THANK YOU MOM & DAD!!!

Thanks Mom and Dad for the Best Spring Break EVER!! Rob and I had so much fun and going on vacation was just what we needed. It was so nice not to have to worry about school and work. We couldn't have had as much fun without you guys! We made so many fun memories this trip! We love you and just can't thank you enough for all that you do for us. You truly are amazing parents and I am so grateful to have you both. And Rob is happy to have you as in-laws! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Here are some highlights from our FUN week! First we got on the boat in LA. We hung out on the boat, ate, and did a lifeboat/jacket drill and then about dinner we took off to San Diego!
I love San Diego. It is one of my most favorite places to go. I would live there if could afford it. Anyway, we went to the Zoo here and had a lot of fun. It is huge. I think Collin and Emma had fun too! This was also the formal night in the dining room. I liked getting all dressed up and I think Rob liked it too, but he did forget his dress shoes, but luckily the boat had some that he could rent. Yippy! Everyone took pictures so I don't have all the good ones and I mostly have ones of Rob and I but here are a few from San Diego...



After San Deigo, it was off to Catalina Island. Rob and I had a lot of fun here. Everyone, minus mom and the kids, went Para Sailing and Snorkeling. It was so much fun. Para sailing was awesome! And although the water was FREEZING and we didn't get to see a lot while snorkeling because we were being taken over by seaweed, it was still fun because we all couldn't stop laughing. About every 2 minutes, Christi would have a freak out (which for those who know her, is hilarious because she blows things up into a much bigger deal than they are) which would make Shanna and I laugh and everyone would then laugh. We did see a couple Orange fish or at least saw the same one a couple of times! We saw some cool sea lions on the way to snorkeling too. We all thought that they were going to make us get in with the sea lions, but luckily they didn't.


This night was also CHOCOLATE NIGHT! They had the most amazing chocolate sculptures and all kinds of chocolate stuff to eat! I love chocolate, so this was too much fun! They boat ALWAYS had stuff to eat and the workers did not let you not eat. If you didn't ask for it, they brought it to you anyway! But yes the food was excellent, so it made it seem worth it! However, the chief did make it a point to tell us after a week of eating amazingly good food and tons of sweets that when we get on the scale when we got home that we need to remember that, "What goes through your lips, sometimes stays on your hips."
Next was Ensenada, Mexico. Rob LOVED this. He got to speak SPANISH! and he got his tacos. Rob was loving it! My mom, sisters, and I had a lot of fun shopping too. I don't know how much fun the boys had waiting outside every store as we went in, but oh well. However, Rob did enjoy kissing the Monkey...
This is just something cute that we got on tape. Shanna and Brian tried teaching Collin his name and where he was from in case he were to get lost. They also put tags on him because some people might not understand him, but listen to what Collin learned. It is super cute and funny!

Well these are some of the highlights from all the fun we had on our trip! This was such a fun Family Vaca and Rob and I just wanted to tell you THANKS Mom and Dad! We had so much fun and we owe it all to you!
