Mother's Day Cruise

What started out as a simple weekend getaway, turned into a full blown Girls Cruise! Let me explain~
Our dear friend Jan's mom owns a beautiful home in Cambria whose backyard is literally the ocean! While her mom was away, she was asked to watch Buddy...the family dog! Jan quickly assembled a group a gals to help her with her task of making sure Buddy was ok....and in the meanwhile she put together a much needed scrapbooking weekend!
With one simple cruise related question (verdict is still out on who started it!) Jan ran with the "theme" (you know how we are all about themes!!) Before we knew it, emails were flying back and forth regarding our impending "cruise" ( I could never compete with the writer Jan in the bunch!!) ...and the next thing you know we had our very own "Cruise documents"...complete with our Sea Pass card stating our room assignments!
Upon arrival, our sail away party included a Champagne fountain hosted by our dear "Cruise Director Jan". After tasty appetizers and a delicious dinner, the highlight of the evening (besides the constant laughter that was happening) was the Chocolate Fountain...which was purchased on EBay especially for our cruise!
Saturday consisted of sleeping in, yummy breakfast and the most exillerating mud bath that consisted of mud smuggled in directly from the Dead Sea. ( I can't name names of who brought it....top secret!)
We may not have been on an actually cruise ship, but you would NEVER have known it because we were treated like royalty the whole weekend...complete with the "towel animals" that cruises are famous for!

In time, I will do "digital pages" documenting the fun...but for now, I will share a few of the highlight pictures for you to try and get an idea of the fun that was had!!


THANK YOU Cruise Director Jan.....Job well done!!


My "work view"....hard to get any work done looking at that all day!
