Professional pictures from the cruise

Cruise to Cozumel!

We decided to take a cruise to Cozumel as our family trip this year. We left Brownsville Wednesday afternoon and at about 2 hours out of Brownsville Clark asked me if I remembered the birth certificates. Ooops......we turned around and headed back. In the meantime a friend went to the house, got them and met us in Memphis so it ended up adding only 2 hours to the drive instead of 4. We spent the night in Jackson (MS) to leave CJ with grandparents and then headed to Mobile the next morning.

I really can't remember why I didn't get my camera out until dinner (maybe it was in my suitcase?), but here we are getting ready to go to our first dinner. You will see lots of pictures of Clark, the girls, and me because we didn't see Clayton much. The kids had different "clubs" they could attend and Clayton made several friends quickly. It felt like we were back home when the girls got kicked out of their room (the kids had a room and we had a room) so Clayton and his friends could hang out.



This is our room. I felt like it was a good size. Our window looked out the back of the ship.




Headed down the hall to go exploring.


The view from our window the next morning.


As you can tell by Camille's area, we all took advantage of the buffet.


Dolphins swimming by the boat. There were about 10 of them and this was a mom and baby.




In line for the slide.

They had putt putt on the top deck. It was VERY windy up there.



I caught Clayton walking by and made him stop for a few pictures.



Another view from our window. There is a HUGE barge way off in the distance.




Getting ready to watch a comedy show in the freezing theater.



We got up early on Saturday to watch the sunrise.



Clayton played basketball while we waited for the sun to come out from behind the clouds.








Cozumel! It was overcast in the morning and sprinkled a little, but it cleared up.
