Second Day at Sea

It's Monday....our second at sea day. Sorry for not posting anything yesterday. Cabo wiped us out, we barely had the energy to climb into bed! I also have to apologize for not posting any pictures yet...I promise to get some up tomorrow. Yesterday was a beautiful day in Cabo San Lucas sunny and in the low 80's. After tendering off of the boat we explored the dock area and local shopping. Of course we had lunch at Cabo Wabo (don't worry John, no Sammy sightings :-)) and then continued on through the town. As you can imagine we ended up at a local bar on the water with a bucket of Mexican beer...aaaah vacation! Ethan had a great time in Cabo taking in the sights and charming the locals. By the time we got back on the ship he was snoring!
Today was a welcomed day at sea. We had breakfast overlooking the open sea, had a "formal" lunch, and took part in some of the laid back activities on board. We just finished dinner and Ethan has already had his bath and has headed to bed. John and I were amazed today by how many people on the ship know Ethan by name. So many people look forward to seeing him each day. He especially brings smiles to the faces of crew members who have not seen their babies in serveral months. I swear he is tired simply from smiling so much! John and estimate that we say the phrase "he's just about five months" at least 20 times per day.
Tomorrow we dock in Acapulco. The forcast calls for sun and 88 degrees!!! What's the temp in New York? hahaha At 8:30am we leave for our excursion. We are visitng a Sea Turtle rescue center where we will actually get to release a turtle back into the sea! After that we are planning to do some shopping and check out the beach situation. Back on board around 5:30.
Must say this cruise and cruise line is our favorite so far. John and Kristen we have to sign up for a cruise soon! John and I have never had our vegetarian needs met so well. We had a letter waiting for us from the staff asking to meet with us about our dietary needs, and are given a vegetarian and vegan menu for every meal!!! It's incredible and some of the best veggie meals we have ever had.
Hope everyone is doing well, we miss you all! Gigi please hug Raven and Blade for us if you happen to see them. I will email Jill tomorrow to check in! Love you all...more from Mexico tomorrow!
