On Friday afternoon, we left our house and headed to the airport. The traffic was ridiculous, so it ended up taking an hour and half when it should of only took 45 minutes tops! That was definitely the most annoying part of the trip. Once we got to the airport we went through security and headed to our gate after we grabbed a quick bite. We had originally had a direct flight to Miami, but then it got cancelled and changed to a flight with a lay over in Los Angeles, CA. Which made no sense. So what would've been a 4.5 hour flight turned into one two hour flight and one 6.5 hour flight. It went smoothly, other than the fact that LAX has literally no good food by the gates. It was annoying and my pregnant self was starving. E slept the whole way from LA to Miami pretty much. I only got an hour or two of sleep. C said he didn't sleep at all because he could get comfortable with holding E. We were definitely tired when we got to Miami and boarded the ship. Our week consisted of lots of sleep, playing and eating. On Sunday, we were in the Bahamas. Half moon cay to be exact. It was beautiful. We spent the day at the beach. The sand was so soft and the water was blue as could be. Here is a few pictures I captured while we were there.
The following day, was a ship day. Although E couldn't go in the pool on the ship, we still had fun. We mostly relaxed and caught up on sleep. We did some exploring of the ship. If you've never been on a cruise, I highly suggest it. There is a little shopping area, tons of bars, a casino, shows, and lots and lots of food! On Tuesday, we were in St. Thomas. This place was probably the prettiest of the four places we visited. While there we did a tour where they took us to Megan's Beach, which is a top rated beach in the world, as well as downtown to shop. I only have one photo, at this moment, from there. It is of my parents!
There were hills of beautiful houses and structures, looking down on the clear blue water. So in love with the views here. From St. Thomas, we went to Puerto Rico. We visited the El Yunque Rain forest, as well as got a tour of downtown where we stopped at one of the forts. We would definitely love to visit San Juan, Puerto Rico again. Our final destination was Grand Turk, G&C. The beach wasn't very family friendly here so we went to the pool at Margarita ville. Hubby loved that because they had a swim up bar. E and I just loved it because it was so HOT and HUMID. I hate humidity. After Grand Turk, we had another sea day before docking in Miami. Before our flight home on Saturday we visited the Everglades. We road on an air boat (just like in swamp people haha). We saw a ton of gators! It was so fun. They even did a show there with about 4 or 5 gators. They were so friendly and smart. Don't get me wrong. I would never go near one, but it was fun to see the guy interact with them. It was a fun thing to fill our time before heading home.
We had a blast! I was so ready to see my puppies though! More to come in pictures!
