Cruise








I am finally posting about our cruise. We had such a great time and would leave today to go again if we could (except maybe bring the kids this time)It was a much need break from the craziness. I didn't change a diaper for 7 whole days!!! It was hard to leave the kids but I knew that they were in great hands. My parents were kind enough to come and stay while we took off. It was hard the first few days, I kept thinking "I don't know if I can does this" and as the end grew closer I kept thinking "another day or two wouldn't be so bad." We went to Half Moon Cay Bahamas, St Thomas, San Juan Port de Rico, and Grand Turk. All were AMAZING, all were Beatiful, and all were uniqie. We had fun parasailing with the family. There were so many, 11 to be exact, of us that they wouldn't let us all go on the same boat. We were a little bummed but still had a blast. It was so funny when I was up I could hear JD, my brother in-law, acrossed the ocean laughing and screaming. Too funny! We did alot of shopping and Chad spoiled me as usual. In San Juan we went to the rainforest and it was so beautiful. We were able to go on a nice hike and just enjoy the surroundings. Chad and I went power snorklieng in Grand Turk. We held on to these machines that had big fans that would take you around the coral reef. It was like being in a James Bond movie. It was my first time snorkeling and I had to convince myself not to have a panic attack and that I could still breath with my face in the water. I loved it though! We were able to see a 7,000 foot drop off, kind freaked me out. When we weren't out eenjoying the islands we were having a blast on the boat, eating great food, and just relaxing! I feel truley blessed that I have such wonderful family. For those who don't know we went on the trip to celebrate Chads parents 40th aniversary. All 7 kids where able to go, which is a party in itself! I realized that I didn't take as many pictures as I thought and am sad that I didn't capture everything. Guess that means I will have to go back!
