May part 1

Cruise...
Earlier this month Jeff and I went on our cruise. We had a wonderful time. It was amazing, wonderful, fun, and very filling. We cruised with the best people, my sister and brother and their spouses. Enjoy a quick look at our week in the Caribbean.
Our flight to Puerto Rico had a small lay over in DFW Texas so we called up Shalene and Mike. It was so good to see them and their new baby Jordan. Jordan was SO adorable!!!

We arrived in Puerto Rico the day before our cruise departed. We stayed in this really nice hotel. It was totally contemporary and had an amazing view of the ocean. The bathroom...oh my goodness...was like nothing I had ever seen before. It had a shower and 3 of the 4 walls were clear glass.

These next pictures were taken at a Fort called El Morro.





We are now on the Ship. The ship was called Adventure of the Seas.
Cute don't cha think? We were properly trained just in case the ship went down.

Our first port of call was Aruba. We went on a Sail and Snorkel Excursion. The ship was called Mi Dushi which means My Sweet, My Love.


Jeff in in front of a sunken ship. I think it was a German ship called the Antillan.





Next came Curacao. It was beautiful. The architecture was amazing. I have never seen such colorful homes. Pick a color and it was on a home in Curacao.



Our taxi ride...

An ally way...


We did a Dune Buggy excursion that allowed us to see a lot of the island.





We are on top of a fort in the picture below.






While we were at sea we did some rock climbing, eating, ice skating, eating, in-line skating, eating, swimming, eating, playing around, and eating.




All dressed up for one of the formal nights.

St. Maarten




We did a Rhino Rider excursion in St. Maarten.




In St. Thomas we did an Snorkel and Swim on a ship called the Doubloon.




The pictures are not very good but in the picture below is a Sting Ray and a Barracuda fish.





In this picture is a Sea Turtle.




Everyone got Tatoos.



Then the vacation came to an end and we had to come home.
