The not so "Booze Cruise"- On board Carnival Paradise!!

Last week Travis and I went on a cruise! It was so awesome and so much food! The best part was I didn't have to make it, or clean up afterwards! Our first port was to Catalina Island. It was so pretty there I loved it. The next day we were supposed to port in Mexico, but the Swine Flu but a stop to that, so we just spent two days at sea. It was still way fun, minus being sea sick. Here are some of the pictures of our trip! Oh, and it's titled the not so booze cruise because everywhere we went people were trying to sell us alcohol. One waitress got so used to us denying her that whenever she saw us, she'd just turn around and walk in the other direction.



The long drive down. I think this was taken when we somehow got stuck on the road that was only for Trucks. You could see all the other cars laughing at us as they cruised on by.



Our room was on the very bottom of the boat, very front, R1. You could really feel it sway when we were at sea! It was a long hall to our room.

Our dinner friends! We were matched up at the same dinner table all 4 nights, and we got along really well! We actually hung out with them throughout the whole trip. It was fun to get to know some people on the boat.



I ran into my old neighbor Janae who I used to babysit for!



I amazingly beat Travis in ping pong 3 games to 2, so I had to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime moment



Nice form

Eh, he's alright

All dressed up for our formal night


In Catlina we went on a glassbottom boat ride. It wasn't as cool as I thought it would be 1) because it made me super sleepy and 2) I thought the fish would be a lot brighter and more festive.



Good pizza, better burgers

We had so much fun we are already thinking about going on another one next year, but this time we want friends! So if you are in the mood for cruisin, let me know!

NBA Playoffs

So the NBA playoffs have been on at our house ever since they started in the middle of April. We really get into basketball, and watch every single game we can. Travis snuck a picture of me one night when I was so enthusiastically into one of the games.

Hey, at least I showed my team spirit by sleeping with a Jazz blanket!!
