Thanksgiving week was CRAZY busy. So, instead of boring you with the details, I'll just do a short recap.
Friday-I left Rexburg, drove to SLC, and then flew to LAX where my family picked me up and we then drove to La Jolla, CA.
Saturday- Woke up early and Dad+Jack and I went to the San Diego Temple and did baptisms. The inside of that temple is prettier than that outside... and that's saying something.
Then we went back to the hotel, ate breakfast and changed our clothes. Then we picked up Colleeny and off to Legoland! Unfortunately, it was POURING rain the entire time, but it was still fun. Then dinner with Bruce and Silvia, took Colleen home and went to bed.
Sunday- Woke up early, went to a TINY ward in La Jolla, came home, finished packing, drove to San Pedro, got on the Mariner of the Seas, saw the Bements, set sail, etc.
Monday- At sea (or as they liked to tell us sometimes, in the ocean which is a horrible way to phrase it...). Went rock climbing. Got a sore throat.
Tuesday- Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We were tendering! (My faveee) Much sicker than I was on Monday. Stayed in bed almost all day long (besides eating and going ashore for a little while). We also went ice skating (on the ship. :) )
Wednesday- Mazatlan, Mexico. Still sick. Went into town a little bit. Not too exciting. We got to ride fun trolleys though.
Thursday- Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. Went to the doctor, got some medicine and such for my cough and strep throat. Became bff's with the doctor (she kissed me on the check when I left. haha). Went shopping at Walmart and the little market. super precious.
Friday- At Sea. Woke up early for an [unnecessary] ice skating lesson. I was so good they said I could be in their show. Except they actually didn't let me. Uh, that's like all we did.
Saturday- At Sea. I'm pretty sure we did nothing. Just kidding. It was the most exciting day of my life. We got to go on a tour of the bridge (which for those of you who aren't aware, it's the cockpit.) We got to sit in the driving chair and see all their controls and everything. Then we went on a tour of the galley (which is the kitchen.) We went on a tour of the galley on the Princess cruise we went on last summer and it was much more infomative... but it was still fun. And the bridge was fantastic. Other than that, we watched A LOT of the style network and it was hilariously great.
Sunday- Woke up very early, packed, ate breakfast, disembarked, walked like 7 miles to the car (okay, really like 1/2 mile but still...), drove to LAX, flight delayed, standby on earlier flight, heartattack waiting to know if I was on the early flight, got on it, got to SLC at about the same time anyway, because of the silly snow, waited for the shuttle, drove from 3 pm until like 9... and my hair kept freezing to the window.
But it was so great to be back in Rexburg. Minus the snow and sickness. And all the work I have to do... Oh well.
Anyway, that's all. hahaha :)
Also, the only turkey I ate the entire week was on my sandwich for lunch at Legoland. hahaha
