The OMC Cruise to Mexico

Spencer works for an amazing company who every year takes all their employees and their spouses on an all expense paid weekend cruise to Mexico. We had a hard time deciding whether or not to go because we couldn't take Kate and I wasn't sure I could be a way from her for that long. (I'm a baby, I know) We ended up going and my sister, Rachel watched Kate for us while we were gone for 4 days traveling the Pacific Ocean.

We left Friday morning to fly into LAX and then took a bus to the port. From there we mostly did a lot of eating, relaxing, people watching, sleeping, gambling (don't tell anyone) and just hangin' out on the ship.

We had to do a safety check and after seeing this picture, I think anyone could spot us if they shined a light on us - the reflectors work.

Friday evening we watch the sun set as we chatted with the Behm's and JD. So pretty!

Saturday morning we arrived in Ensanada, Mexico and the whole Utah clan headed into town to do some shopping. (we all stuck together most of the trip anyway). We bought some souvenirs for the kids and took advantage of being on land again.

Doesn't Spencer look like he fits right in? If it wasn't for his lack of speaking espanol I think we might have mistaken him for a local.

When Spencer saw a McDonald's he was so relieved because now he could get an ice cream cone and not worry about what else he might be eating. He was lovin' it.

That night was the Captain's Dinner where you get all dressed up. I thought it was so fun to get all fancied up and even though he'll never admit it, I think Spencer enjoyed it too.

Sunday we hung out at sea and there wasn't a lot to do. By then I was really missing our little girl and was getting anxious to get back home. Monday morning was madness as everyone on the huge ship tried to leave at the same time. Once we were off the boat I was happy to be on the good ole' solid land. No rocking and that very subtle nauseated feeling I got every once in awhile on the cruise. It was our first cruise and it was definitely a learners course. When we go again we'll have a much better idea of how it all works and what to expect. We are so grateful to Rachel and Anthony for watching Kate, and to OMC especially Robin for taking us on the cruise. It was a wonderful experience and we both loved it.
