Day #1 Ensenada

 Our first adult beverages on board was well deserved.

We woke at 4:15 AM in SF

Arrived San Diego at 8:45 AM

(a whole lot of wasted day)

Boarded our bus to Ensenada at 2:15 PM

Broke down in Tijuana Mexico at 4 PM

Arrived at our ship at 6:30 PM

It's less than a two hour drive from San Diego to Ensenada

well...it's supposed to be

Organized chaos - they crew really does have it figured out

Glorious Ensenada - that we didn't get to enjoy at all!

Our port mate

That's about it for day one. Much needed sleep couldn't come fast enough.

Can we say guilty? That's what we were feeling!

We felt bad for leaving our sweet boys for our vacation so...

we planned a weekend all about them (or at least mostly)

Train Town Sonoma USA!!

Facts - 1/5 the size of Disney Land

1/4 scale of an actual railroad

Lots of fun!!

Waiting for the train

Waiting for the "all aboard!"

Petty zoo

Carousel

Pilot Noah

Daddy and Isaac in the blue seat

Pool time - this really shows how guilty we felt

We sacrificed and got in a non-heated pool

for our boys!

Meals out - including Chuck E. Cheese!

Ball in our "Time-share"

We were lucky enough to swap houses with our dear friend and relax a little more that we would had we been in a hotel. We enjoyed ourselves all over Sonoma County with park time and ice cream too!
We don't feel guilty anymore!

New Toy

We are fully aware you don't particularly care that we're

back except for pictures - we know it's not pictures

of our trip you want...

 

Here's what you want - da boyz!

with a new toy

 

Noah reading the directions making sure dad is doing it right

 The shirts are from our trip - Fort George Brewery in Astoria, OR

Isaac a little sad he's not big enough to play

 Dad doing the trial run

 Now Noah's turn

 It truly is a hoot to roll in

Proof is in the video here and here.

You will get pictures of our trip whether you want them or not! Someday...

Maiden Voyage

 It's awesome living on the coast.

Sometimes it's super awesome!!

We've had beautiful weather and Uncle Trav got a new toy!

We were lucky enough to enjoy and evening in the harbor

for the launch.

I just love this old boats 

There it goes

The little's got to be on board for the launch 

DH supervising since he's got more sea time than anyone

Coastal Glamour HAHAHAHA

Awesome!! Noah has talked about nothing but being the Captain of Uncles boat. We've had to explain over and over that he's nothing more than a Deck hand and he can't  be Captain unless he get's his own boat or goes to school to Captain someone else's boat. Mason graciously said Noah can be his First Mate and Isaac can be a Deck Hand when he get's his boat which will black and silver - none of this white stuff (can we say Raiders fan?). CUTE BOYS!!
