Disney Cruise

In April, we were fortunate to be able to join the Galovans for an awesome trip - a cruise from LA to the Mexican Riviera. We LOVED every second of our vacation and would recommend it to anyone!

The best part was being able to be with all 18 of us - 8 adults and 10 kids. We ate together, played together, the cousins went to daycare together...

We spent a lot of time in the dining room - where the 5 big kids had their own table and got to order on their own. This resulted in tons of french fries, mac and cheese and mickey ice cream bars...

They loved seeing who could make the silliest mess with their dessert. This face of Sarah's was a nightly occurrence.
There was even one night that was a pirate-themed party where everyone dressed up and we watched fireworks from the deck of the ship. Here's Gracie's best "Aaarrrrghhhhh"
Annie loved swimming in the Mickey pool on deck. She didn't have to wear floaties because it was mostly about a foot deep. There was also a pool that had a huge flat screen TV above it that played Disney movies 24/7 and a water slide. Tons of fun!!!
One of our favorite days was when we left the ship in Puerto Vallarta and went to a beach for a day of sand, ocean, jetskiing and crab hunting. Anyone that knows our family knows that we don't go long without displaying cartwheels. Here are Lexi and Sarah doing cartwheels on the beach - what could be better :)?

Seeing all of the characters, in a ton of their different outfits, was really cool. They also had the BEST shows ever, with moving stages, fireworks, animation and lots of Disney classic music.


We were suprised at how much we loved the food onboard the ship. Ice cream around the clock? check. Yummy steak and seafood options at every meal? check. Lots of fresh fruit and salads? check. LOVED every minute of our amazing dining experiences :).
We were so sad to leave our ship and drive home. It was something the girls will remember forever!
