20th Wedding Anniversary Cruise


We celebrated our 20th anniversary on a cruise to Cozumel. Oh what can I say. This was the most amazing time we have spent together. We flew to Houston and spent three days shopping and eating. It's been 10 years since we lived in Texas. Texans are so much fun. We then drove down to Galveston and boarded the Ecstasy. We were treated like royalty. For being first time cruisers our room, and the location was perfect.

One of our excursions was to Dolphin Discovery for a dolphin encounter. We really had an amazing experience with them. When we walked out to the water they swam right over to us to check us out. They reminded me of dogs. They are curious and love to play.

This is Romeo! I was kind of scared when I was out in the middle of the water and this huge fish starts swimming toward me with his fin showing. I had nightmares the whole summer when I was 8 after watching the movie Jaws. I was traumatized for years because of that stupid movie.

Our next excursion was snorkeling. I have always wanted to breath under water. The fish would swim right up into your hands and play with us. The buoyancy in the salt water was wonderful we swam forever with no life jacket.

Relaxing on the beach with the soft sand was calming and peaceful. While everyone was fighting crowds shopping for the holidays we were basking in the sun. Everyone needs to do this in December. Cruising was the ultimate experience for a vacation. I'm counting the days till we can go again.
