7 Mile beach..... it was so beautiful!
Getting ready to get back on the ship on thursday. This was the day Ryan was sick. Blake got asked a couple of times who he was married to that day!
Amanda and I at 7 mile beach
Again, sorry I don't know how to turn the picture upright.
This was a little pirate ship that people could go take a tour on. They were pretty cool to see.
Getting some sun at the beach!
On the boat on the way to go snorkeling in the barrier reef!
Blake and Amanda on the bus. The bus was so full that we were sitting on laps.... which made it even scarier!
On the bus to go snorkeling in the barrier reef. The guy behind us was hilarious! We didn't know if we were going to survive the bus ride there. The people there are CRAZY drivers! The bus ride back was even worse!
Amanda and I at the sign for the Cayman Islands. I can't figure out how to turn this picture upright! Sorry!
All of us at dinner on the formal night. It was a fun night!
Ryan and I at dinner the first night on the ship.
Our cabin. It was actually a lot bigger than I expected it to be.
The Lido deck.... where all the food and fun was!
Water slides on the back of the ship. It was so much fun! We went down them every day!
This is our ship. It was huge!! And it's not even one of the biggest ones!
We had soooo much fun! I want to go back! We left early Sunday morning and flew into Tampa. We stayed there over night, and got on the ship Monday morning. We cruised the rest of the day monday and all day tuesday. It was so fun on the ship! They have stuff going on all day for you to do and games to play. We played Bingo 3 or 4 times but didn't win anything. Blake, on the other hand, won $240 in Bingo on Friday!!! He is so lucky! There is food to eat around the clock, literally. The food was awesome for the most part. Breakfast was about the only meal that wasn't the best, but it was still good. We didn't do a whole lot on the ship other than lay out and relax every day. We did go on the water slides pretty much every day, and they were so much fun! Ryan and Blake went to the casino the first night, while Amanda and I went to the karoke bar. (They didn't win any money) Tuesday we pretty much just relaxed and layed out. I won a free facial the first day on the ship, so I went to the spa to get that done on tuesday! It was so nice to be pampered a little bit! Tuesday night was our formal night at dinner, so that was a lot of fun also. Wednesday we got to Grand Cayman about 7:00 in the morning, so we got off the boat to go snorkeling about 9:00 am. Ryan wasn't too excited to go snorkeling, but Blake, Amanda and I all really wanted to go, so he gave in! We went snorkeling in the barrier reef, which was awesome! Ryan and I have never been snorkeling, so it was a little tough to get the hang of at first, but then we got it. Ryan still didn't love it, so he got back on the boat a little earlier than us, but he had fun:) It was amazing to see the ocean floor and see some fish, and coral and other stuff. Amanda and I saw a Baracuda right before we had to get back on the boat, so that was pretty cool. (I don't have those pictures on a cd yet, so I will post them later.) After we went snorkeling, Ryan and I were pretty tired and hungry so we got back on the ship to go eat some lunch and lay out. It was so nice to just relax and not have to worry about anything! Thursday morning, Amanda and I got off the ship early so we could do some shopping in Grand Caymen without the boys. It was a lot of fun! (We were supposed to be in Cozumel, Mexico on thursday, but with the swine flu, we just stayed in Grand Cayman an extra day) The plan was to meet the boys about 10:30 so we could go to 7 mile beach. Well, 10:30 came and we went down to the port, and Blake was there by himself.... Ryan was back on the boat sick! So I was pretty bummed, but we went to the beach anyways. I felt bad that he wasn't feeling good, and that he missed out on the georgeous beach! The beach and water were amazing! The water is so blue there. It is so pretty. We had to be back on the ship by 2:00 so, it was a nice short day at the beach. Friday we just relaxed and layed out, and played Bingo. We also went to the shows every night. They were awesome! They wouldn't let us take any pictures of the dancers or any of the shows, but they were so good every night. It was such a fun trip!!! We decided that cruising is the way to go. You don't have to worry about food, transportation, or entertainment! It's all there for you. And you can't beat the price. It was so fun. We decided to make it a tradition to go at least every 5 years! I have a lot more pictures, but I have to go so I will post them later! Sorry to bore you with all the details of our fun vacation!

So fun Ann. We need to get together so we can talk about our trips. Let me know when you are available next week.
PS. Idk if our computers are the same, but when you load them to your computer, right click, and then it says rotate clockwise or counter clockwise. Give her a try ;)
Annie,
I also am so glad you went and had a good time. We also had a good time with your little Hazen. He is quite the story teller and made us laugh a lot. He is a lot of work though and I was glad when you got home. I really missed you and got quite home sick for my little girl and best friend. You deserved to go though and you and Ry much needed to get away for your Anniversary. I love sweety.
