New puppy- Riley

We ended up getting a playmate for Dublyn. We got her from a rescue in SC. She is part Jack Rusell and part Pappilon....but is obviously mostly Jack Russel. It took her and Dubs a little while to get used to each other, but were chasing each other around the yard in no time.


Luckily Dubs is good at sharing her food. Which is good because Riley ate all of the food!

Whose bone is whose is still a struggle though.

Last night on the boat!

The last night on the boat at dinner. Our waiters sang a song every night. It was interesting to say the least.

Travis & Breanne celebrating 1yr of marriage. Their cake was good.
There was always a new towel animal when we returned to our room after dinner. The last night it was a monkey hanging from the lights. Sam tried to duplicate and finally succeeded. We had a blast on our cruise and will definitely do it again sometime.

Off-Road Buggy & Horseback riding in Ensenada, Mexico

Below are a few pics from Ensenada, Mexico. We took off road dune buggies across the Guadalupe Valley. The bandannas were necessary to keep the dust out of our noses. We took it off some sweet jumps.






Next, we went horseback riding. It was fun, but I soon realized that boxers +running horse+ being male= hurting.




Below is a pic of the Black Pearl from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. It was in the dry dock getting ready to be re-sanded. It will then sail up to San Diego for display.

This is the horse and carriage that we took into town. It beats being hounded by little kids wanting money!

Sailing into Catalina Island

The birds got pretty use to people leaving food outside.







Second night of dinner. It was "formal" night. I couldn't wait to get back into shorts and a T again!
Our dinner table partners Travis & Breanne, Ivan & Crystal.
Our waiter...95% are foreign.

Sailing out from SD!

Our ship set sail Sunday afternoon from San Diego. Below are pics from the first day on the boat!

Lunch at Waves in San Diego

We stopped in and saw Luke when we were in SD. We went to Waves for lunch with him and his two friends Sean & Emily. It was right on the beach. It was very nice...and no humidity!

Old Town San Diego

This is our Hotel in Old Town. It was very nice...much better than the HoJo! The shuttle service took us to the Zoo and anywhere we needed to go...within reason.


This is where we ate dinner after returning from the Zoo. Its called Cafe Coyote. We'd recommend it to anyone if you're in the area.
