Cruise 2010

Shelby and I went on a weekend Cruise to Mexico.  This was our first time leaving Preston.  He did great with the Grandmas but we missed him terribly.  Four days was too long to leave him!  Shelby and I had a nice time although the cruise "experience" was different than we are used to.  We got "upgraded" to a room and were very excited about it.  Well it ends up being a room over the engine or something and it was so loud!!  I couldn't even sleep at night.  For the formal dinners, they always sit you with other guests.  There was suppose to be 4 other guests sitting with us at dinner and none of them showed up any of the nights!  So Shelby and I ate dinner by ourselves!  We did an excursion in Ensenada and only 2 other couples signed up for it!  But that ended up being one of my favorite parts of the trip.  We took a cooking lesson at the Mango Mango Restaurant in Ensenada.  It was a lot of fun.  All in all, it was a good trip and nice to get away :)

Shelby had to get his picture taken by this sign....Super Viagra!

Mardi Gras

Our Mississippi family sent us a ton of goodies for Mardi Gras!  It's a huge deal "down south" and they wanted us to be a part of the festivities!  They also sent us a King Cake which was delicious!  We played "dress up" with all the beads.  It was fun.  Thanks Dad and Teri :)
