THE CRUISE

Last week we went on a 4-day cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. We went with my parents and siblings and their spouses, and we had a blast! Here is an overview of the fun time we had!

Pizza every day!

Warm Chocolate Melting Cake - This was on the menu every night...

...and on the late-night buffet. We couldn't get enough!

Anna was told that this new sundress was for the cruise, so the first thing she did when we got to our room on the ship was put this on...over her other clothes! She was so excited to wear it!!!
