CRUISE day 4-- Cozumel and my birthday!!

This was definitely the best day of the whole cruise, and not just because it was my 23rd birthday!! We got off the boat around 8 and took a taxi into the shopping center of Cozumel. We bought some fun stuff. Then we took another taxi out to Paradise Beach. It had a ton of huge floating, inflatable things that we could play on (for a price, of course). A "rock-climbing" wall, a slide, trampolines, etc. That was SOO much fun. After a while, Steph and I went and laid out to soak up the sun, the boys kept playing. Another reason why it's good to go with another couple. Girls sometimes like to do different things than guys!





We all shared some chips w/ guac, and a plate of nachos. Steph and I got virgin strawberry daiquiris, for my birthday of course :)

That's Bourne showing off again :). He could go down the whole slide standing up

Do you see Kenny? He's got his arms stretched out in front, still above the water, in front of the slide.

Bourne and Kennard

We did a little more shopping in the port shops before getting back on the ship. No, we didn't buy these. Although I'm sure Kenny would have loved it :)

We got a little sunburned this day and I loved it. We are SO white!! We got back on the boat and showered again, then went and had some sushi and played cards. It was mine and Kenny's first time trying sushi. He likes everything, but I didn't like it. After that we went to dinner. A few of the waiters made a scene by singing happy birthday to me, and put a candle in my melting chocolate cake. Steph got sick during dinner so she left and ended up throwing up everything from the day. So they were done for the evening obviously. Kenny and I went to the juggling/comedy show they had. Then we had fun watching people gamble in the casino. We didn't do it, but I loved watching it haha. Not the slot machines, just the games like Russian roulettes and 21, and others I don't know the names of.

After that we went outside on the upper decks of the ship and enjoyed the beautiful stars, the waves and the warm night air. This was also a very special day because Kenny proposed to me 4 years ago on this day! I just loved being with him on this trip. I loved having all his attention, and no stresses of life, and no other obligations and responsibilities to attend to. Obviously you can't live your life like that, but sometimes it's nice to get away from everything and just enjoy each other. Everywhere we walked he'd hold my hand, or put his hand on my back, or around my waist. At home, we're each carrying a child, and diaper bags, and whatever else. So I really just tried to soak him up.

It was pretty much a perfect day.
