A few weeks ago, Matt and I were able to take a much anticipated vacation. Our first cruise. We went with Matt's parents, his brothers Curt, Darren and Mike and their wives. It was alot of fun and I would definately cruise again.
DAY 1 -
We flew from Idaho Falls to Salt Lake, Salt Lake to Los Angeles, and Los Angeles to Miami (the red eye flight). It wasn't too bad, but we were definatley tired by the time we got to Miami.
DAY 2- Day at Sea
The weather wasn't the best, so we just ate a lot of food and hung out with everybody else. It was the first formal night at dinner and it was fun getting all dressed up. We don't ever do that, so it was fun.
DAY 3- Cozumel, Mexico
We started off by playing some beach volleyball as a group. That was alot of fun. The beach volleyball court was right next to the ocean, so it seemed like every time we hit the ball it ended up in the ocean. It was fun.
Then we did a razor tour through the jungle and along the ocean. It was really gorgeous. Matt loved driving the Razor and got a little crazy a few times. We even got to stop and gather sea shells along the ocean. We loved Cozumel.
DAY 4 - Belize City
We went and saw some Holler Monkeys and then had a tour of Belize City. This wasn't my favorite stop but I did enjoy feeding the monkey.
DAY 5 - Roatan
We absolutely loved Roatan. We hired a tour guide named Lara and she was awesome. We went to the West End to the beach and Matt did some snorkeling and I enjoyed the beach. The beach was gorgeous and so was the day. This was our number one favorite.
DAY 6 - Grand Cayman
We started off at 7 mile beach and then we headed to Stingray City. I was a little nervous about swimming with the stingrays, but I got in and it wasn't too bad. There were a ton of stingrays and it was fun to watch Matt wrestle them down. He loved it.
DAY 7 - Day at Sea
The weather was not good again, so we resorted to eating. We definatley got our fair share of food. It was all so good and it was always available.
DAY 8 - Miami
We decided to stay over in Miami, so we went to the Everglades to Gator Park and we rode on an air boat. I even got to hold a baby gator. Check that off of my bucket list. It was really cool. Then we headed to South Beach. I liked Miami and the weather was awesome.
DAY 9 - Home
I was so anxious to get home. We were able to bump our flight and get on a little earlier flight. We didn't tell the kids and we were waiting for them when they got home from church. They hugged us and couldn't get enough of us. I was so overcome with the love and how much I missed them, I was brought to tears. The moment was priceless. I am so glad my parents were so willing to watch them and also the kids' favorite babysitter Linzy and her husband Braxton. This wouldn't have been possible without them. We had an awesome time and I am already looking forward to when we can go again.
