Cruisin' Through the memories!

Hi!!! My phrase this school year has been to keep making the memories! I am going to start sharing those memories with  all of you! My family just went on a seven day cruise. Any of you that know my family know that we go on a vacation every year.... well they go on a vacation once a year...I haven't been on a vacation for over three and a half years. I needed this vacation so bad and it was exactly what I needed. Although we went during school, which was one of the most stressful times in my life (trying to get everything ready and completed before I left.) But I figured everything out and went to paradise with my family! 

Some of the memories that I will never ever forget is what I ate:

• Alligator Fritters
• Shark
• Escargot (aka snails)
• Frog Legs

None of these I particularly enjoyed; however, if I had to eat any of them over again I would eat Alligator! (By far)

Day 1 in Cabo: 
We sat on the beach all day drinking Miami Vises, and shopped from our seats as the workers came and showed us all the fun different trinkets they had made. We then rode on a banana boat in the ocean around Cabo's famous arches. I of course was terrified...... our driver even saw some whales which he sped after... sadly we didn't see any while on the banana boat, but that would have totally freaked me out. (I mean seriously what if it came up right next to us.)

Day 2 in Cabo: 
We went snorkeling at two different locations. My favorite part was the whale watching, which we spent more time doing than we spent in the actual water. I have never seen a whale so up close. It was like a perfect picture where the tail comes up and splashes back down on the water. We also so two dolphins jumping in the water. It was a magical day for me to see all these amazing creatures in the wild instead of in some kind of cage. When we finally went snorkeling we got to see a snowflake snake... which is a black and white snake. BUT OF COURSE there were jelly fish. I can't go snorkeling without being stung by one of those. Although I got stung it was another incredible day.


Puerto Vallarta: 
Today I experienced what its like to fly! We did an extreme canopy excursion. We sped across the ocean in a Zodiac. Went up the side of a mountain in a huge jeep, then rode straight up the mountain on some horses. It was quite the climb to finally get to the top. But the way down was fantastic. I zip lined, repelled down into a pool of water, climbed down the side of a waterfall and much much more it was a blast.

 At the bottom of the waterfall! We did it!

 Can you fly.... Cuz I Can!!!

 Puerto Vallarta is Gorgeous!

 Soaring to new heights!

 Our fruit punch... our weakness through out the entire trip!

 Ashley and I starting our tan!
