Justin and I finally went on an adult vacation! We took a 3 night cruise
on the Carnival Imagination to Ensenada, Mexico. We loved every minute
of it!

Sunday- Arrive at Long Beach/Travel back home
To make it easier for everyone, I'm going to break down the blog post by days. Yay!
Thursday's post is ------> Here!
Friday was Mexico!!!
I ended up getting up at 6 am and I ran out into the hallway to see if we had made it into the port yet. I was just a little excited :) Sadly we weren't quite there yet so I went back to bed. The down side to being in an interior room is it's completely dark and easy to sleep in late. Late for us was 8 am when Justin's alarm went off and we didn't want to get up!
 |
| Breakfast! |
 |
| The port from Lido Deck. |
 |
| My Mexico dress! |
 |
| This is what Justin wore under his shirt in Mexico. Hiding the money, our cards/passports, and his phone |
When we got off the ship there was a huge Baja 500 festival off road racing thingy in the main street. They had it all closed off and they were throwing frisbees into the crowd! It was crazy!! We first walked to the flag post.
 |
| How cool is that statue! |
 | |||||
| The ship from the flag poll! |
After we stopped at the "flag" we walked up to main tourist street... figured it had to be a little safer than the side streets.
Craziness!! Of course everyone was trying to get you to come into their shops. We went into two shops and purchased a few items that we wanted to get. Justin got a leather belt and a thumb ring, and I got a bracelet and a thumb ring as well! All silver :)
 |
| His new ring is the one on his right hand |
We walked around the streets a little more but I got tired of being bombarded by people wanting me to buy things, and I was getting burnt.
 |
| Justin went to the Mongolian Grill |
 | ||
| And I ate at the grill.. as you can see I ate my nachos before I could take a picture. Sorry..not sorry |
We then got ready for the formal night. We wanted to get our picture taken while we were all dressed up but we also wanted to watch the dock runners who were late for the ship! Gotta love wasted people!
 |
| A little taste of my dress. Watching the runner! |
We finally got everyone and pulled away from the Port.
 |
| The Mexico coast guard escorted us out |
 | ||
| and our pilot boat. |
 |
| I had the Caesar salad as a starter. |
 |
| Justin's spinach salad as a starter |
 | ||
| Justin's sea bass |
 |
| Justin's lobster tail |
 |
| My chicken |
 |
| I had a side of mac and cheese |
 | |
| Justin's dessert... I had the chocolate cake again... |
 |
| Do you think I'm attractive Justin? |
 |
| Clapping alone with their dance. I felt sorry for the ones who were embarrassed to do it. |
After dinner we got ready to watch one of the comedy shows.. I can't remember quite what we did before the show at 10:15 but it wasn't that amazing if we can't remember. I do remember that we sat outside in the dark so I would be ready to sit in the back of the rocking boat.
Justin pretty much put on shorts and left his dress socks on! I thought he looked like a Yiddish yodeling boy with his knee high socks!
 |
| the joys of seasickness.. the circle from the band. |
We enjoyed the comedy of Chas Elstner at 10:15 and laughed so much! After that we pretty much crashed at went to bed.
 |
| Yes it's a picture of a picture. I haven't quite gotten around to scanning it yet! Don't judge! |
