OUR CRUISE!!!

Sorry, it's been a few weeks but, as I mentioned in one of my previous blogs, I said that my family and I were going on a cruise over spring break! Well, unfortunately spring break is over. We woke up around 5 in the morning and got to the airport around 6:45 where we waited for my grandma, grandpa, aunts, and uncles. Then we waited some more until we could get onto the plane around 8. Around 9:45 we arrived in L.A! My first plane ride! It was super fun!






We first ate at the buffet, and then almost every night we ate at a restaurant! We had tons of fun! After eating we would usually go to a show, which most of them were pretty good. They had comedians, magicians, and gymnastics! After the show we would go to the buffet and have hot chocolate and play cards.



Our first port was Cabo San Lucas! We walked around and shopped. I held an iguana named Pueblo!



I also took a picture with a scary pirate painted gold! (You can't tell, but he was a real person!) I bought a charm for my necklace, a toy dragon, and a box for my friend! (It was cool, don't worry!) We also were at Cabo for our second day. That day we went to the beach where I bought some bracelets! (hand-made of course) We all got extremely sunburned even though we had tons of sunscreen on!



One of the best meals was breakfast! (besides lunch and dinner of course) I think I gained about 5 pounds!



The pool was awesome! We had a live band most of the time, it was way too loud! Fun though, right? I, being a teenager, liked it! Most of the adults, being, well, adults, thought it could have been less loud.



We all spent most of the sea days lying around, sleeping, reading, and tanning. Of course, we also ate as much ice cream as we could!



Our third port was puerto vallarta! My parents and brothers went on a pirate ship to a private beach! They had a pirate show, and went on a banana boat! I, on the other hand, went with my aunt and uncles to a little village. We got on jeeps and rode into the jungle! where we rode mules and then.... ZIP LINED! We did 8 zip lines and 2 repels! We had tons of fun zip lining! We quickly got the hang of it! My favorite zip was the one where we zipped right into the water! I definitely recommend it if you ever get the chance! I definitely had fun spending time with my aunt and uncles! Well, I can cross that one off my list of things to do before I die!



One of the best parts was finding an animal on the bed in our cabin when we got back from our fun day! We had a monkey, bunny, swans, and a dog!



At the end, we were all tired and ready to go home. (even though no one would admit it) We were waiting in the airport and guess who was there? JIMMER! What an end to the vacation! I definitely had fun and can't wait for our next family trip!
