come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me.

Johnson Family Cruise - 2011

(warning... picture overload!!)

We have returned from an adventure on the high seas! We left Long Beach on Sunday, August 7th, and set out to Mexico. The Carnival Splendor was splendid!

Matthew's 4th birthday was Monday, August 8th. Lucky boy, not many 4 year olds get to be on a cruise for their 4th birthday!



Star Wars, Cars, and Legos... Matthew's favorite!























































Beautiful ocean sunset.






























Brian didn't want to look up for the picture.

Our first day in Cabo started out cloudy. We walked around, had lunch, and then returned to the boat.

holding a huge iguana!

Gabe chillin' on deck.

the elephant was our favorite towel animal!

Second day in Cabo was AMAZING. Beautiful, warm, crystal clear water.

when on land, Matthew would say, "I see our truise!!"

(and Brian would say, "It's a cruise, Matthew, not a truise...")

Emily loved wearing my floppy hat!

Gramma brought a craft activity for the kids... Emily liked making her Sesame Street puppets.

there was a huge family of people wearing shirts and hats that said, "I'm With Freddy." Freddy was their grandfather and they were having a huge family reunion. My dad said if we found Freddy, he'd give us $5. i found Freddy on our last day!

Karaoke!

Even the boys sang!

Emily was sad that she didn't get a chance to sing Pokerface.

it was an AMAZING trip! we had so much fun with everyone!! thank you mom & dad!!!
