversary around the same time. We found a great deal on a 5 day cruise to Baja Mexico, so we decided to go. We left out of San Diego and we had two stops, first was Cabo San Lucas and then we went to Ensenada. We couldn't believe how big the ship was and I was a little nervous about being on the ocean and out of sight from land. I really didn't think that I would get sick but that first night I was feeling a little woozy. We had a great time relaxing by the pool, watching all the fun shows, eating the amazing food, taking naps in the afternoon and watching all the people drink tons of alcohol.

We took a chance and didn't book our excursions on the boat, so when we got off we found a Mexican and told him we wanted to go snorkeling. He booked us on this old, paint chipped catamaran.There weren't very many people on it with us but it turned out great. We had a great time snorkeling and while we were on the boat we saw a whale( which is very rare at this time of year), we saw a manta ray and the guy driving the boat caught two mahi mahi. We had a little time to do some shopping before we had to be back on the ship.

In Ensenada we took a bus to the La Bufadora, which is a big blow hole. We went through the city and our tour guide was really funny and informative. The blow hole was cool but the shopping around it was even better. We each got a few souvenirs and then headed back to the port. We got some lunch and then it was back on the ship. The next morning we arrived back in San Diego. We had a great trip and it was great to relax and get away with just the two of us. We missed Belle, although I don't think she missed us to much. She was too busy being spoiled at her grandma's and aunts house. Thanks so much to our great family who took such great care of our little one for us.
