Cruisin' 'Round the Baja!

In 1995, my parents "lovingly" abandoned Jennifer and I to go on a cruise. They took Emily b/c she didn't have school, but we did. Until the day my dad died, he would always talk about how much he loved the cruise. For those of you that didn't know my dad, he liked two things: Eating and talking. Well, that and being waited on hand and foot pretty much sums up a cruise. I now know why Dad loved it so much!! I gained a little weight from eating so much. (Nothing the cereal diet didn't take care of!!) Can you say 24 hour ice cream??

The only bummer was my motion sickness meds. I never have been car sick until this vertigo crap, but I decided not to take any chances. However, after wearing the patch I discovered the WONDERFUL side effects: Dilated pupils and dry mouth. Granted I wasn't puking, but I had the eyes of a middle aged woman! I now understand and appreciate it when people say "my arms are too short to read this." Anyway, enough about me. Check out the pictures of the "Geeks on Parade!" (My mom coined this phrase. I don't know why!) I am not going to label the pictures. I think they are self explanatory. Except Emily (aka Sands).....she had this thing about making stupid faces. She says she is just being natural.........

Does it frighten you that I remember when you were "left behind" in 1995? :-) Looks like you had a blast! Tell everybody hey for me!
