Birthday Cruise!

My mom, sister, and I all celebrated "milestone" birthdays last year... uh, they were 50, 30, and 20 respectively... hee hee!  So we decided to do something extra special!  We went on a cruise!

We left out of Galveston aboard Carnival's Triumph headed for Progreso and Cozumel.  We had a very nice room with two twin beds and a loft bunk (guess who slept in that?!). 

We also had a balcony where we spent a lot of time enjoying the views and sounds of the ocean.

As always on a cruise, dinnertime was always a treat.

We had lovely table mates - here are Diane and her twin granddaughters, Christina and Jennifer:

 ...and here is Keith with the "two Sues" (as we referred to them!)  They were Sue Ellen and Sue Ann.

 We did a little shopping in Progreso and Mom surprised us with these sexy shirts!

 ...look at them from the back!!  Hilarious!  We received many comments as the three of us walked around the ship. 

Here is our ship (on the right) docked in Cozumel alongside the Carnival Legend.   We were the only two ships there that day.
 
...and Oh, what a fabulous day we had in Cozumel!  This gentleman was a huge part of it... this is Lorenzo, our tour guide!  Ahhhh, Lorenzo!  What a charmer! 

We took a jeep tour of the town with stops at a nature preserve, beach, lighthouse, and then back for lunch.  Audrey did all the driving!

Here we are on the beach in Cozumel.  Oh, what fun we had!!

We had one formal night on the ship and we took the opportunity to have our portrait made.  This is a scanned copy of the original, so it's not very high quality, but you get the idea.  I will cherish this photo forever...

I have many, many more photos, but these were just a few of my favorites.  What a wonderful, memorable trip we had... can't wait to do it again!
