Crusin' with the Brothers.... 1/7/11


January 7th-10th: Destination - Ensenada, Mexico. Departing from the DeWitt home, Doug DeWitt home, we, Doug & Becky, Alan & Linda, Brad & Brenda, all traveled together in the suburban. We left around 6am and headed to Long Beach, California where we were to start our cruise. We arrived a few minutes before we were able to 'embark' on the boat so we finished watching the movie, 'Despicable Me', in the parking lot of the port. When it's over, we unload our bags and head for the boat.
First timers, Brad and Brenda, totally excited. At least Brenda showed some excitement. Okay - here's some excitement by Brad. By Saturday morning we had docked in Ensenada and of course had to go shopping. It's quite a little walk downtown so we loaded up Brad in a wheelchair and out we headed. Doug and Linda in front of our boat. Alan pushing Brad. Now if you look real close I wasn't necessarily taking it of the guys, but it was of the advertisement statue next to them. Take a close look at it - the product it is advertising is Viagra. It might have even been Super-Strength Viagra, I can't remember. It was one of the funny things of the trip. Here's another funny one. I couldn't quite figure out what it meant, but maybe its was just for luring in the American tourists. We didn't get lured. But funny, none the less.Brad found a spiffy neato hat (which we really do like) and then Doug thought he needed one too. Luckily he didn't buy this one.
We tried this pose several times....finally we decided to try something different....this one with the timer on my camera....We liked this one best.

While waiting to 'disembark' we hung out at the buffet place (where else would we want to be ?) and played 'Fizzle' many, many, many times. I think everyone won a few games. As usual, I found some hearts. The first one I found at a gas station on the way to California. Brad was a witness.
The second one was as we were waiting on the gangway 'disembarking' - way down on this big boulder I could see this rust colored heart. Now the first photo was as close as my camera could go (you can imagine how far away this rock was, and the second photo has been trimmed and cropped by my computer program.
Believe me - it's huge.

I have a world traveler for a sister. How about sharing? JK. Anyway - does Brad still have a hard time getting around? Too bad. But it sounds and looks like there was fun for all - minus your sister.
