Making Memories in Mexico

When we learned a couple months ago that Logan needed to take summer classes we decided he needed to do something extra fun during his measly one week break.  We both really wanted to go on a cruise so we looked at several different options (Caribbean, Disney, Mexican Riviera, etc.) and decided on a Mexican Riviera out of LA since it was the cheapest one to get to.  I've actually been on this cruise once before a couple years go but it definitely didn't disappoint--especially because I was with Logan this time!


 One of my favorite things about cruises is dinner every night in the dining room.  I love getting to know the people at your table.  We definitely lucked out with some pretty awesome dinner guests! One couple was from San Francisco and the other from Salt Lake :)

Our first port was Cabo which I love!  The first day we took a little "water taxi" as they call it around the area and got some fun pictures.  The majority of these pictures were taken from or near Lover's and Divorce Beach--yep, that's what they're really called!  Lover's Beach is where most people hang out and the Divorce Beach side is too dangerous to even swim by.  The waves are absolutely HUGE!  Logan told me he was going to swim in them when I was telling him about it and then he saw how big they really are...

This picture really doesn't do the waves justice at all but trust me, they were enormous!

Because of everything going on in Mazatlan cruise ships still don't stop there so we spent two days in Cabo.  On our second day we rented a jet ski and had a great time!  We went through the locals so they didn't give us any rules or restrictions at all so it was super fun.  I think Logan was a bit nervous when I was driving because he didn't have control so that made it even better :) (We didn't take our camera off the boat this day so sorry for the lack of pictures)

Our second stop, Puerto Vallarta, was mine and Logan's favorite!  We got off the ship and found a zip line through the locals and it was honestly one of the funnest (I know that's technically not a word) things I've ever done.  I did a zip line once before but we did it through the cruise line and it wasn't nearly as good as this one.  If you're in Puerto Vallarta, go on the Canopy River zip line!  Unfortunately they made everyone put their cameras inside lockers before we started because they wanted you to buy the ones they took, which we didn't.

The last two days were spent at sea and unfortunately the weather got a little gloomy as we got closer to LA so we didn't do much outside. Thank goodness there's a lot to do on a cruise ship!  Other than the different ports, a few of our favorite things were the nightly Sushi Bar, the Comedy Club, the Couples Game (it was absolutely hilarious), and of course all the food you can possibly eat!  

We're so happy we took the break from school and work and look forward to our next adventure...whenever and wherever that is!
