Starting A New Year

Our family Christmas present this year was a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. Friday, January 15th we boarded the Carnival Elation in San Diego


As soon as we were on board, Kendall headed straight for the pool. The kids had lots of swimming time.

When we weren't swimming (or eating ice-cream) we could play mini golf. There was always something to do.

We enjoyed the dinning room. The kids were brave and tried all kinds of different & strange food.
Our favorite was the "warm chocolate melting cake".



Sunday, January 17th, We were in Ensenada, Mexico.







We visited La Bufedora.
(The blowhole)








Jens and Ashton experience Mexico.
They learned the art of shopping and bartering.




It was a great day. 70 degree weather and the best asada and fish tacos.









As soon as we got of the ship, we headed for Sea World. We had a great time until we got rained out. We were told it was one of their worst storms in 15 years.











The vacation is over. No more fun in the sun. This is what we came home to. This is our back yard. You can almost see the trampoline. The swing set has a slide, but it is completely buried. At least we didn't have to shovel snow. Family, friends, and neighbors had everything dug out when we got home.
