Dinner in the Dining room~

For those of you who didn't know, Andy and I went on a cruise last week. We had been planning to go on this cruise since before Andy's deployment. Andy's sister Beth, volunteered and took the whole week off of work to watch Peyton and Andy's parents watched Baxter. This worked out really nice because they all live in Dallas and our cruise left out of Galveston, so we got to spend a few days in Dallas with Andy's family. During that time we ran a 5k! Andy runs them all the time for fun, but this was my first one. I ran about 3/4 of the 5k and came in fourth for my age group and was very proud of myself! I had been dreading it, but it ended up being fun.


We had a blast on our cruise. We went to Jamaica where we got to swim, dance, and play with an actual dolphin, and we also went to Dunns River Falls which is a 600 foot waterfall that we got to hike! It was amazing and we got some great pictures! Unfortunately Andy's wedding ring came off and he lost it in the falls. :( The next place we went to was Grand Cayman, BWI where we had planned to swim with stingrays, but because of bad weather we were'nt able to do that. We went on a mini tour instead that took us to a turtle farm where we got to hold sea turtles. It also took us to a town called "HELL." It was named that because of the black rock formations there. It was fun to send people a postcard from Hell! haha. The next day we went to Cozumel, Mexico where we also had some bad weather. :( We had tickets to go on this fast thrilling boat ride called the twister, but it was also canceled. That was ok though because we traded those tickets in for something just as fun. We rode a catamaran out and snorkeled! It was really neat, because the water was so clear and beautiful and you could see the coral reef and many pretty fish! THen the boat took us to a private beach with water trampolines, slides and kayaks. It was so much fun!
Because we have so many pictures and it took me way to long to upload them all last night to facebook, I am just going to put a handful of them on our blog. If you want to see more check them out on my facebook! Sorry!
