Cruising Mexico

Chillin in the pool....Emma feeling better here.

Drinks in Zihuantenjo.

Water slide on the ship.

Zihuantenejo fishing boats.


Our cruise was tons of fun. We all boarded the ship with some type of illness. Julianna a cough, Victoria and Emma a fever, Matthew a "tickle" in his throat. So when Emma puked at 2am the first night, I chalked it up to a bug. The puking, accompanied by a fever, continued off and on for a few days when suddenly (after catching her puke in a napkin at breakfast) I thought..."um, maybe she's seasick?" we were given some kids Dramamine (by a very nice guy at the table next to us), and she was better within an hour. Well, at least we think she was better. The Dramamine pretty much put her in a coma. I felt like a horrible mother, letting her suffer all week just thinking that she had the flu. Lesson learned......don't forget the Dramamine! Despite all the obstacles it really was lots of fun, the girls had a blast with all the kids activities, and mommy actually got to sit and read 2 whole books. It is always good to be home and on land though. Every now and then I still feel the boat sway beneath me!
