baja california cruise.

Last week we went on the baja california cruise with my dad and his fiance, my sister and her husband, my two brothers, and my twin soon-to-be step sisters, and holy cow...it was so much fun! this was most of our first cruise and our group was such a blast! We flew in to LA and boarded the Carnival Imagination Sunday morning. Monday we went to Catalina, Tuesday Ensenada, Wednesday were out at sea, and returned to port on Thursday.

On Catalina Island! My second time there and I love it!





we bought matching sunglasses. true love.

The whole group on Catalina Island where we shopped, ate, and snorkeled in the freezing water! Don't worry we had wetsuits and it was way cool!

Formal night...I love this husband of mine.

The whole group again...I stole this picture from one of the girl's snapchats.


In Ensenada, Mexico. In Ensenada we went on a zip lining excursion with 5 big zip lines and 5 canopy bridges. I'm proud to say everyone in the family completed it. It was so cool! Possibly my favorite part of the trip. We also went to La Bufadora (a famous blow hole) and shopped and ate at the flea market by it.

At the flea market...there were Ute, BYU, and Utah State bags! They obviously get plenty of Utah tourists.

What's more Mexican than a Chihuahua sitting on a pile of ponchos? 

Our steak tacos & fish tacos were mind-blowing amazing!



possibly my second favorite part of the trip....mmmmm

The day at sea was cloudy off and on and we spent most of the day trying to lay out but wrapped out in towels half the time to stay warm. At night on the ship, we went to dinner, went to comedy shows, music shows, a piano bar, listened to a live band, danced, and rocked out. seriously our group was so much fun!

The good thing about the cruise being short was getting home to THIS GIRL!! She had a good time with both of her grandmas while we were gone. This is her in her outfit we got her from Mexico, including the clothes, headband, and shoes.



We got home from the cruise Thursday evening, Dawson worked Friday, and then we had the long weekend. That means Dawson and I spent 9 out of 10 whole days together...and weren't even a little sick of each other. It was too good.
