Girls' Cruise

Back in June, my Mom treated my sisters and I to a cruise in celebration of our college graduations. We left our kids home with our husbands (which was an adventure in itself). It was a much-needed break for all of us and it was so much fun! My awesome mother-in-law, who is a travel agent, specializes in cruises, so she found us the perfect cruise and helped us find a great beach in Cozumel.

We sailed on the infamous Carnival Triumph. In case you missed this story, back in February the Triumph had a fire in the engine room, leaving the cruise ship and its passengers stranded at sea for 5 days without power and with some serious plumbing issues.  I won't go into details about the conditions, but let's just say we were all relieved to hear that the ship had been completely renovated.

We had rooms with balconies, which we LOVED. It was so nice to have our own private little place to see the ocean. We even had the door between our balconies opened.

We all went on a cruise in 2008 with our families, and this Chocolate Melting Cake is what we dreamed about for years after. We made sure we had it every night on the cruise. We occasionally ordered another dessert to try, but this was always hands-down the best. 

We stopped in Cozumel, where we spent the day at a beach lounging, swimming, and playing on their water toys.

We had such a great time!
