A Long Needed Vacation!

We had a fabulous vacation! Logan and I went and spent a few days with my mom, then left him there while we headed on a cruise with Dans brother Steven and his wife Tara. Dan has been working 7 days a week since September... he REALLY needed a vacation, and I REALLY needed 4 days of undivided attention!
When Dan met us in California we decided to take Logan swimming for the first time. He was a little worried at first, but by the end he layed back and spread his arms out and started to fall asleep. He loves bathtime more than anything else, it was like taking a big bath with Mom and Dad!!!
We left on our cruise Thursday, we had so much fun! Steve and Tara are a lot of fun to travel with. We sat in the hot tub, went down the slide in the pool, ate a lot, and took lots of pictures! On Friday we were in Mexico. We took a tour of the city, a little shopping district, and their blowhole.
Dan and I had been there before, but it was pretty and NOT raining this time! We had an excellent mexican food lunch, and we saw the BLACK PEARL (from the movie Pirates of the Caribean)! The boat was parked in a dry dock behind a fence near the city center, but we got as close as we could to take pictures.
I really wish Scott was there to see it! We watched Steven do kareoke (AWESOME), and even had a dressy night for dinner.
When we got off the boat Sunday, we couldn't have gotten home any faster to see Logan. He had so much fun with my parents, and got really attached to my mom. He still looks around for her when he gets up in the morning! We got home Monday and I've been trying to catch up on laundry and cleaning the house since then... back to real life! Nellie stayed with Lindsey and Matthew, they spoil her! She is still mad we made her come home!
Even though it was hard to leave LJ, Im so glad we made it on vacation! Thanks Steve and Tara for going with us!!!
