We arrived at the Port Saturday afternoon and saw people like this. Thats our friend Ross in the middle...lol
We got a sweet handicap room and I say that with sincerity because our room was huge. We had ramps everywhere and a seat in our shower!! How much more luxorious does life get??
Our ship had so many pools and hot tubs and a lot of elderly people. Al kept joking about it being The Jerry Atrick ship. Al of course loved all the pizza, hot dogs, fries, and hamburgers.
Our first amazing stop was Santa Barbara and we were luckily there before those horrible fires started. The fog was so bad that day we couldn't dock until noon which totally sucked, but whats worse than not going to Mexico:)
Alas the fog cleared and we walked all over the place.
We found a fun Cinco De Mayo festival going on. Vendors were selling tons of these pretty decorated eggs filled with confetti and Al corrected me and said they are called Cascarones.
They even had Obama ones.
I had this amazing Avocado salad on State Street and got bored watching sports, so I took some pictures of beer.
It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun.Our next stop was San Diego. Al and I decided to go to the San Diego Zoo and it was fantastic!
So many fun animals. I will beign with my personal favorites the giraffes and elephants. The elephants were doing circus tricks when we got there. I loved it.
The Koalas were very entertaining. I have no idea how they sleep in the trees like that.
Al saw Puma from Lion King
Hungry Hungry Hippos
The gorillas which were so fun to watch even when they had their butt turned to you.
Loved these weird hairy camels. The one on the right has foam coming out of his mouth.
This Zoo is so big they have a tram that takes you from one end to the other..
Goodbye San Diego
Hello San Francisco. This picture was taken off our balcony.
We did sooo much this day. We went to Alcatraz
Pier 39
Fishermans Wharf
So many beautiful flowers in San Fran. It reminded me of the song... If you're going to San FranciscoBe sure to wear some flowers in your hair
We met up with my BF Curtis from Highschool and walked to Lombard Street.
Then we walked to China Town which I don't feel like uploading pictures of because they are taking extremely long to upload because my new camera apparently takes HUGE pictures.I will post a picture of the most amazing mall we went to by Union Square. It was like good ol Crossroads in SLC, but 8 stories and so many escalators going everywhere. I made Al go to the top floor with me and ride them all the way down....lol
We then walked all the way back to the ship which was at Pier 27. In case you were wondering it starts at Pier 1 1/2. My legs still hurt from walking.
It was really cool to go under the Golden Gate Bridge on a cruise ship.
The last day on the ship Al loaded up on Pizza and we relaxed in the sun just like these people.
Here is a pic with our dinner friends.
The best ice cream dessert ever that had fire in the middle.
and the full moon above the ocean.
Some of my favorite highlights from the cruise. All the Mexico souveneirs that were 50% off
The frog leg dinner. I'm usually pretty good about trying foods, but the fact that the frog legs still looked liked the frog legs wasn't working for me. I tried it anyway, but it was a little bland
Al eating 3 or 4 desserts every night
Formal Nights
The String chortet which reminded of our wedding, but we only ended up with two because the chello players water broke.
Bingo because one At Sea Day it was really cold. We have our own Dabber now. I might start up a new hobby in Las Vegas.
And this random guy that was a cruise port walker(just like a mall walker) We had to wait for my uncle Ben to come get us and I kept seeing this guy walk past us. I finally figured out that he was a cruise port walker and this picture was taken around the 20th time he walked by us. Bless his heart.
If you are still reading you are a true Al and Whitney blog lover and I appreciate it because I just spent two hours on this...lol Although we didn't go to Mexico we had a blast and Princess gave everyone half of what you spent towards another cruise. Hooray!! California...knows how to party California...knows how to partyIn the citaaay of L.A.In the citaaay of good ol' Watts In the citaaay, the city of ComptonWe keep it rockin!
