WE HAVE RETURNED

I type this from the comfort of my couch, yet still feel that I am swaying to the Cozumel breeze or maybe the Carnival Ecstacy. It was indeed a rocky cruise to Mexico. The winds were incredibly strong and I hope this funky feeling only lasts through today.

We had a good time, saw things we had never seen before, and both agreed that we will not be back on a cruise for a while. The only other cruise we had been wanting to take is the Disney Cruise. We have been waiting for the newest ship to premier sometime in 2011 and for the children to be just a wee bit older to enjoy everything that the Disney Cruise can offer. Shooting for sometime in 2012....if the world doesn't end by then....

Does anyone really believe that craziness??? Not me.

AND I won 2nd place in the cruise TV Trivia game. HOLLA!!!!! I am full of useless info! :)

Anyway, without further ado....the obligatory pictures of our trip to Cozumel.....
