Happy Early Anniversary!

On May 31st of this year Keith and I will celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss! We wanted to do something special and we hadn't been on a vacation alone since our honeymoon! So we decided to ditch the yucky weather in Utah and take a cruise to the Mexican Riviera! Hello sunshine! We had such a fabulous time & many thanks to all of our relatives who watched the kiddos!

The ship was gorgeous and we had such a relaxing time reading, playing cards, eating, sleeping, laying in the sun, playing shuffleboard & bingo & going to some fabulous shows!

My favorite pic of the trip! Look at that beautiful sunset!

Can anyone say "all you can eat ice cream"!

Soaking up some sun while sipping a virgin pina colada! My idea of paradise!
Say cheese! On our way to yet another yummy dinner alone!
What is up with the towel animals?!?!
Our first port was Cabo San Lucas! We rented a beach buggy and drove around to a couple of beautiful beaches!
We had lunch at Cabo Wabo. Sammy Haggars famous bar & grill! Go Van Halen!

Gorgeous Widows Beach! I spared you the pics of us in swimsuits! :)

I swear our ship and all of Mexico is sponsored by Pepsi! I finally found a Diet Coke (aka Coca-Cola light) and was thrilled beyond measure!
Our ship....the oh so fun Norwegian Star!


Sexy baby! What a hottie hood ornament!

Our next port was Puerta Vallerta! We spent the morning shopping for junk souvenirs for the kids! Everyone say "Peso"!


Then we took a boat to our next excursion.......

Swimming with dolphins!!!


It was super fun & amazing!
Going for a swim belly to belly! Just a little bit freaky!


A quick kiss from a sea lion with the worst fish breath ever!
Yay! We had such a great time! I loved every minute of it and can't wait to celebrate the big 15! Maybe Tahiti?!? Love you honey! Thanks for the memories!

Veena said...

Looks like so much fun! Our 10th is this year too and I really wanna get away! When we get together (soon, I hope :)) you will have to tell me all about it!

Allie, oh my goodness, how fun!!! These pictures are gorgeous ... it looks like you guys had such a great time. You're so good to jump on this early and make sure that you're 10th is something BIG and special. Ours was last july and i was still nursing so we said we'd just do something or go somewhere later ... kind of an I.O.U. type of thing, and now we wait .... =) I'm so happy for you guys and so glad you had so much fun. Happy 10th (in a few months).

WoW! i love how adventureous you guys are... love that red swimsuit allie! can't wait to see you and hear all about your fun times in person :)

Melanie said...

You are a fast blogger. It was fun to see all your cute pictures even after I had heard about all your fun. I am jealous, it looked like a blast. I will probably take you up on your offer for our 10 year trip. You and Keith have such fabulous smiles!

Mom said...

Allie, You are not only a fast blogger but you live in the fast lane! How many swim suits do you own? You do look good in red! Dad says, next time take us with you! We enjoyed a chance to be with your children and don't hesitate to ask us again. The pictures were all gorgeous especially the sunset with you & Keith in the foreground. You enhanced the sun set! I did not realize that the dolphins swam on their backs and I was having a difficult time imagining you swimming belly to belly with the dolphin (silly me). Love, Mom & Dad
