The Bahia Belle took us out on the Mission Bay waters in San Diego last Saturday night. The $10 ferry boat ride provided us with first — something to do on a Saturday night, second a fireworks display courtesy of Sea World and third — cocktails and endless laughing.
Props to Shawn Michael for finding out about this wonderful boat tour. Basically people, the boat goes back and forth between two resorts — one in Pacific Beach and the other in Mission Beach. Each way is about 30 minutes. So we hopped on the boat around 7 p.m. and traveled back and forth till 11 p.m.
I was on my best behavior...wearing flip flops this time and not heals. If I were writing this blog a year ago, you would have heard about my mishap on a boat.
Actually it was Shawn Michael's work Christmas party and my mom was along because we had just drove cross country from Wisconsin. Well let's just say I was bleeding, bruised and embarrassed. AND, I ruined my favorite dress.
Anyways, this time Fawn Elizabeth was wearing the heals. But I guess she isn't as clumsy as me. Thank goodness. So before the fireworks display we had a cocktail and kept saying how cool it was to be on the boat and why did we never do this before.
Probably at about the 9 p.m. stop, more people got on. Just in time for the fireworks.
During the fireworks, Fawn Elizabeth and I ended up doing a photoshoot. First I wanted a picture of me and the beautiful display of bright colors. It took a couple of tries. Then we needed a photo together. Then a group shot. Oh and for what ever reason I got a photo with a random guy on the boat in which Fawn later said "Aww...what a cute wedding photo." I laughed and scurried away. We then took some other crazy shots. The camera was doing some amazing things.
But it was about that time to scoot off the boat. The cocktails were getting too expensive and our pockets were almost empty.
Our last stop — a midnight snack at good 'ole Santana's Mexican Restaurant. Ugh, why didn't I just say no?
