Feliz Navidid con mi familia!

The best part about Christmas is the lasting memories with family.

I won't argue that finding creative gifts to give one another can always be fun - but this year - we scratched the gift giving and voted to spend a week together - cruise style.

Have you been on a cruise before?

It was my first time. I'm going back.

We left from New Orleans and were gone for seven days.

Bags packed? Check.

Monday - at sea all day. We enjoyed hot tubbing, the running track on deck 13, family pictionary, catch phrase, movies, karioke, entertainment shows, and ice cream at every meal.

Tuesday - Mayan Ruins (Costa Maya, Mexico).

Wednesday - Ziplining and beach day (Raton, Honduras). I was throwing up during the night due to food poisoning, but I managed to feel better just in time to enjoy this...

Thursday - Cave Tubing (Belize). (No photo of this event as no one had a waterproof camera!)

Friday - Snorkeling and shopping (Cozumel). Everyone was jealous of my pink flippers. ;)

Saturday - at sea all day. Maybe we all got a little sea sick and went to bed early on Christmas afternoon.

This was definitely a Christmas I'll never forget. Ever.

P. S. This little boy was a champ. And Santa found him!
