A Much Needed Vacation!

Tim and I got away for a week, thanks to Nana and Papa for keeping the kids!  We got to do our favorite thing, which is cruising!  We left out of New Orleans, which was a first for us.  It was a much needed vacation and time to just refresh!  We spent a lot of time napping, laying out by the pool, and of course eating!  We even got a couple of massages!  Here are some pictures!



Our first stop was Cozumel, Mexico.  This is one of our favorite places to visit.  We've been there several times and it is one of the cities we visited 13 years ago =)  This time, we did a little shopping and then we went horseback riding!  We had a blast and it was something that wasn't like us!  After riding we had some amazing tacos cooked fresh!  Although they were very delicious, we were a little nervous because it looked like they were served on meat trays. (the Styrofoam trays that you buy meat from at the grocery store)

 My love!


 Our ship.


 These are the horses we rode.



 This is what we rode in to and from the ship LOL

The view from the side of the road =)  Breath taking!


One of our formal nights!

Our next stop was Caymen Islands.  Our excursion got canceled because of the weather, so we just walked around and enjoyed the local scenery!

 This was a local selling fresh coconuts.... He would slice it to where you could drink the milk and then he would cut it open so you could eat it!  We had two of them and they were DELICIOUS!!!

Just enjoying our time together!


We so badly wanted to take these home with us!

Fried conch!  yes, snail...and it was sooo yummy!!!

Our  dinner guests!  We loved sitting with them each night!  They were a family...Parents, their daughter, and her family!  They were fabulous people =)

Our next stop was Jamaica!  It wasn't what we expected.  Way dirtier than I ever thought, but we loved being there!  We went to Dunn's River Falls and we bobsledded... it was a lot of fun!
