Oakes Gone Wild-Spring Break 2010

Here is a snapshot of our Mexican getaway two weeks ago. We left from San Diego on the Holland America Oosterdam and for the first two days we were at sea where; Tyler taught me some dice games, we played cards, rented some books from the ship's library, and ate day and night!
Our first stop was Mazatlan-where we hiked up a large mound of dirt and rock led by some baby goats. We then procured a double-seater kayak and went around Stone Island (seen in the distance in the 1st picture.) We finished off the day with authentic salsa, mexican soda, and iguana pictures-which was more frightening for me than Tyler.
Next stop: Puerto Vallarta! It really has it all-beach, jungle, and sun! We went on a 6 hour tour with our fabulous guide-Carlos! We learned so much about the city and the area. We enjoyed a relaxing day and saw 2 huge sting rays, a surfer, a taxi fight, and some beautiful sand sculptures.
Our last port was Cabo San Lucas. We love this place. Thanks to M & D Oakes, we were able to bypass water taxi's and walk right through a resort to a hidden beach! Tyler and I played in the waves for hours before Tyler decided he could take on the waves and wanted to body surf:)
The cruise was a wonderful way to relax and enjoy each other and this beautiful world! We also were able to spend some time with our family members in San Diego at the Mormon Battlion Center, Fiesta Island, Hiking at Cuyamaca, and family dinners. We love our family and friends so much and appreciate the time we were able to spend together.
