port holes and water slides

Korey and I just got back from our Carnival Cruise to Progresso and Cozumel, Mexico. We didn't take a vacation honeymoon last year because we didn't have enough time/money after the wedding. We thought we'd take a cruise over Christmas break and well that just didn't work out. In February, we planned a cruise for July and man are we glad we did!! We loved all of it and would recommend it and we would do it again!

We headed to Houston to stay at Uncle Bill's place before heading to Galveston. We went to an Astros v. Cardinals game (Cardinals won) and we enjoyed the great indoor ball field.

Our Cruise was so fantastic! We loved the constant availability of food and really enjoyed our shore excursions - The Mayan Ruins in Progresso, Mexico and Sail, Snorkel & Beach Party in Cozumel, Mexico.

The fun slide!!!

Cruise Elegant Night - We wanted to be vacation elegant not prom elegant! 

Some Mayan Ruins at our shore excursion in Progresso - no sacrifices were made at this location. We didn't climb this one, but got to climb on some other ones.

After snorkeling, sailing, and then playing on the beach and water slides in the ocean. What a great day! On the sail out to the snorkel spot, I was sitting next to a wonderful lady that I got to talk to about teaching and future life as a minister's wife. It was truly a great conversation and a wonderful moment on a cruise full of people that were pretty much drinking their worries away. 

Our last night --- great sunset after a week of foggy/cloudy sunsets!

No rain the entire cruise - so thankful that we were able to enjoy the great weather and relaxation. And the chief end of our vacation was to glorify Christ and bring glory to His name while relaxing from work.
