Travels abroad and Visiting home in SD mark on 28 Mar 2007 07:29 pm
Man Overboard!
No, just kidding. Nobody went overboard. But we were on a boat for four days and it could have happened, what with all the raucous behavior. My sister got married on a cruise down to Mexico. The wedding was held before the ship left the port and then we spent the next three and a half days “celebrating”. I was her Maid of Honor. Here is a picture of Mark and I. I cropped it out of the whole family photo since all the other people may not want their ugly mugs shown here:
Of course, I would have more photos if Mark and I hadn’t forgotten our camera. Again. Did I mention we did this when we went to Costa Rica, too??? But I will get some from the other photogs in the family and then I will post them up here.
The best part of the cruise (besides the wedding, of course–though I am obligated to say that 🙂 ) was the day we were in Mexico. Granted, Ensenada is kind of like the armpit of Baja California. But I just loooooove Mexico. We hung out in a restaurant with an oudoor patio and plenty of warm sunshine. I ate a few fresh fish tacos with all the authentic toppings and Mark had some shrimp tacos, also delicious. Both of our families (ours and my sister’s new in-laws) were there, so we had a group of like 30 people all around the table and there was so much joking and laughing that my sides hurt. Plus I got a small, almost unnoticeable tan on my face and arms. Wouldn’t want to get skin cancer.
Oh. And the second highlight had to have been Mark singing a Madonna song at karaoke. Man, he should have been a performer. He just loves to show off in front of people, especially strangers. It was really hilarious.
Even though it was a vacation, we didn’t get much rest. There was always something to do or people to hang out with. So when we got home, Mark and I promptly spent the afternoon napping. You know, recovering. From vacation. Heh.
**I’ll let you know when there are more wedding pics to show–I’ll make an album for them.
