Cruise

Steve & I have made it home from our trip to Jamaica and Grand Cayman. We had a wonderful time. Buzzy wants us to take just him on a cruise! He said when Henry is older he can go too, but for now there is just too much that he would keep us from doing. Isn't he rotten??

I bought a water camera for our trip to Dunn's River falls. I took a whole roll while we were there and was so excited about getting the film developed. Of course, I didn't wind the film back before I opened the camera. I am lucky that I got the two pictures that I did get. I wanted to cry, but anyway this is us somewhere in the waterfall. It was so much fun. Buzzy would have loved it and we are going to take him back.

Steve snuck off from me and I caught him holding hands with this blond in a string bikini. Doesn't he look guilty??

Sunrise in Grand Cayman. We were up every morning that we were in port by 6:30 at the latest. That was 5:30 central time! We slept in everyday when we were on our honeymoon and missed out on so much. We swore that we were not going to do that on this trip. We didn't and we were so glad for it.

Steve & I on the boat ride to Sting Ray city.

That's a sting ray! They would swim right up to you. They like to be held. It was the weirdest thing! Steve held one forever. I liked rubbing it's belly. It was so soft and they were just as happy as could be laying in your arms.

I told Pappy that this was the kind of flower planters that I am putting at the lake house. He didn't like the idea!

Our ship the Carnival Destiny

Steve's turtle taking flight! We went to the Turtle Farm in Grand Cayman. They raise sea turtles to be released back into the wild. We could pick them up and hold them. They flapped their little "arms" like crazy until you turned them to where they couldn't see the water. They would calm right down. If they didn't, you were to gently scratch their necks. They were the sweetest little things. When we got home, the first thing Buzzy wanted to know was if we had brought him a turtle! He wants to go back, like tomorrow.

Steve at what is called Hell. This is black coral - I think- that came up out of the sea when the islands were formed way back when. They weren't sure why it was named this but it was either because someone said it looked like Hell or someone shot a bird and it flew in there and they said to Hell with it. Something like that! They had a post office there that people could send mail postmarked Hell.

This guy dove off of our boat and brought up this pretty starfish. You could see them down in the water from the boat. It was amazing how clear the water was.

At the rum cake factory.

The shopping part of Grand Cayman. Can you say lots of jewelry? Heaven for people that love jewelry!

Snorkeling in Jamaica. Steve was holding a Bob Marley sea urchin! We had never snorkeled before and we will for sure do this every time we go somewhere from now on!

The beach at Dolphin cove where we snorkeled. It was cloudy while we were there, but we could tell it was still beautiful. We loved Jamaica.

Margaritaville in Jamaica was WILD!!!! That's all I'm saying!

The walkway through the jungle like landscape to the beach at Dolphin Cove. It was so neat. Reminded me of Swiss Family Robinson.

Our towel animals greeted us every night. I couldn't stand to tear them apart. I would squeal every time that I saw one and of course take it's picture. Steve thought I had lost my mind!
