Kevin doesn't always get spring break off, but this year he did and we wanted to do a fun vacation with Matt and Kelsi. We had some friends who were going to their condo in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and had said if anyone wanted to come it could be really fun. Well Kevin checked air fair and the cost for us to stay at the same condo, and it was really pricey. Then he decided to look and see how much it would cost for a cruise to Mexico. Well needless to say, the cruise was a lot more cost effective. The fun thing was that the cruise was going to stop in Cabo.

Well I thought it would be fun to keep it a secret from Matt and Kelsi. The problem was that we had to go get their passports and when you get a passport they ask where you will be traveling, so I said Mexico. Matt and Kelsi immediately assumed we were going with our friends, but I assured them that we weren't, that we were going to San Diego (the ship was leaving out of San Diego) and maybe we would go across the border to Mexico.

I had to keep this little "secret" for many months and it was a little difficult. But I did it. Some of the friends (little) found out we would be in Mexico and told Kelsi, but I assured her that her friend was mistaken. I am pretty sure Matt and Kelsi knew something was up because every time they made a suggestion as to what we could do in San Diego, I would say, "That's a good idea, we'll have to see".

Well the day finally came and we flew to San Diego, we got into the taxi and the kids didn't hear where Kevin told the driver we needed to go, so when we pulled into the port where the cruise lines were, they asked what we were doing there, I said we were just going for a little drive by the ships and they said, "We can do that?" I said, "Sure." Well, they were pretty excited when the cab driver got out, opened his trunk and unloaded our bags!

I was tired of keeping the secret and they were loving life!

We had such a fun time and we did get to stop in Cabo and spend the whole day with the Halker's and Davidson's. The kids loved the beach and sunshine.

We also stopped in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.
