November!

What a fun month November was! Thanks to Rudy's parents, we got to go with them on a Cruise over Thanksgiving as a graduation present! THANKS GUYS!!
We started our fun trip visiting San Diego for a couple of days. It was great to see some of the people we love that we hadn't seen for a while (or who we got to see for the first time- Luka, our cute little nephew).

From San Diego, we went down to Acapulco, Manzanillo, and Ixtapa on a warm, wonderful 8 day cruise. It was such a fun experience for all of us! There was a great Camp Carnival part of the ship where we could drop the boys off and go do our own thing while the kids played and made crafts. It was awesome!
ALL the boys loved ALL the food!
The beaches at the ports were beautiful and the weather was a perfect 85-90 degrees with clear, warm water.
Such fun time together!!

And Rudy got to go surfing.

We found random spots where we were able to avoid the crowds and feel like we owned the beach.

Rudy had a 'professional' Mexican masseuse come help him 'relax'.

Can't keep that SoCal boy away from his roots. Nice that the boys loved the beach almost as much as he did!

It was a BIG ship!
This is a shot from our balcony in our room! Sure nice the boys got along so well!
We had lots of fun playing games, eating, swimming, relaxing. It was a great trip!
It was fun to dress up on the Captain's night. Oma and Opa had suits made for the boys...I think they were better dressed than we were! ;)
They even had turkey for us on Thanksgiving day. Although we didn't get turkey leftovers for the next week, I think we all agree that it was a GREAT Thanksgiving holiday-- one to be remembered for a long time!! Thanks Oma and Opa!
