A Month Ago...

Exactly a month ago, Jonathan and I were able to get away on a much needed vacation! We try to have some time together each anniversary, and this year was no different. We headed out to New Orleans for a cruise down to Mexico! And we had such a blast!! 

Flight to New Orleans!


Having fun on the flight! 


The Sudoku King! 


Bourbon Street!



The next day was our first sailing day! So we headed to the docks and boarded our ship! 
We were so excited!!



Our new favorite after-dinner drink...
the Chocolatini!


Hello Cozumel! 


Playing on the inflatables! So much fun!



He's such a hottie!


and yes, one of his favorite things to do is play around! It's always an adventure with this guy!



Water slide time!



Relaxing on our anniversary!


Bye bye Cozumel!


Anniversary dinner! Couldn't get a better view and sunset if we tried! 


...and to top it off, some of the servers sang us a happy anniversary song! 


It's been a sweet 7 years! <3


The next morning we were in the Yucatan! Off to another adventure!


Loved all the cute elephants on the chairs by the pool! 






Dune buggy rides anyone?!


Our new friends riding with us for the day!



Exploring Mexico!


Salt baths - and yes, the water is pink!



Driving by the ruins!





After driving all through the town, seeing the salt baths, the flamingos & the local ruins, we went to a private beach club and swam at the beach. It was a great way to cool off. Luckily it was a little overcast, but it was still hot!


You can't go to Mexico and not take $1 shots of Tequila! 
Salud!


Adios Progreso!


Our last day on the ship, we lounged all day! We hung out at the pool, took naps and read. It was the perfect way to end our cruise! 
And it didn't hurt that we had such a beautiful sunset the last night! 


Once we returned to New Orleans, we had a few hours before we had to go back to the airport. So we decided to check out a few popular yummy restaurants before heading home. We heard we had to try the beignets at Cafe du Monde and the oysters at Acme Oyster House! 

The beignets were delish - warm and fresh out of the oven!


Now I'm not a fan of oysters, but I would gladly go back to Acme ANYDAY! Best charbroiled oysters ever! Such a great way to end our trip.


Special thanks to our amazing family for watching our girls and making our trip possible! <3
