We enjoyed a nice vacation over Spring Break this past April. We went down to San Diego, CA and boarded the Carnival Elation for a 4 day cruise to Catalina Island, and Ensenada, Mexico. The kids had a great time on the ship, the girls basked in the sun most of the time, and they boys play basketball a lot. Alex enjoyed the endless buffets and food bars that cruises dish out. But poor Alex felt humiliated as he was out eaten by his little 12 year old cousin Brock.
Catalina was great, the kids spent most of the day on the beach while some of us rented a golf cart and drove around the city of Avalon. There were lots of fun little shops and places to eat. We had a great time there.
Mexico, was well.....Mexico, I swore I would never go to that hole again, but I did. And though we were in of course a good area of Ensenada, it was still pretty bad and most of the kids realized that they were no longer in America and really wanted to get back to the ship where they felt safe. Nothing bad happened; it is just a dirty, filthy, gross place. It is no wonder those poor people want to get across the boarder, I don't blame them one bit.
After the cruise we went up to Anaheim, CA and went to my second home for 3 days (Disneyland). I can never get enough of that place it is such a wonderful place to play and have a good time. Nothing compares to it, in my opinion.
I went by the old house and saw Darryl Nichols (an old neighbor and friend) He looked good and we caught up on what has happened the last 15 years or so since I saw him last.
From there we went up to St. George, UT and spent Easter (and Zach's Birthday) up there. (Well actually Leesa continued on her way home) But on our way there we stopped off at Buffalo Bill's in Primm, NV and road the Desperado (a 225 foot high roller coaster). Parker road it too and had a blast, he has never been on a roller coaster so high before.
Overall we had a good time. Feel free to go to my Facebook page to see our pictures

Darrin, I am totally jealous of your trip to San Diego. I will be heading that direction in August if all plays out right. We need to seriously get the families together. Eve gets married on the 23rd and Star is having surgary on the 26th. So lets look for something in June.
