Simply Living: February Vacation

I'm baaaccckkk! This was my home for the past several days, and let me just tell you--if you need a little get-away to Cozumel, Mexico, the Carnival Elation is the way to go. We left from New Orleans on Thursday, and returned Monday morning. The inside of the ship was gorgeous..well actually, the whole ship was..and the best part was the unlimited chicken fingers and honey mustard. (If you know me then you know this is my absolute favorite.) The first "fun day at sea" was overcast, but still super relaxing. In Mexico we took a catamaran boat out to Passion Island. The weather was PERFECT..sunny skies accompanied by a light breeze. I could not think of a better way to spend my Saturday other than floating on a raft in the Caribbean...oh and not to mention a little shopping at the market. What would a trip to Mexico be without bargaining for cheesy tourist items? The last "fun day at sea" was absolutely beautiful. Dad and I got lay out chairs on the very back deck of the boat so that the sun was facing us, and indeed we got fried. The water was literally glistening..pictures don't do it justice. We got to watch the super bowl on the big screen (and i mean biggggg screen) during the last night which was really neat. What's awesome is that whenever Dad and I watch Eli play together..he always wins....no joke. It goes all the way back to when I was in junior high watching him play for Ole Miss (yes i used to be a MAJOR rebel..weird huh?) That pretty much wraps it up in a tiny nut-shell. I still feel like the ground is rocking everywhere I walk due to the fact that the seas were so rough. It kind of sucks getting back to reality, but hey..SB 2012 is right around the corner! I've gotta get back to my swamp of school work, but I'll leave y'all with some pictures from the trip. Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week!
