Jeremy finished his finals on Friday and on Sunday we left on our 7 day cruise to Mexico!!! This was our first cruise so we were both very excited, plus we were able to go with our friends Tyler and Blair (Jeremy was companions with Tyler in the MTC and they both served in Paraguay). They were a blast to vacation with and we'll have to do something again with them!(*THANKS guys for such a great trip!*) The ship made three stops: in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The weather was nice and hot the whole time with exception of a few cold/windy days at sea. Here we are leaving the ship to go to Cabo.
Cabo's beaches were so beautiful! We took a glass bottom water taxi around the coast to look at all the rock formations. The picture above is Los Arcos.
There wasn't much to do in Mazatlan so we just walked along the beach and found a really nice resort to eat lunch at and use their sweet pool. After lunch we toured the city and Jeremy got to use his spanish quite a bit.

Puerta Vallarta was by far our favorite stop. It was beautiful!! Unfortunately we were not able to get any pics because the excursion we went on did not allow cameras. Bummer. Our excursion was an adventure tour in the jungle. We started out by taking a boat out to a private beach. Then we all piled in the back of a truck and took a ride up into the mountains. This ride seriously reminded me of the Indiana Jones ride. It was so rough (but it lasted way longer than the ride at Dland). Anyway, then we all get out and were each given a mule we had to ride up a steep, narrow trail that took about 40 mins to get up to the top. Finally when we got to the top of the trail we got off the donkeys and hiked up a super steep trail. This was fun but I was glad I had been working out or I might not have made it. Luckily there was gatorade at the top for us to take a quick gulp. Then it was time for zip lining! We did about 15 different ziplines on this excursion. We were about 200 feet above the jungle and were able to look out at the mountains. some were ziplines that landed into pools from the river. It was so beautiful! I wasn't scared at all. We also went repelling down a couple waterfalls and other cliffs. There were a couple of times we had to do a free fall jump off the side of the mountain. It was so much fun I can't even explain it. It was such a thrill, they just tell us to jump off the edge and trust the ropes and so we would freefall before being slowed down for the landing... At the end of the excursion we had to cross some bridges made of roap which of course the guys had a fun time trying to shake us off. Then we hiked back down to the camp. It was so beautiful hiking through the jungle. We didn't get any pics because they were charging $17 for one pic!!!! I hate that. At least we will have the memories. I reccommend this excursion to everyone. It is definintely worth every penny!
Then of course there was dinner. It was so much fun to get dressed up and eat all the foods we could never afford, or want to try before.
We had so much fun with our friends Tyler and Blair. This is us leaving the ship and going back to reality.

Wow! Looks like youi guys did a lot! It makes me want to go on vacation so bad. Glad you guys are back. We should get together soon.
Man that sounds like a lot of fun. If we ever go again we'll definitely give the zip line a try (it'd be fun to watch Brittany do the zip line right now though...). We're glad you survived!
Lex and I took that same cruise. If you liked it, you'll love the Carribean. Actually any cruise is ok with me. It looks like you had a great time. Congrats Jeremy on completing finals. What a great feeling.

Sooo fun. We have been to Cabo a few times and love it there. That glass bottom boat is crazy huh! That is neat to take those trips now before you have kids and leaving is super stressful! glad you had fun!
oh im so jealous that you guys went on a cruise! looks like you guys had so much fun!
Brie you look absolutely gorgeous in your pics of the cruise. How fun. Work hard play hard, thats our motto, oh wait we are still waiting for the "play" :) And I heard Shane is moving out to good ol Az. I think I am going to have to leave you in charge of stopping in on those boys to make sure they are behaving. It could be dangerous but I'm sure they will have a BLAST.
Love
