So, I have clearly been a little too busy the last month to think about blogging...
However, I have a lot to catch up on!
So, here we GO!
AUGUST 12, 2011 - AUGUST 20, 2011
CRUUUUUUISE TIME :]
FOR OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, KYLE AND I GOT TO GO ON
A CRUISE TO THE WEST CARRIBEAN!
SHUT UP, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!
I COULD GO ON A CRUISE ONCE A MONTH IF SOMEONE WOULD
LET ME!
ANYWAYS, WE LEFT ON THE 12TH, DARK AND EARLY!
AND WHEN I SAY EARLY, I MEAN EEEEARLY! LIKE 3
IN THE MORNING! THEN IT TOOK US MOST OF THE DAY
TO MAKE IT TO FLORIDA! FLORIDA IS PRETTY
BUT IT IS HOT AND IT RAINS RANDOMLY ALL THE TIME.
SO, OUR OVER-NIGHT VISIT THERE WAS ENOUGH FOR ME...
AT LEAST FOR NOW!
OUR HOTEL WAS NICE AND IT WAS FREE FROM THE CRUISE LINE,
SO THAT MAKES IT EVEN NICER, YA KNOW?
BUT THE FOOD THERE WAS NASTY, SO WE WERE DEFINITELY
READY TO GET ON THE CRUISE THE NEXT DAY!
ON SATURDAY WE BOARDED THE SHIP! I LOVE DRIVING UP
IN THE GHETTO VANS OR BUSES TO THE MASSIVE SHIPS! SO COOL!
WE WENT ON A CARNIVAL CRUISE AND OUR SHIP WAS
THE CARNIVAL LIBERTY! THE SHIPS ARE ALWAYS SO PRETTY
AND HAVE SO MANY FUN ROOMS AND THINGS TO DO!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
FIRST VIEW OF THE SHIP!
AFTER BOARDING THE SHIP, WE HAD SOME TIME AT SEA!
IT IS SUCH A WEIRD FEELING TO WATCH THE SHIP LEAVE PORT
AND THEN LOOK AROUND YOU AND NOT SEE ANYTHING BUT WATER!
SOMETIMES THAT IS KIND OF A SCARY FEELING BUT AT THE
SAME TIME IT IS SOMEWHAT PEACEFUL!
GOODBYE MIAMI!
KYLE AND I SPENT PLENTY OF TIME BY THE POOL! IT WAS SUPER HOT
SO IF YOU WANTED TO BE OUT ON THE DECK YOU AT LEAST HAD
TO HAVE YOUR FEET IN THE POOL!
WE SPENT MOST OF OUR POOL TIME ON THE ADULT SIDE WHERE
THEY ACTUALLY KICK THE KIDS OUT... NO OFFENCE BUT
THAT IS REALLY NICE! BUT WE ALSO LIKE THE BIG
MAIN DECK BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE ALL OF THE ACTIONS AT!
THE CRUISE PUTS ON DANCES AND COMPETITIONS AND ALL
MANNER OF THINGS FOR PRIME PEOPLE WATCHING/MAKING FUN OF!
IT'S GREAT!
A GUY CARVED THIS IS LESS THAN 15 MINUTES
ON THE DECK! IT WAS SO COOL TO WATCH AND
SO IMPRESSIVE!
SOME HOW I GOT CHOSEN TO BE A JUDGE
FOR THE HAIRY CHEST COMPETITION... IF YOU KNOW
ME, YOU KNOW HOW NASTY I THINK THAT HAIR
IS, SO THIS WAS HILARIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST!
FIRST FORMAL NIGHT!
FIRST PORT: COZUMEL MEXICO
AT THIS PORT, WE DIDN'T HAVE AN EXCURSION
PLANNED, WE JUST DECIDED WE WOULD GET OFF
THE SHIP AND DO AS WE PLEASED! SO, WE WENT TO
UVAS BEACH! IT WAS GORGEOUS AND WE ONLY
HAD TO SHARE THE WHOLE BEACH WITH LIKE 3 OTHER
PEOPLE! CAN YOU SAY PERFECT? WE SWAM AND SNORKLED
ALL DAY LONG! THERE WERE DEFINITELY SOME SWEET FISH!
WE WERE SO EXCITED! BUT KYLE WAS KIND OF UPSET BECAUSE
I'M HORRIBLE AT SNORKELING BECAUSE MY MOUTH IS TOO
SMALL FOR THE MOUTH PIECE... SO I HAVE TO HOLD MY BREATH AND
IT MAKES YOU SUPER TIRED!!! BUT HEY, IT WAS AN IMPROVEMENT
FROM THE LAST TIME WE WENT!
THE RUINS
IT WAS SOOOOO HOT!
KING OF SNORKELING!
UVAS BEACH
COZUMEL PORT
HE CAUGHT A CROC IN COZUMEL
THEN I RODE IT...
I LOVE THIS ZEBRA! OH AND THAT BOY!
AFTER A FUN DAY IN THE SUN,
IT WAS BACK ON THE SHIP FOR A RELAXING NIGHT!
KYLE'S CUTE YITTLE HOT CHOCOLATE!
WATCHED THE SUN SET, I COULD DO THAT
EVERY NIGHT... LET'S BE HONEST!
KISSES!
ISN'T HE A SEXY MODEL?
AND YES... I STILL LOVE MY TOWEL
ANIMALS!!!!
NEXT STOP... DRUM ROLL PLEASE...
THE GRAND CAYMAN ISLANDS
THE WATER WAS PEEEEERFECT!
KYLE POSTED UP, HELPING THE GUY WELCOME
EVERYONE TO THE ISLAND!
THESE LIL GUYS WERE CRAWLIN'ALL OVER!
I DON'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION!
WE STARTED OUT OUR DAY WITH A BOAT RIDE
OUR BOAT WAS GHETTO BUT OUR CAPTAIN
WAS AWESOME! HE DROVE US TO
STING RAY CITY... WITH HIS FEET!
THIS WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS WE HAVE EVER
DONE! WE GOT TO SWIM WITH STING RAYS, MASSIVE STING
RAYS!!
IF YOU KISS THEM, YOU GET SEVEN YEARS
GOOD LUCK! I'LL BE LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THESE
NEXT SEVEN YEARS!
AND WE GOT BACK MASSAGES FROM THEIR SUCKERS!
STING RAY CITY WAS OUR FAVORITE!
WE WOULD TOTALLY GO AGAIN!
THE RAYS FELT SO COOL AND IT WAS SO
FUN TO GET TO SWIM WITH THESE CREATURES!
AT THE END WE GOT TO FEED THEM SQUID! WE
WERE SUPPOSE TO FEED THE ONE ABOVE THE SQUID,
BUT WE DECIDED WE WANTED TO GO SWIM AND
FEED A DIFFERENT ONE... THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE HAHA.
KYLE PUT HIS HAND WITH A SQUID IN IT UNDER A RAY AND
HE FORGOT HOW HE WAS SUPPOSE TO HOLD HIS HAND, SO HE GOT
HIS FINGER SUCKED UP INTO THE RAY... WHOOPS! HE THOUGHT
HIS FINGER WAS GONZO! LUCKILY IT WASN'T! THEN I HAD THREE
MASSIVE RAYS JUMP OUT OF THE WATER AT ME BECAUSE
THEY WERE APPARENTLY STARVING! IT MADE ME NERVOUS/ PUSHED ME OVER...
SO I JUST THREW MY SQUID!
OVERALL THOUGH, COOLEST EXCURSION WE DID!
MAYBE WE NEED A PET STING RAY?
THEN WE HAD TO LEAVE THE CAYMANS AND BOARD THE BOAT ONCE AGAIN!
WE HAD SO MANY FUN NIGHTS ON THE SHIP!
WE WENT TO LOTS OF SHOWS AND WE ALSO GOT TO GO TO THE
COMEDY CLUB AND WATCH COMEDIANS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT!
THE COMEDIANS WERE HIARIOUS! IT WAS SO FUN!
CRAB!
WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!
IT WAS MARDI GRAS NIGHT! KYLE
GOT US SOME BEADS... DON'T ASK! HAHA
LAST STOP.... JAMAICA!!!!
OCHOS RIOS TO BE EXACT!
CAN I JUST TELL YOU THAT I WASN'T EXPECTING JAMAICA TO
BE PRETTY... LET ALONE GORGEOUS! OH MY, I CAN'T EVEN
EXPLAIN HOW GORGEOUS IT WAS!!!!! I WOULD GO
BACK IN A HEART BEAT!
IN OCHOS RIOS WE WENT TO DUNN'S RIVER FALLS!
WE GOT TO CLIMB A 600 FOOT FRESH WATER WATERFALL!
IT WAS A LITTLE COLD, BUT SO WORTH IT!
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HOW PRETTY IT WAS!
AND THE JAMAICANS WERE PRETTY COOL PEOPLE!
THIS TREE WAS MASSIVE!
DUNN'S RIVER FALLS
YA MON!
SEE WHAT WE CLIMBED!
MMMM THIS IS LOVE!
GOIN' BACK IN
WATERFALL MASSAGE
TONGUE OUT
CREEPER...
I WAS SO PUMPED
THE U.S. COAST GUARD WAS IN JAMAICA!
FLOWER FROM MY JAMAICAN FRIEND
GOODBYE OCHS RIOS KISSES
"PEACE, LOVE, AND HAPPINESS MON!"
- ALL THE JAMAICANS :]
AFTER OCHOS RIOS WE PLAYED MINI GOLF...
KYLE DIDN'T EVEN LET ME WIN... RUDE.
NO, I DIDN'T PUT THAT HOLE THERE!
THEN WE HAD ANOTHER FORMAL NIGHT!
WE KEEP IT CLASSY!
AND FINALLY, WE ENJOYED OUR LAST DAY
AT SEA!
THE WATER BEHIND THE BOAT IS ALWAYS THIS PRETTY,
EVEN AT NIGHT!
WE LOST HORRIBLY AT FUN SHIP TRIVIA!
SO SAD WE HAVE TO GO HOME SOON :[
THEN I WAS A FAT KID ONE LAST TIME,
POPCORN AND DIET COKE... YES PLEASE!
DON'T BE FOOLED, HE'S A FAT KID TOO!
ICE CREAM AND PIZZA FOR HIM!
AND WE LISTENED TO THIS CUTE LIL GRANDPA
SING! LOVED IT! HE WAS ON THE CRUISE
ALL BY HIMSELF! GO HIM!
AND WE GOT ONE LAST TOWEL ANIMAL....
THEN WE HAD TO PACK OUR CRAP AND
GET THE HECK OFF THE SHIP!
OUR SECOND HONEYMOON/ SECOND CRUISE
WAS SO MUCH FUN!
WE LOVE WHEN IT IS JUST THE TWO OF US!
AND WE LOVE GETTING TO DO ADVENTUROUS THINGS
TOGETHER!
WE MADE IT A YEAR :]
AND HERE IS TO MANY, MANY MORE!
