Cruising


We had a wonderful 4 day cruise from LA to Catalina Island and Ensenada. It was the perfect way to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We realized that the two of us haven't been away together since before we had Gracie. (Thanks to my sister for watching the girls.)We loved staying up late together, sleeping in (one morning Ben slept until 10:30), sight seeing, relaxing, and just being together. It really didn't matter what we were doing we just enjoyed having one another all to ourselves. Many people asked us if we were on our honeymoon. I don't know if it's because we were always holding hands or b/c we look so young.
In Catalina we took a glass bottom boat and saw a lot of fish.
In Ensenada we shopped at the flee market and went to La Bufadora (a famous blow hole). It was funny seeing Ben use his Spanish to bargain at the market. The locals were impressed at how well he spoke.

aww you guys are so cute. I'm so glad you two got to get away! I love all the pictures and can't wait to hear more about it! We got to ride a glass bottom boat too, it was really neat!

Looks like you had a blast! We all need some time away from the kidos to get some one on one time with the one we love. Y'all do look great by the way!

I have never been on a cruise - but you make it look downright enviable. Glad you had a good time.

And I think you are both going to look like newlyweds for a long time - looking young isn't bad either!!

Fun, Emily. Brigham and I need to do something like that. MAybe for our 10 year? Haha. Your tan ended up looking good. Brigham and I did that cruise for our honeymoon. There were a bunch of 40 something boozers on our boat- but we still had fun. :) Just being able to sleep in IS a total luxury! Miss you!
