Ensenada, Mexico - La Bufadora

 

 

Day 4 - at sea

 

I can't remember this day too much.  I know the kids swam again and Brit and Ty enjoyed coming and going to the kids club.  Cam liked going from his room to play screens to the 9th deck for pizza and ice cream.  I can't believe we don't have a picture of ice cream cones - the kids had so many.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This day we were so tired.  We had watched the Frozen play, but had an hour until dinner.  Carson got to be crazy tired, so I stayed home so he could sleep.  Landon brought me home some french onion soup and a strawberry shortcake dessert. 

 

 

 

 

 Day 5 - Ensendada

 

Ah... breakfast buffets.  It was so nice to take a break from making meals and washing dishes.

 

  

 

Luckily, our ship could dock at Ensenada, so we got to skip the whole tendering process.  For this day's excursion, we split up.  Landon took the boys kayaking, and I took the two little ones for a sight seeing tour, since they were too young to kayak.  First, we stopped at museum that was once a hotel and casino.  We bought some bracelets there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, we took a one hour bus ride to La Bufadora.  We had to pass lots of vendors on the walk up.  

 

 

 

 

And we got to see the blowhole! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See the kayakers? That's what the boys did.  That wasn't them - I'll get Landon's pictures later. 

 

 

 

 

Lexi got this painted shell (which unfortunately shattered the next day). 

 

 

 

The bus gave us some time to look around.  It was too much time ;-) The vendors wanted to sell me something and the kids, particularly Lexi, wanted to buy everything.  But we ended up getting a snack at a convenience store, and getting some tacos.   

 

 

 

Back on the ship, we went to see Pinocchio as a family.  Carson fell asleep and was out for like 2 hours.

 

 

The servers made him a bed. He eventually woke up.

 

 

 

 

We ate that night at Animator's Palate again.  But this time, they did a light show. The picture frames were tv screens. Even Mickey Mouse came. 

 

 

It was sad to say goodbye to our serve, Dhonny. Cam was especially sad about it.

 

 

Here's the rose Dhonny made.

 

 

 

Disembarking was quite the procedure.  The line was huge, since we were all getting off at the same time.  I wondered where all the people had come from.  Disney had done a good job hiding all the people away in different places during the cruise.  It took maybe 45 minutes.  I started talking to the man behind me. That cruise had been his 10th Disney cruise! Now we know what to expect, it'd be easier to do it again.  We felt like we ate all the time, and needed more exercise, but it was definitely a fun and tiring experience :-)
