A quick get away.

Richie and I had the opportunity to get away for a few days. It was such a nice and needed time. So we went on a 4 day cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada.

This was taken as we were walking onto the gangway. 

I guess there was a strike along the west coast with the dock workers. There were at least 20 boats just waiting to unload. 

Catalina Island:

A lot of people would hike up to this little hole in the rock and take a picture. 

I have some mad picture taking skills. I can take pictures without knowing it. I guess I really wanted to get a picture of my shoe. Isn't is pretty?

We did Zip-lining. This was our view while we waited to get geared up.

All set and ready to go.

This was the first line. There were 5 lines. I was excited, but a little nervous. Turns out I really love zip-lining.

Our view on the line.

I was the one taking the pictures most of the time, so there weren't many of me. So I bought the picture that they take for you.

Ensenada:

 We went kayaking here. So I didn't get any pictures. It was a fun experience. One that I am going to remember. We kayaked to La Bufadora blow hole. It was an awesome thing to see. The water was choppy and I was getting a little scared. We would go through big patches of seaweed and it would get caught on the ores. We did see a seal pop up his head to look at us, and a couple of dolphins. I would go again, but before I do I need to practice.

Fun on the ship:

The ship had a mini golf course. 

Laying by the pool. Soaking up the sun.

Having fun taking selfies. We always have to do a long face. Meg always asks us to do long faces when we do selfies. Not sure why.

I wanted the kids to see what it would look like flying above the clouds.
