Caribbean Cruise

I have been meaning to post about our cruise all week and I'm finally just now getting around to it. Basically we have a bajillion photos and it took me awhile to get them organized. That, and getting back into the swing of things has been, shall we say, difficult. Vacations are great, but for some reason when I return home I lose all interest in doing routine grown-up things like unpacking, laundry, working, cleaning the house, going to bed on time, etc etc etc. It just all the sudden all seems so hard to manage! I'm sure we've all been there. Anywho... let's talk cruise!

The stops on this cruise were the reason we chose it. When we looked at the route we were SO excited about the places we could travel to! The second thing that made our trip amazing were the people we went with: Matt and Heather. We both went to college with Matt and let me tell you, we had so much fun with this pair! Michael and Matt were so goofy the entire time, making up funny hypothetical situations and how they would play out, and also running around jumping off of things wherever we went. It provided for some good entertainment and my ab muscles probably are more toned now than before the trip.

Some of our favorite parts:

- viewing the landscape of all of Miami and South Beach as we set sail

- Heather and me laying on rafts in the Bahamas water while the boys went off to find barracudas

- Magen's Bay in St. Thomas

- double-dating for dinner every night - SO fun, and truly hilarious at times!
- seeing the shows and gambling losing money at the casino

- ziplining in San Juan and enjoying the gorgeous city

- touching a sand shark while snorkeling in Turks & Caicos!

Get ready for a photo explosion... I will try to keep it down to the highlights, but I'm not making any promises!

You can see from the pictures that while the ship was awesome, the things we enjoyed the most were the places we got to see and the people we were with. It was such a fantastic vacation and I'm so glad we got to go!
