Wow what can I say about the way this vacation started. We left Dallas Wed and stayed in Houston over night so we wouldn't have to drive into Galveston the next day and be tired our first day of the cruise. Wow did that backfire. As we were driving into Galveston Thursday we kept seeing a sign that says cruise ship delayed due to fog. We pulled into Galveston went to go park and they said the ship wouldn't be there until 12:30 so we went to the seawall to check out the damage from Hurricane IKE. Wow the devastation down there was overwhelming. We than returned to park where we found out it was going to be 2:30 or 3. We finally got sick of driving around and decided to go ahead and drop off our luggage at the cruise terminal. We received the great news there that it was going to be at least 5 or 6 before the ship would even arrive. We decided to go ahead and check in and get some dinner next door when we returned we went back through security to learn that it would be 10:30 before we could board. After sitting in the terimal off and on for 12 hours we walked onto the boat at 11:30 and reached our room at 12. Good exprience Not yet... After all that, we learn because of the delay we will not be going to Cozmel but instead Progresso Mexico which I guess you could say is the arm pit of Mexico. All in all once we were on the cruise the next few days we did have fun..

Tate thought the engine smoke off the back of the ship was cool

Hope this is not a look at the future

This was off the very back of the boat

Same picture just different parent

Gorgeous sunset

The double duo

Think they are sick of pictures yet?

This was at the resort we went to in Progresso for our shore excursion

Tate building sand castles

Of course Bailey would let them do this to her

And then pose for it..hmmmm

Before she was buried

Tate was very excited about this shell he found

Taylor not sharing any of the sand buckets or shovels

Still not sharing

Bailey thought she was posing for Sports Illustrated

Taylor and Tate...he actually has the shovel..shocking

Still has the shovel...

She's visiting Graceland in Mexico

This was waiting to go on our shore excursion

At least Bailey wasn't at Graceland alone

This was at dinner the second night on the cruise

Tate and I a very rare picture I'm always taking the picture

The girls

don't ask me...

I think this was Bailey's 3rd plate of food in an hour

Little Tate wanted to play ping pong but the kids before them hit them all overboard

Oh to be 12

Taylor and Tate with there fruity drinks

I had to catch her running by to get this picture

One of the few times Bailey was with them

Tate and I

Little Tate and I

Tate by the pool he wouldn't get into because it was to cold and salt water

The kids in Galveston..Look at the hand rails they are bent due to the wind that came with IKE

On the seawall ..the water was still high in alot of places

This used to be a restraunt on the beach

This used to be a pier

another look at the restraunt

I didn't know you were going on a cruise!! How fun! My kids are dying to go on one. What a great time of year to get away from the cold! Looks like you had fun. And yes, that picture of Bailey at the bar is a bit scary...
That looks like so much fun!!! Tate and little Tate are seriously twinkies, it's not even right. Taylor totally looks like she is holding a beer in one pic! And good for Bailey eating so much! It's paid for, you might as well get your money's worth! That's my philosophy anyway.
I am glad it had a better ending. I cant believe how old they all look...they are getting so big! And you are looking thin!!!
