Luke and I have been wanting to take a vacation together for a while now (18 months to be exact) and our dream finally come true. Thanks to a beautiful tax return, we took a quick 4 day cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. I won't bore you with details, but some highlights include: Luke getting on a "gameshow" and winning a plastic ship and a bottle of champagne (woohoo!), getting totally scammed at the Blowhole - a "not to miss, one-of-a kind experience that will blow your mind" which turned out to be about as exciting as opening the dishwasher and watching steam blow out of it, eating our weight in vanilla/chocolate swirl 24-hour ice cream, sitting in the hot tub till we were wrinkled from head to toe, meeting some amazing people, almost witnessing a boy drowning (until a fully clothed waiter jumped into the pool to save him while his sister and mom stood 3 feet away screaming at the top of their lungs), and definitely a highlight - renting a tandem (2 person) bicycle and almost rolling backward down a hill while people flew by on their rented golf carts chanting , "I think I can, I think I can." We had the time of our lives, and will never forget it.

Yay for pictures of your cruise! Looks so fun and warm and I can't wait to hear more about it. Rick and I are deciding about a cruise this summer and we're waiting to hear about yours so we can see what they're all about. And the highlights you wrote about, way fun and we want a longer explanation of most of them. So glad you guys treated yourselves!

Yay for you guys! We are so jealous. It was probably just what the doctor ordered.
I am so excited you got to do that. I thought of you the whole time. I was like "Today Luke and Ash start their cruise. . ." "Today Luke and Ash are on their cruise." When my parents told me they got to talk with you I was like "How was the cruise?!" I am so happy you got to go. You two deserve it!!!
That sounds sooo fun! I miss you guys! I'm so glad to see you so happy Ash.
