Ruthie and I are in Wylie, TX watching Jon’s last wrestling match of the season.
He lost his first bout, which was before we got here, but we just saw him pin his last opponent with 5 seconds to go!
He was really in attack mode against a kid that was chunkier than he was.
Update: he won another bout as well and now gets to compete again.
This was a great family shot from the Mr. Sancho’s beach on the island of Cozumel, Mexico from our recent august cruise.
This is the same beach that Ruthie and i had visited the day after we got engaged, so it had special meaning to us.
I have a video of Jon buried in the sand where it took him a really long time to pull himself out that I will try and post soon.
It’s just 74-1/2 hours until we board the Carnival Ecstasy in Galveston, Texas for a 5 night cruise with our entire family of 5!
We have been looking so forward to this cruise for a long time and now it’s almost time to actually start packing and making final plans for the voyage.
It will be my 3rd cruise, the second one for Ruthie and the first cruise ever for Josh, David and Jon.
Note: for sanity reasons, we opted for our own cabin and the boys will be sharing a cabin. It’s a big ship and we can get lost (see large image) if the noise level gets too high.
Ruthie and i plan to just relax, read and explore the ship, plus take many cool shipboard photos. I’m bringing my small Sony portable and my Canon DSLR camera, so i should be able to get lots of great shots.
Josh, David and Jon have vowed to gobble down a huge share of the vast amounts of food on the ship. There is a 24 hour pizza joint, a (read a review) very good hamburger stand, buffets and formal dining available for all to enjoy. They also plan to spend many hours in the workout room to balance this out.
More on the cruise after we get back on August 23rd.
