Our Summer Vacation

Before Peter takes off for the MTC and the Philippines, our family took off for a great summer vacation. We went on a Royal Carribbean Cruise!! We left from LA, went to SanDiego, Catalina Island, Ensenada Mexico and then back to LA. Cruises really are a great way to travel. . . lots of food, fun, entertainment. . . and more food!!


At "Old Town" in San Diego


Peter and Derek were trying all sorts of new things to eat, here Peter is sampling "Escargo. . .also know as snails" I guess he needs to get used to eating strange things right?!


Formal night. . .we cleaned up nicely !!


Derek and Peter couldn't wait to get back to the rooms at night to see what kind of creature the room attendant had made from the towels. This monkey hanging from the ceiling was their favorite.


Snorkeling on Catalina Island


Shopping in Ensenada was an adventure in and of itself!


Derek making it to the top of the rock wall which was on the ship


What jobs? What responsibilities?? It was nice to forget about them for a few days anyway !!

After the cruise we headed to Six Flags--Magic Mountain so that Peter (The Rollercoaster Maniac) could ride them to his hearts content, and that is exactly what he did!
