I’m slowly getting through all the photos and adding the captions.. Here are two more sets for your enjoyment.
First is the pictures we took on the boat during our cruise. I had to document the huge suite room we had, the food, the fun action out on the decks, etc etc. This took place over the course of the week but it made more sense to put it all in one album instead.
You can also see the photos from the ports of call. We went to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. We had a fun horseback ride in Mazatlan that is the photo you see here. Is it just me or is it hard to look attractive while riding a horse?? hahaha.
Okay – it’s not really as much a vacation hangover as much as a cold I caught while on vacation, but “hangover” sounds much cooler.
So, in case you’re out of the loop, we were off for 2 weeks to San Diego, a cruise on the Mexican Riviera, and then some jaunting around Los Angeles. Tons of fun was had, much relaxing was done, and I suffered a red eye flight with the bird flu (sorry if you’re a poor soul that I infected along the way). As the suitcases become unpacked, the laundry done, and the photos sorted, I will (hopefully) return to the blogosphere.
Right now, I do have some photos to share. Our first stop in California was the San Diego Zoo. It was awesome. But, for the value, I must say after experiencing one of the most Famous Zoos There Is I really have more appreciation for our NC Zoo. It is actually pretty impressive for, ahem, being in the middle of nowhere North Carolina. Nonetheless, we saw some awesome new warm-weather animals at the San Diego Zoo (pandas, flamingos, and more!), rode the scary tight-rope ride, and of course watched the sea lion show. A good time was had by all. You can experience it first-hand here (though, our camera died at the end of the day so you miss 8000 flamingo pictures I would have taken. Poor you.)
The next day, we explored Old Town and Balboa Park in San Diego before heading north to Escondido for Stone Brewery, Pizza Port, and an un-impressive LSS. Someone very much enjoyed the beer culture of SoCal and stocked up on some new beer wardrobe items. Balboa Park was really beautiful – lots of gardens and historic architecture. Fair warning that our battery was just fine and therefore are the 8000 pictures of flowers and cacti. Proceed if you are brave.
